Keep in mind that you will require a higher voltage altenator to run all of the add ons. Insulate the wiring I run the wiring inside a rubber hose to keep it from being pinched or cut & shorting out under carpet etc. Check your local laws. More & more cities and towns now have laws against noise. It might save you a talk with the police. Where I live it is a $1,000 fine first offence for disturbing the peace. 2nd offence $2,000 & car impounded for state DOT inspection. Under DOT rules anything that isn't factory installed comes out before it leaves the impound yard. All expenses & cost are yours. If you are caught with your stereo cranked it could get costly real fast. Thats a major concern. Use good judgement when driving and playing your stereo.
