A lot of good advice here guys. I do consider myself a novice when it comes to electrical work, but this is simple stuff. As CBO mentioned, i think one of the most important things is, don't lose your temper, and as MV said, take your time. I gave it 4.5 hours yesterday and eliminated a ton of wire. As i said, i'm no electrican but its already 100% better then it was, and the worst i had to deal with (gonna hurt you guys here) was sweating my butt off as it was close to 80 and lets face it, trying to get two hands inside my super console ain't easy. I'm going to re-wire the reds to be hot, and black to be ground for certain systems, and will probably use a different color cfor the hot line on my other systems. I had to laugh, the previous owner mentioned the bow lights didn't work and while i had the floor panels up to the right and left of the console came across some grey wires that didn't go anywhere. How much you want to bet they go to the bow lights. :p

more pictures later!
