When I read "...in the wheel well..." I thought I was going to have to flame you. This is not the case: looks good:thumbupw:

And one more,

I was not able to put in the battery terminals that i bought b/c the factory wires will no more high enough to connect them to the terminal, so i must try and loosen them some.

I also have engine noise, and when i turn on my blinkers i hear them too, so im going to sand down the ground and hope that this improves it. Right now its grounded to the factory ground i found under the seat.

Next i have to seperate the seaker cables from the power cables b/c as you can see in that one pic with the amp, the are all clustered together in that little opening.

I also ran the REM wire to the lighter 12V so that the amp will turn on when the Car Does, im not sure if this is the reason for hearing the blinkers throught the speaker.

I don't know about all cars but some will let you use the cig lighter without a key in the ignition.. have you checked to make sure you can't?

other than that... keep up the good work

we are all people who can relate to the first install (except cjjackson) keep up the good work, and as long as you search and read up first and come with an intelligent question...no flames here.

I would leave it taken apart but then i would have to hear it from the G.F. When i was working on the doors i drove for about 2 weeks with just the bare metal, those were the worste 2 week of my life.

What are you doing to the doors?, Put the doors back on?, i hate not being able to rest my arm?... So as much as i would like to leave it all taken apart, to show the wiring, I just cant take the nagging. Maybe i will make kicks out of plexi glass (now thats a challange for me, a guy with a wrench set, a screw driver set, and wire strippers. Hence no tools)

As for special question, i try to refrain from those, i have already done some research on what i can do to eliminate engine noise, and if those small fixes don't work, then i will ask q's .....For all the NEW B's like me ... USE THE SEARCH! It really works!

Hopefuly if tomorow isn't pouring and this grave yard shift doesn't get to me i will work on the wiring some.

BTW; Im sure that the lighter power turns off when i turn off the car turns of, b/c that is where I have my dash neons connected to, and should i leave the switch on, when the car turns off they turn off as well. So no worries there
