axelfinn, as you can see in my initial pictures, I ran right from the existing fuse panel (which has worked fine for me). The only thing I ran directly to the battery was the sub I put in behind the seat. That being said, if you plan on making any other electrical additions to your rig I would...

Looks like i've got another project to add to the list :whistle:

Marcus, I definitely see your point! I tapped the stereo itself into the fuse box but for the sub's amp, I ran a wire under my floor mat, through the firewall, and directly to the battery to help distribute the load. I just grounded the sub to a bolt I drilled in a wire brushed portion of the...

Go figure huh? Fingers crossed for you, I don't know how I lived without mine! We had better be seeing some pictures by the end of the weekend :mrgreen:

No problem, glad I could help! For the record, I did it without dynamatting and haven't had any concerns. Another alternative would be to mount them under the dash where they would be on a "normal" truck. Probably a little better clarity than down by your feet... Something to think about!

RiceBurner, I ended up putting them in the door panels. I used a hole saw on the plastic panel than trimmed away what I needed for a snug fit with some cutting shears. You need to also cut a hole for the rear of the speaker behind the panel into the actual metal of the door, so i'm sure the same...

I realize they don't come with a stereo as my M1009 didn't either. It looks like it was put in by the guardsmen at Ft. Ripley. I'll definitely remember what you said about the batteries, although I wasn't getting any power regardless. Can't be too careful! And you can see where I tapped into the...

Fits like a glove! only required a little trimming here and there. Next comes the fun part... I used the same template as I used on the plastic to mark up the solid... metal... dash... She definitely sparked a little bit so beware! After about a half hour of chopping, maybe a couple choice...

Since I hadn't seen a good "How to" on stereo installs here we go! I figured as much as I loved listening to the constant roar of that 6.2 at highway speeds, that stock radio wasn't going to cut it anymore... So to anyone looking to make a little upgrade to the M1028, that I thought made a world...
