My condolences go out to his family and friends. That is such a tragic loss.

Those are some promising ideas. I figured out that the Metra dash kit that I have in there now won't work at all for this, because the top two parts that snap into the dash are attached to the rear compartment, so if I cut that off, then nothing would hold it in place. Luckily I found that the Scosche dash kit made for my car (http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FD1327B-1995-Up-Storage-Pocket/dp/B0007KK22E) has a detachable storage pocket, and it appears to mount from the top of the kit itself, so not having the storage pocket in there shouldn't matter. I'm gonna order that one, because it should stand a fighting chance of working if I dremel it out a little bit lol.

That sounds like a good idea, but the EQ didn't come with any screws, or even screw holes in it :/

Sounds good, but what will hold it in place?

Alright, that seems like a good idea, but how exactly would I screw the EQ into the dash kit? There aren't any mounts that came with it other than the ones for mounting it directly to the dash, which I think would look hideous.

This is gonna sound stupid, but what does iso mount mean? The rest of the idea sounds promising though.

Thanks for the info guys!

Does anyone know of a dash kit that offers that? I just bought a Clarion EQS746, and I am trying to figure out the best way to install it on top of my head unit. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to go about modding the adapter that I already have? Its a Metra, but the storage slot is a little too small to fit the EQ through. I know that I would obviously have to cut the inside of the storage slot out of the adapter, but from there I'm not sure what to do. IE: how to actually mount it to the adapter or dash. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How often do they go bad? lol

That actually is what I meant lol, They have a 6 meter 4 channel set for $22, a 2 channel 6 meter set for $14, and a 2 channel 1/2 meter set for $6 in the Karma series, so it actually seems really reasonable. However, I was just looking at the cables in the link, and they use RG59 coaxial cable, which I have been reading about, and it seems to be pretty good lol.

Even the Knuconceptz RCA's are $42+ shipping for the Karma series for everything I would need, and the Krystal series would be $58+ shipping. So even their RCA's are really reasonable, and I woudn't say $50 is a very "cheap" price point, considering the good quality of wire I could get form Knuconceptz for that price. I'm leaning more towards the Karma series, mostly because they have a 1/2 meter cable which i need to go from my headunit to my EQ in stock in that seriesm and its not in stock in the Krystal series.

I'm going to be needing some more RCA cables soon, as I'm about to install a 4 channel amp. I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, maybe $50 or so maximum for a short set to go from my EQ to the headunit, and then 3 sets of about 20 ft. each. I found this link: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?spcDB=10218&spcWord=Audio+Cables+-+RCA+%26+3.5mm&keyword=premium%20rca in another post, and I was considering those, but I'm unsure about their quality, as I haven't really heard of anyone running them. I was also thinking about some RCA's from Knuconceptz, either the Karma, or Krystal series most likely, because they both seem affordable, and come in the sizes that I need. If anyone has any other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated as well!

It is a little big lol. Thats not really an issue for me though, but It will probably be a month or so before I buy either one. I'm waiting on the next run of Skar VVX component sets, and they won't be in stock until August 5th. So in the mean time, I'm trying to get everything else together, and then just do one big install of it all lol.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I'm kind of leaning more towards the MB Quart that Joe X mentioned, mainly because it seems like a fairly reputable brand, and its only 5 watts more than the RMS rating of the speakers that I'm going to buy per channel, vs. 10 lol.

Thanks man! That one actually seems like it would be better lol. Have you ever heard one for yourself?
