Default Bad Timeing

After ordering BT 2014 radio replacement kit and waiting two week's for his brackets to get finished. {anodized} I get email from Bethany today saying they have shipped. big thanks to her putting up with me bugging her she took it well.
This would be great news normally but here I am feeling like caught flu bug , girl friend just got a new great job she wants to celebrate this weekend and harvest is not quite done yet so work is busy would normally not be big deal just put it off tell next weekend but after long summer of dealing with flash crap just so excited to have properly working radio, Anyhow hope can find some help here on tuning deck in soon.

I feel for ya. I went the Metra route and the kit will be showing up on Saturday but my daughter needs plumbing work done on her house (tub leaking). That and the BT speakers I want are on back order. I'll get the Sony deck and wiring done, minus the speakers so it will be another week to hear some good tunes.

Ouch! My metra kit is being shipped FedEx, then transferred to USPS for delivery. USPS is the worst I've ever used. I hope my stuff isn't lost as well....

Hey Flying, how did you wire the speakers in the lowers? I've got OEM lowers, but was looking at the Matuza pods. Fit good? Finish?

BT wiring and in parallel with uppers one channel and other channel running 6x9 in bags. I have the complete Matuza lowers and the hole thing is fine where you just need the pods I would buy anything that could get deal on there is not much to them so don't see how one could be much better than other. Big sound difference for you and passenger

Lucky for me, no passenger so it's all for me. That's why I'm not doing the bag speakers. I did break down and ordered the 7.1's for my fairing today!!! Whoop whoop!

I installed BT Pros in the fairing, Kickers in the tour pods and a 4180. Decided to ditch the flash and ordered the Kenwood 998 and the BT kit. Harness was slightly off so Bill and I settled on a swap - the correct one must be travelling with UltraClassicWNY's kit. I always admire folks who exhibit patience because I don't seem to be built that way.

It's only money.
