[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1491979, member: 555320"] Thought today was going to be a good day. Got off work early, it was a nice day outside, a few little odds 'n ends were supposed to show up from sounddomain today. Was pretty excited about coming home and dickin' around with my stereo for a little bit. Get home. Have a message on the machine from a company whom I applied for a job with yesterday...so I'm pretty excited, very quick call time..that must mean something decently good I presume. Copy down the number, go to give a lady a call back.....and all I get is a message telling my the # I'm trying to reach has been disconnected [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif[/IMG] Okay, I probably just copied the number down wrong. Listen to the message a few more times, double check the #....nope, it's definitely the one she gave. So, okay...I probably just dialed it wrong. Dialed it a few more times, keep getting the same messages. F[I]u[/I]ck it, I give up...I'll try to find a different # tommorrow, right now I wanna d[I]i[/I]ck with my stereo. So, go outside and tear out my 8053 to sell it to a local kid. All goes well, while I'm doing that my order from SD shows up. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif[/IMG] for me...or so I thought.

Uggghhh....so after ****ing with that for half an hour, I finally get it into the dash and all buttoned up. So, I begin to tackle my order from SD. Top-post battery adaptor terminal, 0/1ga in-line fuse holder, yadda yadda yadda. I pop my hood, unscrew the battery terminal screw (had a GM side-terminal car, now have a top-post battery, so I just screwed the side-terminal screw into the hole for the top-post...works for now).
