upgrading Stereo..Anything I need to know?

[Viper23]

I am going to an audio place on Friday to get my stereo system put in my GTS.

Anything I need to let them know NOT to do? Such as where the fuel tank is, heat issues with amps, etc... Any knowledge will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I was told their is no "plug - in" connectors to use factory harness. So they told me it would take a "from scratch" wiring setup.

Fuel tank is in raised partion between seats and trunk well.

I am getting ready to install Pioneer head and 2 new amps soon. also adding XM radio. I am going to wire from scratch, as I have head to many reports of bad door speaker wiring from factory.

Thanks...

Have you heard anything about the amps being too hot? So no drilling against the trunk well...
Thanks

On GTS. The factory amp is on driver rear well. you could do that also on passenger side. just make sure they avoid screwing/drilling in the center. If my memory is correct, you will see "humps" in the trunk floor. these are where the frame rails are located,,,if you stay outside these you should not have fuel issues...

I would avoid covering the vent areas in the trunk completly. these need to relieve the pressure when shutting doors/hatch.

With the heat issue, you will notice the amp bracket that "stands off" the carpet. I would just leave an air gap from carpet.
