Here are some pictures of how I mounted the volvo kit for everyone. I'll post more as I get further along in the installation of my stereo.

Hey drytoast. I got the faceplate mounted and some of the wiring done for the new stereo. Apparently it didn't like the factory wiring so I ran new wires for everything. I am also taking the 2 new 6 inch speakers and mounting them in a new headliner. I just have to run wires for them and find more diamond tuck that matches my interior. It is a Sony Xplod system and I also need to get new door speakers as one of the connectors broke off on my passenger door speaker. Then I get to do it again on the wifes F100.
