FordBoy Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 what would be the easest way to run wireing from radio to anntenna withoout someone tripping over it in the backseat. i found a slit in the old 1 which is why it didnt work. it looked like they cut it to put an extetion on it and e-taped it together dumbass.

jeremy Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I would run it behind the dash, down the side of the car and into the trunk....just lilke most people run their RCA jacks to amplifiers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 would i have to take out the dash to do that? I wouldn't...just tuck it up underneath the dash above the access panels and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhasadd Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 You wouldn't have to take out the entire dash. Just the piece where the HU goes and run it through the side panel to the antenna. It's really not that hard. I love doing the wiring for systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love wiring electronics too, thought I would in the car, but once you add in the whole awkward positions part, the mystery wires, etc. it's kind of a pain to me.
