Reinstalling CDR220

[Bala]

Looking-for-answers bump!

Questions:

1. How do you secure the amp to the body? The bottom sits on the 2 clip mount just above the spare but where the top two go the holes are empty. Suspecting PO took it out. Does it have one of those rubber mounts that you screw into? Where can I get them as my pollen filter top cover also needs one.

2. Where does the antenna connect to? Looks like a wire needs to be put around the circular bolt in the back. Couldn't see any wire though.

Thanks.

There is an adaptor plate that the stock amp attaches to. The metal adaptor plate slides into the two mounts just above the spare. There are two tabs on top of the adaptor plate that are bent 90 degrees towards the back of the car. A bolt goes into each tab that hold it to the fire wall. There are rubber covered nuts, sort of an anti-shock mount, that these bolts go into. I got new rubber nuts from the stealership $10.00 each. Be careful and don't over tighten the bolts that go into these nuts, go easy.

The thumping you hear from the door speakers is one of the main reasons people swap out the Becker head unit. There is a crossover in the Becker unit and this thumping is the stock sound.

If the aftermarket speakers look stock, then I wouldn't go through the effort of swapping them back to stock, but that is just my opinion.
