That is just WRONG!!! But you gotta do what you gotta do. I hope you are done on time and can go home and get some much deserved rest.

I'm really looking forward to getting/installing the new stuff, then I can finally relax and enjoy all my cd's, mp3's etc, all over again! It will be like all new music!

All my new stuff arrived on Thursday!

I stayed up until 1:30am Fri night/Sat morning to install it all! Man, I was wiped out on Saturday. There was no way the 2nd amp was going to fit under the passenger seat too, so I had to mount it under the driver seat. To do that, I had to cut out the bracket for the jack. I'll put the jack in the rear next to the spare tire. Once the bracket was out, the rest was fairly easy if not time consuming. I still need to solidly mount the subwoofer in the box, so I can lay it down without it falling out. I was able to use 4 gauge wire for power and for ground so that is good. I drilled a new hole in the firewall next to the AC drain and ran the power wire through a gromet, then zipped tied it to various out of the way things in the engine compartment then up to a fuse block, then over to the positive terminal on the battery.

All the connections appear to be 'solid' and now I need to 'tune it'. I'm re-reading Alien Mantis's recommendations and comparing against what the instruction manuals say. Their settings are more conservative, if I'm undestanding them correctly. I am just about done! All the 'heavy lifting' is complete, now it's down to a screwdriver to make the adjustments.
