    Whose wiring harness did you use? If you haven't done it, PLEASE use some flex conduit/ split loom on the wiring, along with shrink tube at joints/ ends. That expandable sleeving works wonders, but is a bit of a PITA to install, but is definitely worth it!

    Yep...
    I bought a big ol roll of tubing for the harness I was supposed to have jury duty today but lucked out and was cancelled. So I was out back all day wiring up the car most of it is set up and ran through.
    Just need to run the rear light wires towards the back.
    I'll snap pics in a bit

    Going to get one of those old school tissue dispenser for under the dash and hide the radio in there probably take apart the original radio and get that speaker out and install two 4x6 side by side and connect to the new radio along with 2 6x9s out back
