So my car already has a deck installed and it needs to be replaced. I have my old deck that I am going to be throwing in, but when I went to check it out to see how I would go about taking the old one out, I was baffled :? How do you remove the plastic cover thing to get at the deck? The plastic thing that surrounds the heater stuff as well as the radio etc. I couldn’t see any screws holding it in, and yet it stays solid. Sorry if this is a noob post, but im a noob! Chilton’s didn’t give much insight on this particular problem and I dun wana break something :oops: Thanks guys ---

pull it out from the bottom below the shifter as it is only help in by 6 clips and then it will expose everything ---

thought so! thanks man also, kind of a major shift in topic here, but how do you get the antenna nut off of the power antenna at the back? I worked at that bastard for like an hour (totally messing it up :? ) and it wouldn’t unscrew… any ideas? ---

where exactly did you guys put your amp power through the firewall? The cable that goes from the amp to the battery. Its driving me absolutely freaking nuts (and I would rather not drill through the firewall unless I absolutely have to)! :grrr Edit: BTW Typh00n, pulling from the bottom worked like a charm 😃 ---

yup, got some help from a mechanic that used to work on Nissans and we got er beat. He managed to get it through a grommet on the passanger side and I finished the install yesterday. Sounds super awesome :drinkers:
