Not very good pictures but here you go.

I have the boxed moved over about 12 inches from the drivers. I did this so I could put something under the drivers side.

It isn't the remote it is the 12v constant for the LC6i. I then run the remote for the amps from the LC6i.

I have the true remote wire to a add a fuse in the passenger side fuse box.

Langlowe, I think im ditching the LC6i and using the PAC harness now. I just ordered it on amazon for 30 bucks. I think them im gonna install the Audio control EQS to clean up the sound.

I like the pac harness cuz it has a remote wire that is built into the harness that controls when the amps come on and off, via the power button on the stereo. So when my headunit is off....my amp is off. No need for it to be on all the time like with the LC6i

I will update my thread when this happens.

Yea ive read the posts about drilling out the connectors. Its a bitch. but if you go slow and dont rush, it can be done. and the end result is much better than using stock speaker wire.

I hate to say this but I think I also have a pop. I didn't hear it when I running the front stage just off the Clarion. Now that I have the mids off the Sundown 125.2 I can hear it.

The reason I can now hear it is I blew the passenger mid the other day. I hated hearing just tweeters on the left side so I disconnected both of them.

Right now all I have is passenger mid with no tweets up front. I turned the deck off yesterday and guess what I heard a pop. I was able to repeat it over and over.

It is the always on fusing that is messing us up. If the stock HU had the 12volt accessory then the amp would turn off when the deck did.

I am looking forward to your impression of the MS-8. I am so close to pulling the trigger on a dedicated DSP.
