Ran into difficulties but straightened them out.

Spent around 8 hours straight in 100 degree weather setting up the sound system and wiring everything up correctly. We had to make our own brackets to mount the front speakers without drilling or cutting any holes whatsoever, and what we figured out is pretty ingenius. I had to perforate the back cover so the rear speakers would go through which was a very TEDIOUS task. It took me 2 hours with an exacto knife to get it just right.

We thought we were done and the sound is fantastic, so we decided to take a short cruise with our tunes cranked up. A few miles down the road the sound just STOPPED but the radio stayed on and we didn't know what the problem was.

I turned the AC on and the sound would kick back on, but stop when I shut the AC off. Turns out the battery was running at 16 volts with the engine revving which is too high and would immediately shut off the radio. Turning the AC on made the volts lower so the radio would work.

We charged the battery for a few minutes and all is well now though!
