I see your point but get tired of seeing it in every post. Half the fun for the people here is to work as a group, talk, exchange ideas. And yes, some are bad, some are good. But in the end it is everyones decision to go in whatever direction they decide.

Yeah but someone has already done the work and gathered the info for this. It IS a valid answer, it's just not free. So until someone decides to host a site where the answers are free, you can either complain when people post a link to PTDIY, which gets jsut as old as seeing links to PTDIY but is less helpful, or you can go out, do the research yourself, and post an answer. The internet is great, it allows a lot pf people to get thigns for free that they would have had to pay for otherwise, but just because someone asks for a nominal fee for something doesn't mean the site is now worthless or belongs in the classified section.

Maybe if enough people sign up for it, he'll drop the price?

I've only played around with the rear speaks so I can only give you the wire breakdown for the rear pillars:

Brown Wire w/Light Blue Stripe = Left Rear Speak. Pos
Brown Wire w/Yellow Stripe = Left Rear Speak. Neg
(Located under the moldings on the drivers' side)

Dark Blue Wire w/Black Stripe = Right Rear Speak. Pos
Dark Blue Wire w/White Stripe = Right Rear Speak. Neg
(Located under the moldings on the pass. side)

You can tap into any of the cig. lighter plugs to get your turn on juice (depending on whether you want it to be able to be on 24/7 or turn on with the key). My amp is under the drivers' seat so it was easiest for me to run the switched tap from the lower cig plug above the cup holders. Originally I was gonna have it in back and had just tapped from the cig plug next to the jack compartment.

You can run all your wires right under the moldings that run along the edges of the interior with no problems at all.

The main power cable for my amp goes through the firewall next to the hood release cable. There's a fair bit of room under those moldings in the interior so the in-line amp fuse is located under the section right by the drivers' door.

I haven't pulled the factory radio but as I understand it there are no rca outs present so you'll have to tap into the regular speaker lines.

HTH.

EDIT: If you've already got the head unit pulled you can work it all out with this as a guide - should be the same: http://carstereohelp.net/wireharness_Chrysler1.htm

I have a new 2004 Turbo Dream Cruiser and just found out that the Sirius satellite receiver for my factory 6-disc in-dash radio is located in the driver's side rear panel where the subwoofer would go. JL Audio's Tech Departments says it's much too hard to move to mess with, so they say you can't use their stealth subwoofer box with this radio. Has anyone been able to install the Mopar OEM 8" sub-woofer which comes with a full replacement panel with this factory radio? How did you handle moving the satellite receiver? Is there a place for it in the new replacement panel? Thanks![:0]
