Great minds think alike. I just finished the install of my Alpine unit (still need to tuck the wires away). The PO had cut holes in the doors so I filled them with some great 2-ways. I replaced the stock dash speaker with the dual voice coil model from Custom Autosound. Sounds really nice. I'm going with a slim design powered subwoofer under the seat and that will be fine for my tune needs.

Those of you with the radios that have USB ports, can you just put music on a flash drive and plug it in there, or is that for plugging in an Ipod? |

Future plans include power windows & locks so I decided to add the rubber conduits that I removed from a square body Ford Bronco. I removed both front fenders, measured up 2-1/2" from the top of the lower door hinges marked & drilled my holes for the conduits. The door jamb received 1-1/2" holes and the door received 2" holes to match the conduits. I installed the boots or conduits (what ever you want to call them) taped the edge of the doors & fenders to prevent chipping the paint and put it all back together. Now when I get my power windows & locks I'll have a head start. While I was at it I fixed the door jamb switch for the passenger door to turn off the courtesy lights when the door is closed by adding 3 stainless washers behind the switch. Of course I had to spill a little blood while I was doing all of this.
