[DML] Re: Radio Upgrade

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The lighter is slightly larger than the normal American lighter 
outlet. You can get a small adapter ring at cellphone places (maybe 
Radio Shack) to make it fit tighter and keep contact. Sort of. You 
might be better off mounting another aftermarket outlet hidden under 
the dash. 

There are no longer very many aftermarket radios that will fit in the 
space in the dash unless you cut the dash. I believe DMC Houston 
still sells a replacment dash that's already cut, or you can just cut 
the one you have. I'm sure others will fill in more here - I'm not 
much of a stereo nut. 

Lots of people have put amps in the car. Some in that compartment you 
mention, some on the back deck, some in the trunk. Depends on how 
loud you need it. You'll find that the original speakers are the 
biggest limitation of the system as installed in the car.
