How to install a killer stereo for $500 (loads of pics)
with all the talk about how great the bmw speaker wires are, I so happen to have a complete wire harness from my donor car. Would it make more sense to use this than the wire that came with my amp kit?

Yes, absolutely. I hoard BMW wire, especially considering how expensive shitty wire has become.

that's good to know. I like the wiring harnesses to look stock still. I'm definitely doing that.

Ok so after reading it through 4 times like a complete fucktard. The audio is now sent from the radio to the amp via rcas. Correct? And the front half of the rear speaker wires are now used to send the amp signal to the front speakers.

trying to better my understanding. The speaker wires that run out of the back of the head unit are no longer used? the "sound" travels through the RCA cables? NOOB sorry.

If your car is a NON premium speaker car the sound gets to the amp through RCAs. And when you cut the wires that are going from the head unit to the back for the rear speakers. You use the FRONT half of that wire to connect to the wires for the front speakers. So behind the radio instead of plugging the wires to the radio, you connect the front speakers to the rear feed. Its like your extending the wires without running anything. And the rear speakers are back there so that's just a simple jump. Make sense?

I just removed all the trunk tar in preparation for the arrival of my LukeBox. I went the dry ice route and it was actually pretty damn fun. For starter I got to play with dry ice for a couple minutes and then you just hit shit with a hammer! I kinda want to do it again lol. That shit sure it heavy, though. Anyone know about how much a whole trunks worth is? If I had to guess I'd say 20-30 pounds, but I'm quite terrible at guessing weights.
