Sure won't lol. Stick something in the little hole to push the ungodly small button to change the time and nada. It just always stays at1:00. Good thing I got the radio with the time! Oh wait, one of the buttons to change the time is broken since I had to superglue the face plate back on so know its god knows how far its off. Now all I gotta do to set the time is unplug the negative battery terminal at precisely 12:00 am and plug it back in.

Totally unrelated, I've got the box almost done for my amp enclosure, pictures to come when it's finished. Got the lock installed, and my problem now is noise complaints. I was asked to turn off my power tools and leave the parking lot, so I'm using a trim saw in my living room. I don't know how long I'll last before another visit, and I'm so not looking forward to cleanup...

96xjclassic cut up my template for me, but I had to make some last minute modifications with a hand-me-down jigsaw that only has one bent, dull blade. It isn't pretty, but it's coming along. It fits in behind my passenger seat on the floor, measured with the seat pushed fully back. My amp will be inside, and it'll look nice once I carpet it. Gonna hit up a scrapyard to make it match, cause it's like $50/yd online. To do: clean up the edges, carpet it, buy a vent/cut out a hole/install it, mount it all. As for the amp, I'm screwing it down in a cake pan (for baking) so it'll be safe in up to 2" of water if the cab floods. Still need to do the wiring tomorrow.

Just a little bit of bump... 12" Infinity subs powered by an 1800 watt kenwood amp. Pioneer deck up front + kenwood speakers all around. These subs really pound.
Some cold cathodes I wired up to a toggle switch inside the center console. They look kinda pink but they're red/orangeish in person.
It's great to be on the forum!

How'd you wire the cathodes?

Thanks! I wish it was as clean on the outside as it is on the inside. My rockers are almost totally rusted out and other miscellaneous trouble areas. I wired up the cathodes running some speaker wire up through the console and into the back of the cig lighter. Key off, no lights. No accidental battery drainage!
