4-Gauge wiring from Vertex just got here. Wont be able to get anything done with Margaret as my dad's been borrowing it to drive to work. Got a spot cleared in my brother's garage for my Grand Prix to park for the remainder of winter. Going to employ him to help me put together the system

that's going in it. Yay waiting.. double 07 is finishing up the box for my 8's, its coming together nicely. More updates ahead!

How much did that wire cost you?

This is the best 4-Gauge wire I've ever bought.

Andrew at Vertex Audio was kind enough to upgrade me to a spool for free.

Is there a website I can buy it from?

Box will be here later today (1-18-13.)
According to tracking info from FedEx it departed Perrysburg, OH at 12:58AM.

Thanks again @double 07.

Edit:
Dad's not borrowing my dearest Margaret any more, will be routin' my 4-Ga wire as I get the time.

Good choice upgrading the climate control. Need to stay cool in the summer since you're gonna be making the ladies melt with your bass lol.

I didn't upgrade my climate control.. That's standard, I may upgrade to a '01-'03 climate control (for the Grand Prix). Been reading on how they're less glitch-y. Some times I start my car and the fan's blasting, even though the display says its off.

Got some sh*t done!

Wiring harness Good2Go!

Dash kit Good2Go!

Better shot of wiring harness.

Connectors I used since I'll be swapping the HU back to my Grand Prix come spring.

Package. $2.47 for 7 Male/ 7 Female connectors @ WalMart.

Good choice on the bullet connectors. Hopefully yours are of better quality than mine. Got 'em at Fry's and they're a PITA to separate once connected. At least I know they're not coming loose lol.

And could have sworn that was a replacement climate control. You got me there.
