Finally got my gf to leave me alone long enough tonight, to tonight the install. Took about an hour and a half to run the sub umbilical cord, run the wires to the head unit, and run the power wire. All in all, it probably took me about 3-4 hours. Knowing how it all comes apart, and having all the necessary tools ready to go, and weather in the 70s, I could probably do it in about 2 hours of o had to do it again. I didn't really get to listen to it too much, cause my dog was going crazy and my gf started *****ing. Review of the sound will come tomorrow.
Oh, I too, had the issue with the power wire. If you cut a slit in the loom, you can pull the wire out of there. You just need to slip it out of that top zip tie first.
