Was wondering if anyone could send me the info on how to take off all the panels in order to do an install? I am thinking of adding a new Hu, components in doors, and a sub in the trunk with an amp to run the components and the sub. Does anyone have this set up and how does it sound? Thanks

i did not have time today to hit every single link in the FAQ and verify them to be good. as always, if you notice dead links -- please post them here and i'll either try to find the updated link, replace the link, or attempt to mark them dead with the hope they may come back.

This might be helpful for FAQs. Might be something on it there already../shrug
Keep in mind that length is a factor here as well. If you're doing a long run (>20 feet), you should use one size larger. It doesn't hurt to use a wire size that's larger than necessary, but it will usually cost more and can be more difficult to install.
