Default Hard-wiring a Valentine One

Last week, a HUGE speeding ticket ("...but officer, the M3 started it!") spurred me into buying a Valentine One. I was planning to get it hard-wired when I upgrade my stereo, but that's weeks away (at best) and the wire is driving me crazy.

Can you guys suggest some top-notch car audio shops in the Boston area that you've had good experiences with?

Thanks.

Yeah, I saw the DIY guide on S2000.org, but I'm not what you would call handy. I know it's pathetic (my father is surely rolling over in his grave), but I love my car too much to subject it to my chaotic tinkering.

I'm also planning to replace the crappy stock stereo, which is why I'm looking for a reputable place that does good work.

If you want to come down to my place or meet somewhere, I will do it for nothing.

Here's my V1 resume:

washing and waxing your s2k is harder than hardwiring your V1- come to the next meet either the pirate party or the next dinner meet and one of us will do it for you as it take about 5 minutes at most

the s comes from the factory with three extra 12v ports - this makes it very easy

Where do you live as I would also be more than happy to help you wire your V1. I can help with the Stereo install also, and my time is also free.

Hard-wiring a detector is a piece of cake in this car.

I did it following that write-up above and was done in about 10 minutes. Didn't even take 2 beers to do!

3 extra 12V ports? You got me all excited for a minute until I realized those must be the ones under the dash on the fuse box.
