Awesome.Thanks! I have two speaker boxes behind the front seats. I mounted some brackets behind the dash and put two 6x9 speakers there. One behind the glove box and one to the left of the steering wheel. Tight fit but I got them in. The speakers and radio were free so I just had them laying around. Eventually I'll get a nice sub and maybe a backup cam since the radio supports it. It took about 3 hours or so to make all the cuts, a little more to run wires to try to keep them hidden. That plastic melts fast! The metal wasn't so easy, ruined a saw blade making the hole big enough. I cut two lines on either end and bent the original dash pieces back. Not the best hack job, I shouldve taken time to sand the edges, but its covered by the plastic so not really noticeable.
I bought a hidden antenna with a booster and installed it behind the dash too. Wired it to the acc wire for the radio for power and it picks up stations great. I was a little skeptical about it but I got it free too thanks to Bing and Amazon!

For the sub if you're not looking for a super expensive competition set up get a Car Dual sub kit. They have on that's a 10 inch sub 300 Watts output. The amp is made inside the box. The only wiring you do for it is the ground, power, and outputs from the radio. The controls and runners are on the back of the box. It's a basically self contained sub. You can get them at Walmart I have one and love it.
