    that would be a good idea, pics in this case are pretty much essential for people doing their 1st stereo installation

    We dont use that one, we use the one near your passenger CV axle and oil filter adapter.

    I havent really started many threads after checking. Musta just hi-jacked someone elses thread.

    But srly, I dont mind a slow car as much if I can listen to music.

    But if it has neither a sound system or speed then I'm not interested in driving it.

    Why does everybody connect at the fuse box? Simpler install is my only guess? Even though I don't see anything wrong with wiring at the fuse box I still went straight to the battery. I like the simplicity of that. Something just makes me feel uneasy at the thought of pulling power through top of the fuse.

    because the alternator power wire goes there?

    Because it results in a shorter run?

    If you were a REAL boss you'd connect directly to the output of the alt.
