My dash was already cut, I put in asuper tuner from best buy w/ 6x9 triaxle spkrs. I made boxes for under the seat. It took a little tweaking to get a decent sound (not too tinny) acouple $100's for now maybe a small amp later to richen the sound a little. Got one w/ a removeable faceplate kind of a pain but still there. good luck. Ken
P.s. you really persavered w/ your brake job, good job I probably would have gave up!
