thanks for the responses so far

ron, i saw your info on the tech forum. how did you run the antenna wire to keep it out of view?

also, how do you gain access to the floorboard kickpanel to install the tuner? im considering the alpine unit with the tuner built-in, so that may not even be an issue.

are there any problems with connecting a head unit that has an internal amplifier?

again, thanks for the help
