well if i can suggest something is don't goto bestbuy, they do not connect the wires correctly, i know this cause i applied for a job there. All they do is strip the wire twist and tape, no connectors no soldier. really any clifford product is really good, they make all there products top quality. My brother had the IQ9000 i believe it was and it never had any problems. Many options on it too. U'd be better off going to a custom installation place, or circuit city, but NOT best buy.

i never done it before, but i guess there should be a first for everything. well if i have this one installed by a pro the next one will have to be installed by a pro too, so i will never learn how to do it.

:D this is something you don't learn on your own, i was taught this at school. you NEED to KNOW what your doing before you dive in. You don't wanna be having feedback go into your computer and blowin it up now do you?

feedback is like current going the wrong way into your computer or into a wire causing other functions in which u use diodes.. Break out the big yellow phone book and make some calls to car audio places ;D
