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 |

FYI
The Cigar Lighter will work but if you have ever removed yours it may be loose. You may experience a loss of ground when you hit a bump. It would be safer to run the ground to the same spot on the firewall that you put your support strap (shown as existing bracket on the diagram) for the back of the radio! |
