Twofer 09-05-05 11:38 PM

I was wondering what that blue wire was. Mine's just hanging out of my dash. I guess I should get around to install a stereo of some kind...

Makenzie71 09-05-05 11:41 PM

I ran my amp wiring either under the carpet or along the driver's side jam rail with he stock harness.

I was thinking that as well! Just wait until Aaron Cake gets a hold of that pic. He is anal about wiring and I remember him saying something about runing along the driver base trim.
