Swapping stereo and EATC positions

[SHO2NV]

For those of you that have done this, I was wondering what kind of a brace you used to secure the stereo up there. Also, I assume I'll have to get an extention for the antenna wire, but will all the other wires reach up there? I'm going to be doing this in the next week or so so any input would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I didn't use any brace for my radio. The cage alone proved sturdy enough to do it. If you're using your factory radio, be prepared to extend the wires.

Good luck on mounting the EATC down below.

Guess I should've mentioned that I'll be putting my Pioneer deck up there. Will that make any difference as far as not needing a brace?

This is one of the most practicall things I have done. I used a bracket that I bought from a Stereo shop that is used to install custom stuff in places where it originally wasn't.. how convinient huh?....
The EATC was a pain in the ass. I had to remove the whole front bracket, which has so many damn bolts on it... after it was removed I drilled two tiny holes on the sides of the EATC(being careful) and I bolted it from the inside of the bracket with two tiny bolts..... I wish I had pictures.... By the way, all wires even antena where long enough for me....
