RCA wires! WTF!

[X-RunnerMike]

Got my headunit installed this past weekend, and even though I wasn't installing my amp/subs at the time, thought it would be wise to run the rcas and remote wire so I didn't have to do it later..... How the hell did you all get these wires down through the dash! Good God! I gave up after an hour or so!

I remember it was kind of a pain. The best way is to make some sort of a fish tool out of a coathanger or a couple long zip ties taped together, push the fishing tool through from the bottom of the dash to the radio, tape all your wires to it, and slowly pull it back through.

It takes 2 people. One person to hold the unit and organize the wires, and another person to stuff the wires into the dash. It is a pain!

Not all of us have as understanding/compasionate/mod loving/SMART significant others....... Damn you and buck! :argh:

It's not that bad. Zip ties help organize the wires. You kinda gotta just feel around with your hands.

Pull the glove box out, it helps to be able to get closer to the wires.

Eww a stock head unit lol. Really it's not that bad, I never needed another person to help, and I have a big ass radio with 3 sets of RCAs, a few remote lines, gps antenna, microphone cable, vss connection and all the other factory stuff back there lol. It fits just fine.
