So, I got to thinking, which isn't always a good thing, and decided to install the CD player I bought 3 years ago. I really wanted to add it to this thread, but it has already been archived.

Anyway, the answer to cutting the dash is: use a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder. I started using my dremel, but after the third disc and only two inches of cut, I broke out the dewalt. In keeping with my ghettoness, I used some leftover sensor wire from my garage door opener for the speaker wire. I kept the same box, but drilled a small hole in the floorpan behind it, and routed the speaker wire under the cab. Hopefully, the exhaust won't melt the wire sheath(guess I'll pick up some high temp loom for that bit.

Anyway, I still haven't done anything with the motorcycle amp. The boat I ended up getting already had a radio installed. But at least I got one more box(the one I kept the cd player in) off the shelf. Now to build a sub box that's molded to the rear quarter panel...


Look at all the pretty lights, now that's fancy.;D

Hey, did you paint your floor?

I'm hitting the swap meet this saturday. So just to clarify, 100 watt amp and 2 5 1/2 inch speakers, some 16ga speaker wire, and RCA into 3 1/2mm.
What size is the connection on the ignition post?

Why for not man? Not working the way you want it?

Possibly interested (depending on shipping) Edited
