    Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions but what wires did you use?

    Wires as in size? I used 14 gauge on everything connected to the switches. Might be overkill, but better safe than sorry. Just Autozone power and ground wire.

    Ordered my 6 switch plate. I'll be coming to you with questions in the next few days. Your wiring is clean!

    Haha awesome, and thanks!

    I still need to organize some wiring under the hood, but other than that everything will go smooth as I add accessories.

    I have a bunch of wiring harnesses that came with switches. The light on them stays on when they are off (red) then turn green when they are on. I wonder if I could cut them and solder them on to the carling switches??

    Hmm, not sure... You'd have to find out what each wire in the harness did to know where to connect it at, if it'll even match up....

    Yup, mine is just slid up in there and stays by itself. As for sound quality, it's definitely loud enough for me. If I turn it up all the way it's too loud haha

    The speaker is on the bottom.

    Haha maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and your cb will fit flush without too much modification. Some people seem to have more room back there while others like me have to heat up the air duct behind it a little to be able to push it back some more.

    I'll always try to answer if I can help haha

    Haha would be nice, although there isn't much to do in terms of wheeling out here.... :(

    Oh well, a couple more years here at the most and wherever I go next should have wheeling much closer.

    I want to try and change out the lighting in my cb and amp to orange. I'm betting that the green on the cb is a film though....

    I have had no desire to wire/ mount items until I found a solution to relay/fuse which now I have. I seen that guy before but your testimonial was a good influence.
    Needless to say everything will be rewired and routed. I do like your new setup nicely. The switch panel is a nice compliment.

    Eh, the CB is different. I left it hooked directly to the battery to reduce interference.

    So... Terrible excuse :p
