Picked up a d17 and auto trans for 300. sold the auto trans for 450. going to play with the motor a bit. will post pics in a while.

if you wire you own system up use plug kits. it saves from cutting. match color to color and do not connect the dimmer. cap it off. if you do not use a plug kit, your wirk should look neat and have proper connections. DO NOT USE RESIDENTIAL TWIST CONNECTORS FOR HOME WIRING. they are not suitable for this application. they will come off because of the vibration. tape the connections in their entirety and cap off all loose connections. poor connections can ruin your radio, amp, or electrical systems. all your local sound shops and even best buy has plug kits for around 20 and are a breeze to install.

here is what mine looked like after i replaced all of the connections and replaced the antenna. if you decide to replace your antenna, tie a string to the plug end. about 4 ft will do. this way you can re pull the antenna through the pillar. if you do not have an antenna and are looking to replace it, you can simply run it inside the trim on the outside of the pillar as i did. if you have block off plates for your antenna, there are other amplified antennas that get just as good reception as factory.
