    I installed a Harley battery a while ago It has the side connections not the top. Its a real PIA to install the cables IMO.

    Dawg, you didnt hit the mute button by chance did you? I did that once. a1, after i changed my stereo I installed theese polks. 35 watt rms 105 watt peak. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB400/Polk-Audio-db400.html?tp=102&tab=essential_info I installed a sony marine unit and the cd skips i never use it though with having a ipod and XM satalite reciever built in. the newer sony marine units have built in inputs for i pods. to control it here is a write up i did on the install and pics MY stock stereo was giving me trouble. seemed after it got hot the left side would start crackling, poppint and cut out 1/2 way and all the way. I pulled it out and sent it off to Sierra in OH reluctantly just before Thunder by the Bay in Sarasotta so i missed the weekend event http://www.venturers.org/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif but i looked forward to getting it back and ended my troubles. after i installed it i found out it still had the same trouble. They told me I could Ship it back and they would look into it some more. but i had already spent ovenight shipiing and ther repair fee i didnt fell great about paying to ship it again and wondering if it would be ok after installing it again. So i tole it all out again and bought a marine Sony system a cdx fm 50 sony cd player. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158CDXR...essential_info I bought it at West marine and wanted the sony RM X55 marine remote but they were out of stock and not due for a week or 2 so i found one at Crutchfield.com I removed the srstock reciever and power amp from the stock mountinf bracketttt and cut and reformed it to accept the Sony mouning piece. this i riveted on so the sony unint had room to slide into tit stillas a bolt would not have clearance for it to slide in. After a little trimming with a dremmel of the plastic dash pieces to reomve the excess plastic on the bottomside to make clearance with the new stereo it fit fine and i bought a black plastic storage box at walmart and cut it to fit into the square ressed section that the stock stereo display used to be. the remote works all the funtions of the sony and a satalite reciever can also be linked to it if i like. Im not planning on useng the cd player as ive got my I pod nano. the only thing is i dont have the noise mike like b4 to raise the volume gutted dash Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_747s_126.jpg altered the stock mount Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_748s_478.jpg New mount in place Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_749s_138.jpg in the dash Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_750s_135.jpg head installed Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_755s_197.jpg\ sony remote controler on dash Click this bar to view the full image.http://www.venturers.org/Forum/memberuploads/mvc_757s_223.jpg Then i went with Polk 105 peak watt 4" speakers and bass blockers http://www.crutchfield.com/S-b826CDS...nfo&i=107DB400 http://www.electricalconnection.com/...ccessories.htm Click this bar to view the full image.http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2005/107/h107DB400p.jpg
