Thanks man 
To connect the sound, I used a simple stereo 3.5mm to RCA cable (it goes from my soundcard to my amps).
To get the right power off of the very jumpy 10-14v car power supply, you need to buy a decent power supply that is meant for your car. You can see the different ones in the mp3car.com store. I have the Carnetix 1900 paired with the Carnetix 3v add on. This gives me the many different voltage outputs that I required for the components.

The Sven4 works great (when you have the stock amp and speakers). But once you upgrade your system, then it's no longer needed.
A lot of people seem to like their M2's...so you should be good to go. Good luck buddy!

Thanks guys!
Rich does a fantastic job on those bezels! I got to see one at one of our Atlanta meets last year. I could see that it is well worth the money. You'll have to post pics when you get it all in.

BimmaDrew: I note that you connected a pulsed signal into your Carnetix for remote-activated power. Which wire did you tap?

I connected it to one of the wires connected to the rear tail lights. I don't remember which one, but I tested it to see what it did and it was the one that goes to a positive 5v for about a second when I unlock my car with my remote. I hasn't failed me yet!

Thanks. I considered that, but was concerned that depressing the brakes during startup might interfere with it. I guess not. Anyway, I just found out that the fuel door harness also provides a 12v pulse when disarming.

Yeah, I had my worries too since it said there was a short time-frame that the voltage could be positive for the signal to work. So I tested the line with the lights on and it was still nothing unless I unlocked the doors. And don't worry, because the voltage on the line is only when you unlock the doors...not when you open the trunk or lock the doors (those are seprate lines).
