Bed cut help
So you're doing a blow-through where you mount the enclosure in the bed, then cut through to the cab? If so, I suggest going to the junk yard first and practicing before cutting up a customer's vehicle. This is not something you should attempt on someone else's vehicle for a first attempt.

Be glad you're not working on a german car. I struggled for a few hours to put back the trim panels which hold the overhead upholstery. Hmm, couldn't disagree more. BMW's are the easiest by far. Basically no manual or schematic necessary as theyusually just make sense. Japanese shit is a fuck show and American in between. Fucking GM is horseshit as the panels tend to explode if you put any force on them. While I haven't yet messed with a German, my Camry is by far the best engineered vehicle I have owned. Everything is just simple. No frills, nothing is built like a tank, but just functional. It's a great ho-hum daily driver. Their electrical systems could use a little help though.

Any one of them. Many drivers on the market are over-motored. Bigger sells though.

Bah, that's 1/8th mile. Not that quick. I could spend $5K on a Mustang, F-body or something similar and do the same thing, reliably. I guarantee that Mitsu has quite a bit more than $5K in just parts and labor.

Some basics for Sound Quality purposes
http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Audiophile Amazing what you can find with It's amazing that people can define themselves as experts without any basis or facts to back up their claims. Audiophile is nothing more than a title made up by some asshat(s) whom think they have superior hearing or knowledge of audio superior to others. I love seeing this term thrown around.

Reselling of car audio?
That's interesting. There is a ton in metro Detroit. I don't even search out for them and I know of 4 within a 15 minutes of my house. Detroit is about 3x larger than Ft. Wayne, but the Fort is still about a quarter million in population so it's certainly not small either. I'd probably need to take off my shoes to count the number of audio shops I've seen come and go down there. It's difficult to even try to shop locally for simple install products, usually ends up being a waste of time & I end up having to order them online. Are you South of Ft. Wayne? I have two JL dealers within 30 miles here. We also have several shops and pretty much all mainstream manufacturers are supported except for Pioneer. Hell, my neighbor's son owns a shop and he makes bank. Of course he gets the cash only clientele if you know what I mean. No, I'm north. The store in SB is 102 miles away. I guess there is one in Sturgis according to the website but I've driven by it a couple dozen times & would be surprised if they carried any stock....from the outside looks pretty low end to me. Never stopped in there though. Shit, I used to go to Sturgis every week and never saw an audio store there. Funny.

May also try taking some potassium if you happen to be low on that. Actually, my potassium is a little high. Doc told me to cut back on the bananas which sucks because they are the base fruit of my daily shake. I figured out of calcium, sodium, and potassium, the latter would be the lowest. :P/> You could also try taurine if the tonic water doesn't help. What is taurine?

Welcome to the IHoP
When I was first diagnosed with Celiac disease, I went nuts on fruit. It was literally half of what I ate and I mixed it in with everything on every meal and snack. I would go through about 20 bunches of bananas and bags of oranges a week . This stopped about 3 months ago.

So I've been having issues with my calves cramping and waking me out of sleep. Doc told me to drink some tonic water before bed as the quinine helps with cramps. Never had tonic water before, and I went full boar and chugged a couple ounces before realizing IT TASTES LIKE VOMIT!

The injectors no, but they could have chewed some wiring or pieces have been lodged in the lines somewhere.

Anti Theft Light on after HU install
The stock HU is part of the vehicle's anti-theft databus system. Everything is integrated. You will have to get an adapter or hook the stock HU back up and hide it somewhere, or have the ECM reflashed and the anti theft removed. No longer can you simply remove the stock HU and install an aftermarket one in place.

I can deal with that, at least until you go around the back.
