Well yes i finally did get the stereo in and working. Not terribly thrilled with the look but it'll do till I get another idea on how to screw it up more.
Here is a shot of my fuse box. You can see the two piggyback pick ups I put on the fuse box for the electric hook up. What you maynot realize from this picture is that I have the wrong fuse in the wrong holder. White fuses are 8 amp, red fuses are 16. There should only be one white fuse inbetween the two reds. Not 2 like I have. This is the fuse box. Mine is upside down. You can see that the 3rd fuse from the right feeds the horn, radio and a bunch of other stuff

Mine (albiet upside down) has this fuse in the 4th position. So remmember folks- always check your manual and your fuse box. Don't let stupid happen to you!

After the wiring crap was done, I reinstalled the glove box. this shot is from underneath

and then this is the unit in the glove box

As I said I'm not totally thrilled and I have to clean up the area a little but it'll do for now. And heck, I can always keep the door closed.

Now I just have to figure out the speakers s#r s#r s#r

Looks real fine to me 0198 Heck, your not going to be driving around with the glove box door open & when your parked it will be closed right? You don't want to even see my wiring 888

John

Looks great!
About those speakers..
Any space under the rear seat? Is there a panel like a beetle? How about a removable speaker box in the back with just a couple of plugs ? you could yank it out for shows and put it back for crusin around. Just some thoughts. 2CENTS

Yeah, I'm probably going the speaker box route. I've gotta check around and see whats offered.

PepBoys has some good deals on them.

John,
I found that box we spoke of. Looks something like this...

There are protective grilles on the speakers and no amp. Looks HUGE in the picture but those are only 10" speakers

So 12"x22" +-

Yours if you want it

Shawn, will I be able to use it with the 6X9 speakers that I have or will I need round speakers like those in the picture?

Well my daughters have always thought of this car as a hearse!

Lol i can take a hint. ;D

Baha (Shawn) · January 11, 2009, 10:14:07 PM

It's complete with (round) speakers. They should be OK. If not and you want to use 6x9's you can make a cover plate.

6T5 square · January 12, 2009, 05:38:25 AM

Thanks buddy! Can you bring it to the next meeting?

Baha (Shawn) · January 12, 2009, 05:45:04 AM

Sure, if you want to wait that long. You going to "Breakfast with the Type 3's"?
