ok i started on installing my cd player at about 10am yesterday i took out the stock cassette player and kept the bracket it was in to use for my cd player
next i take a break to call the insurance lady to get my car fixed(i was rearended on the 1st) she feeds me some bullcrap and trys to get my to total my car i say no it is getting fixed, then she says she will call me on wednesday i say fine and head back to work
i don't feel like wirering the whole damn thing so i headed to the stereo store to pick up a wiring harness
now i figure how i am going to mount the cd player i look at a few options and they failed so now i just riped out a few tabs on the bracked and get some screws and washers and just bolt that thing down
sodder the wires together hook up the harness and start up the cd player...
thats odd it has power and says it is running but no sound to the speakers...
then when me and a friend pull the thing out and check out the wiring looks good
i check the fueses and ones blown i replace it and the same problem
well the stock mazda speakers have amps for each speakers so we have to rewire it so that the speakers are hooked up driectly to the cd player
. that takes a little time then we start it up again walla it is running
we get done it is late and i am happy i will post some pictures later

they pushed it down and the motor didn't like it so when it was hooked up before it would make a clicking sound like it was trying to go up but it never would
