Period radio install for total electrical moron Options

[bembry]

Guys,
I have a period Blaupunkt Frankfurt, as well as two cheapie 4X6 speakers that I want to put into my 914. I have the correct faceplate as well. Bunch of questions, and please pardon my ignorance. I've never done any wiring at all. Ever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

What gauge wire do you recommend for the speakers?

What kind of connectors do I need?

Where do I get the power for the radio?

What do I mount the radio to in order to support it?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance, and again, pardon my ignorance.

Brent

BTW Brent - I don't recall if I posted it at your other F-license plate bracket post, but I'd go with a new bracket kit with hardware still available from Porsche at dealers & the other usual sources (PCA members get 20% parts discount from dealers from time to time, if you don't need it `til Spring join & wait for the email notice of discount).

That way you'll have a nice new/painted bracket & non-rusty hardware & non-crusty nylon inserts to last longer & not screw-up your chrome bumper, as you work on your ongoing resto.

The front bracket has the crossbar offset higher than midway, while the rear is midway IIRC (or visa versa).

Also, Tod is relatively close to you now down in Joysee (NJ) - also known as the "rocker rivet king", & Pat Garvey in the Philly area, & a bunch of others. IIRC you're now based in RI.

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
