tamcnally did yours have to be wired up to the parking brake light? it says it needs to be, if so where is this light, and does it mean just putting the truck in park or do i have to use the actual pedal park

Yeah im the same. I never really was either until like every vehicle I rode in had a sub so I got to liking some rap(not all tho). My other buddy was selling a 10in sub 450 watts I put it in my dak just as a head turner pretty much and I turned out liking it a lot more than I thought I would I ended up selling it since it wouldnt fit in a ram and I sure do miss it. This thing would rattle everything in and around my truck.

yea or like a bolt on the floor. any type of ground will work. but put a switch in there so you can break the ground to it. ie: push the parking brake engaged and released

i think my next task will be to move my fog lights switch to the strip of plastic between the radio and air dials, put the switch for the dvd player, and im gonna get a set of fog lights to put on my rear tow hitch and put a switch in the same location as the other two, and have them all be the aircraft style or the ones with a blue led on the tip, i think it'll look sweet
