    When I got my car it had no radio installed. I found the orig in the trunk, ran it for 3 days till the weekend when I bought a new one. Every vehicle I've ever owned has gotten a cd or mp3 player within about a week after purchase. I can't stand not having tunes.

    How did you route the speaker wires into the doors, through the grommets into the door panels themselves, or did you just tap into the wires on the back of the dash speakers?

      I went with new wire through the grommets. Used a neat little tool that my neighbor showed me. It was like a metal snake . . . . thing. I forgot the name of it. I ran the rear speaker wire down the drivers' side channel under the edge of the carpet and up along the rear seat into the trunk.

      The only problem I have is that the drivers' door speaker rattles a bit. I put some cushion-type stuff on the lip of the speaker, but it didn't help much. I think it is something else in the door that is rattling. It's not too noticeable with the car running 'cause the dual exhaust covers up the sound.
