Next weekend I am planning to put in a new stereo system in my 93 940 sedan. I have a Kenwood Excelon 579 HU coming from Crutchfield, Kicker 5.25 component speakers for the front doors, Kenwood 6x9s for the rear deck, two amps to go in the trunk along with a Sat radio tuner and antenna. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I am sure there are many Bricksters out there who have done this already. My questions:

- Where did you enter the firewall with your powerwire?
- How did you run your wires and cables to the truck? In my 240, I found a channel under the carpet which went along the floor then up over the wheel wheels into the trunk. Don't know if the 940 in similar.
- Any good recommendations for grounding points in the trunk?
- Any recommendations for mounting the amps? I am thinking of attaching the amps to two thin pieces of board covered in matching grey carpet or felt, then attaching the boards to the back wall of the trunk on both sides of the pass through hole. This would allow my single 10' subwoofer to sit in-between.
- Any recommendations or hints for success for installing the speakers? I thought I'd use the dash speaker holes for the tweeters. Any problems removing door or rear deck speakers?

Any and all suggestions and recommendations greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
