do a search and there are many people who have had the same problem with the sunroof drains. just a friendly FYI for those with a lot of $$ in their trunk.....check the tubes for the sunroof and make sure they are seated in good and no clogs!! you dont wanna be like me and have to re-do the whole thing after paying close to a grand for an install.

i guess u don't know much about audio systems.
the ground wire does not run any electricity, it won't "catch on fire". 99% of systems do drill a hole for the ground wire, there are smart places to drill it and stupid places. ur installer picked a stupid place. you should have watch the install processes. also the leaks that were not caused by ur audio installers are big problems as well, those u should take care of.. its ur fault for not fixing it in the first place.
also go back to the install place and tell them what happened if u haven't done so yet.

as for the catch on fire i was speaking of the water being in there with 1500 watts RMS running through the trunk with the amp sitting in standing water. sorry i work a full time job and could not watch the install, if i had that ammount of free time i would have done it myself in the first place

wasn't arguing. just stating my points. if u know how to do it urself and u love ur car, why would you let anyone else touch it? i know u work, but i doubt u work 7 days a week for 52 weeks 365 (366 this year) a year.... you have time off, put ur love and heart into doing it urself.
u save money, feel better, and know its done right... and if u eff up u can only blame urself.

Now if you wanna get crazy w/it, you can add a custom powered by remote game system that slides out of the sub box:

Here's some off my custom audio/video, only pics of the component speakers and headrest monitors but soon to have 12 inch L7 with Alpine 850W RMS Amp and 4-Channel for Highs.
Here's my tweeter install myself. I like it much better than surface mounting the tweeters on the triangle plastic panel. (Alpine Type-R 6.5in Compnent) All I did was take a 2 inch hole-saw and some hot glue and shabam!
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/motoxrider295/IMG_0536.jpg)
These are my 7inch headrest monitors made by invision, both have individual DVD players but I have them hooked to an xbox under the passenger seat.
