Yeah, I'm going to be installing the factory RAQ 6 disc, mp3 unit in place of my REF single disc unit.

you get enough airspace/magnent room for those w6's under your seat? I have two perfect w7 10"s in my shop, cant use them because i want my back seats...they are about 4 or 5 inches too deep it seems

Super easy.. just buy an interface like the periphial cyaa ( http://peripheralelectronics.com/products.aspx)

I have that one, picked it up on ebay for 60 bucks. It gives you front and rear outputs plus a remote turn on for the amps.

I also have the foxbox, ( i love it) it is crazy how much bass you can create with the right speaker/amp. I have to open my windows or the sound presure is unbearable in the cab.

Does the bezel assembly just pop off or are there some hidden screws that need removed to change the head unit? My 6 disc unit will be here tomorrow.

You were correct. Thanks for the rag tip, it was on there really tight. The holes were there, but no screws like you said. New unit (RAQ 6 disc MP3 unt) works and sounds great for only $165.00 from Epay.

so if you want to keep everything stock, and add subs just get the box, subs, amp, wirekit for amp and speakers, and a line converter. i just got done doing this, i wired the line converter into the back door speakers, and then from there you have your pre-amp out puts and all you have to do is run the remote wire from the lighter outlet that turns off with the key, then run your power and ground wires, and hook the subs up to the amp and then your done. i have 2 10" memphis subs, rockford amp and capacitor, they work and sound awsome
