thats my car

I hooked it up to the battery (there's a small rubber peice you can run the wires through) and to the fuse box for the remote wire.

I have a fosgate amp hooked up to my speakers in front which i replaced also and an mb quart amp hooked up to my two 12's in the boot

I love the way it sounds btw

The MINI clamshell CD holder fits perfectly in the secret compartment, too.

On our trip to the north coast I stuck $500 in for emergencies and never worried about it at all !
