Post a pic or two when your done would love to see it. (I also need ideas too)

 

went to my buddies and got the hole cut and the tabs bent, i did a test fit and everything goes in nice. getting a little late here, so it should be in tomorrow. hopefully.

 

got the stereo in the dash. fitsgood exceptonerpoblem. i didntacount for the distance the lock in the glove box door sticks inward, the door wont close now. not to big of adeal, i plan to make a better piece to fit in that is made with thinker metal.

the speakers were a pain to get in. the rear window makes it very difficult to drill holes. i only got one speaker in, and only 2 screws lined up.

i wanted to test what i had in, so i hooked up the speaker to the stereo and started playing it. it wasn't bad, it'll sound much better when both speakers and possibly more speakers get put in.

then i thought to myself, "is the car to rumbley to hear music, so i started the car. tehn the stereo just shut off. i cant get it to go back on. what did i blow a fuse or something? why did this happen? why would it work just on ACC but not with the car running?

 

you mite have it wired in a wrong curcuit

 

uhhh, sorry for my ignorance, but i don't really now what that means. i readf a little bit on some articles and they say things about wires coming off the stereo touching metal and grounding. all the wires in the back of my stereo are just hanging, so that probably happened. i didnt even think of that, i just figured since i wasn't using them they could just hang. my bad

 

the thing works perfect now,and i got both speakers installed. these little speakers are loud! bass is pretty good to. ill take pics tomorrow. thanks for the help guys.

 

May I ask what you used for splices and connections?

 

he's young so probly twisted the wires and a wrap of black tape
just playn with ya 64!

 

glad to hear you got the stereo in sony makes nice xplode 6x9's and amp that will hook up great with what you already have

 

i know the corners in the sheet metal didn't come out good in the glove box, but im going to make a new metal piece out of thicker metal. ill try to make it look cleaner.

EDIT: for connections, i actually did use mostly black electrical tape. i ran out of wire connectors.
