I'm gearing up for the install. My hardware list is.

RF RAVDVD1

Generice 7" motorized dash display

2 generic 2" titanium drivers for center

RF FanaticQ 3Way comp set for front(the 4" and tweeter will be put in universal kick panels)

RF FanaticQ 2Way comp set for rear

2X 10" Punch He2's (silver cone)

Punch 8002 sub amp

Power 800a4 amp (old school)

20 farad digital capacitor/distribution

200 AMP breaker

OmniFi DMP1 with wifi

0/1 GA. and 4 GA cables and all interconnects accessories etc.

200 SQ. FT. of fat mat sound deadener

I originally planned on using the new Power series amps, but I got such a great deal on these 2 used amps($400 for both shipped) that I couldn't pass it up.

First and really the only thing I consider thats going to be tricky is the HU. I don't know if anyone here will be familiar with my vehicle(2004 GTO)but it doesn't hurt to ask. Since my RAVDVD isn't going to power the speakers(it can't) and there is no power antannae, so I figure I will just run a power and remote lead myself for the HU. However I need to know of any adapters/kits to retain the door chimes and serial data bus on this car. Anyone know of one? Any tips for the HU install would be appreciated. I am using the one and only single DIN mounting kit available for my car except I will have to mod it to accept another din piece(display), so thats covered. The electrical in the dash is where I won't know.

Noone is familiar with whether this car needs an adapter for door chimes and data bus? If so which adapter? I have never done a newer GM HU upgrade.

I looked for the wiring harness for you man, Its not listed in our top wiring catalog (metra). I bet they havn't come out with it yet. You may want to check the usual places (bestbuy, circuit city car, audio shops, etc). Sorry.

Thanks for looking. I checked all the online vendors and didn't come up with anything. Its looking like they don't have a solution out yet. I am going to hop around a few shops locally and ask too.

looks like you'll have to hardwire it.

Thats what I'm afraid of. I was hoping to keep where bringing it back to stock would be a cinch. I think I am going to take it to a shop for the HU install.

Good call, that way if they f-uck it up, its under warranty from them to get it fixed.

Bingo! I didn't buy a GTO just so I could f*ck up the electrical and have the dealer tell me to piss off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Once the HU is in the rest will be a piece of cake.
