Thanks for the suggestion Bates! My TP is on & off on a regular basis so that means all kinds of quick disconnects and no tunes when when running without the TP.

You’re mean and cruel. Why can’t we have our cake and eat it, too? Actually, I hate you all. I’m not even 72 Hours post install and I’m already looking for more.

But I really like my cake (and pie) with ice cream

May just have to have a smaller piece of cake?? Any of those smaller amps I listed have a chance of fitting in there with the Metra unit and CB module, or am I SOL and will have to prioritize?
