thanks for the help... This is my first big install... I'm not sure what you mean by start small and work my way up, but if you mean to do a smaller system setup, and upgrade it later and do more stuff later, then im not going to do that cause my car is getting built the way i want this time... after i get my car done, i'm moving on to a GSX and won't be doing a whole lot to this car other than regular maintenence and stuff... I will be reading a ton, and making sure everything is right and that im not gonna screw it all up before i do it though...
if its your first big install, expect a lot of frustration. my best advice is to stay patient and alot a bit of time and money to make sure things get done right the first time!! if you ever have any questions please ask! best of luck to you.
