Hey guys, I installed Xm this past weekend, and took some pics in case you decide to do it, you'll have som ideas on where to put stuff..

That is where I put the antenna. The reason being, in the center the hatch pushed on the wires, and looks like it could cause some wear and tear. On the right, it doesn't push on them. (About 1 - 2 inches from the hindge)

This is where I put the decoder. There was plenty of room to clean up the wirse, and zip tie them off so that they are away from the Jack. Also, a simple screw into the 1/8th inch metal that hold the jack provided for an excellent ground.

This is the pioneer DEH-6400 that I chose for the head unit, simple, but good clean power.. I'd guess 22 - 24 RMS
BTW: I mounted it on the bottom shelf because it was supported better, but also it is easier to access, and gets more shade on sunny days to help keep the display visible.

This is the inside with the crossover and the tweeters installed. I managed to salvage the factor plugs, so that I can just connect and disconnect the speakers in the future, and not have to worry about screwing and unscreing all the wires... This also allowd me to put a few drops of soder on the crossover to keep the wires from jiggling loose...

Ok, wen't a little off the XM subject... If anyone is thinking of getting XM, please tell me, so you can use me as a refernce.. I can get a free hat w/ 1 - 2 references!!!
