HA! Or maybe you can buy it and let me use it. We can turn that repair shop of yours into a woodworking shop instead
gwargantua, lots of cutting, pushing, and cussing. Im still not really sure how I got it through there. I guess you didnt see my other post, huh 1.5 hours and I still didnt have it through, went and took a break, then came back and had it though in 5 minutes. lol
Patrick, mine came with a 300 amp fuse also, but I ordered a 120 amp fuse from Knu when I got the speaker wire and RCAs.
Im going to rewired the CD player first. I have an idea for that ground that Im going to try-worked in my old truck, hopefully it will solve my problem here. I still think some of it might be that d@mn delayed power wire that I have the turn on wire tapped into.
eDuh just isnt my kind of company. Id rather spend a little more money and get a nice product too, like the Raammat.

I'm going try again and re-run a larger power wire, but i don't need one that big. I'm just going to use 8 gauge. I still want to see how that other guy ran the wires through the wheel well too...perhaps that will involve less cursing...

Alrighty, got some stuff today. Spent way to much money, and I also now remember why I hate the city
Sheet of MDF, some T-nuts and bolts, a new circular saw for cutting (even has a nifty laser thingy ) some cool paint, yadda yadda.
Instead of texture and paint to match the interior panels I said eff it and got some satin black textured paint. Sprayed a little tonight and it looks pretty cool, should work good enough for me.

Yeah, the place I got all my stuff didnt even have everything I was looking for (Menards for christ sakes, I thought they had everthing) and I about shat myself when I paid. Fricken had to buy each t nut and bolt individually, in their own little packaging. Damn packaging probaly cost more than the hardware.
MDF was 23 bucks, 3 cans of paint 20 bucks, and my total was 60 bucks.
That means I spent about 20 bucks on a few friggin Tnuts and screws (12 of each to be exact), and a few carraige bolts and pretty little acorn nut things for the amp rack. I was poed when I left that place!
I figured I would have been able to walk in there and buy things like T nuts and what not by boxfulls for a couple bucks a box

Ahhh you suck. It would be great to have something like that. Seems like you always forget something and dont realize it till your installing. Youd be able to have it the next day instead of waiting a week for it. Im jelous
