Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to mount everything in a 2000 Jimmy. Thank you sir for all of your input and responses. I definitely feel more confident hooking this stuff up now.
The radio is a Grant XL which I just purchased last month. The amp I have had for about 20 years-ish. I ran it when I had it years ago but I fried the Cobra I was running back then.
