Hello everyone, I just purchased a 2000 challenger 1800 with the 210 merc. The engine starts and runs great, but the bulge pump, lights, radio etc don't work. I cheched all the fuses I could find and all were fine, im thinking it may be a ground wire but I have no idea where that would be. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Well, I have only had mine a year and it is new, so I havent done mods. But if you dont get an answer, start another thread under the "How To" section.

Adding speakers is very easy. For small speakers like 6.5's use a 5" hole saw on a corded drill. Very easy and will take a few minutes. You can get a hole saw kit at harbor freight for under 10 bucks. Here is a pic of my install.

That looks great! Thanks for the tip

What size is that subwoofer you have mounted in the back there? Im thinking of installing one but am unsure of how much mounting depth I have to work with. Also where did you put the amp for it? Thinking I would put the sub on the port side in front of the passenger seat close to the floor
