New Head Unit
Alright I'm putting a new Alpine head unit and Subwoofers into my car and I'm starting to get frustrated with the installation of the head unit, does anyone else that have replaced their head units have some tips? Its starting to get on my nerves.

You need to kind of wiggle your harness to the left, right, or below the head unit itself. It can't be directly behind it or it won't fit. I've changed out my headunit a good number of times between two cars (most recently about a week ago in a gas station parking lot  ). I usually find a hole on the left side, push the harness over into it, and slide the HU straight back.  It's just a matter of messing with it. You'll get it.

you should just be able to push the headunit back and have space for the wiring harness to go behind it.

Don't give up. You can do it. Just don't break it.
