[QUOTE="ace72ace, post: 14109873, member: 138112"] Well I hit a snag. Good news is that unit powered on and the 2 pairs of door speakers sound great. Will need to fine tune the system as the component speakers are 2ohm and sound 'louder' than the 4 ohm woofers. Bad news is GPS unit is defective. When you buy refurbs, this is the chance you take; [URL="https://flic.kr/p/njjkZa"][IMG]https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2940/13990768303_41a6fe842e_b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Looks like some hammerhead just ripped out the head unit while the GPS antenna cable was locked into place, so now even holding the antenna jack firmly in place, I never got more than 2 yellow bars.

This will also give me some time to sort out the subwoofer install. I may end up just mounting the Cerwin Vega amp to the box, so when I hit the track, both pieces will be coming out.
