I've got a 66 Impala. Big Car. Lots of places to put the speakers. I was thinking under the front seats in seperate boxes and actually cutting into the back behind the rear seats and putting speakers in under the rear window.

My question is rather technical i suppose. Sure you can power up the cd player and all but I remember when i installed the same cd player in my '99 Hyundai Accent that the cd player Pioneer 5500 (whatever the cd-mp3 file reader model was) had a wire labelled "Illumination" or something like it that meant it controlled how bright the face was with the rest of the interior lights, my question is this. How can I wire that up to my dimmer switch in (or would I even want to since the lights are so dim in my car anyways) ?

If i left the illumination wire unconnected will it just display one level of brightness (i.e. the brightest or normal setting?). If i can do it without having to worry about the illumination, i'd have wired the cd player up into that car a while back.

Problem driving fast: It feels like i'm fighting the wind all the time once I hit 55 and above, my friend tells me i'm not swerving or anything but you can really feel the wind pushing my car around and i have to "fight my suspension" as my friend put it. What's going on here? I'd like to have a smooth ride.
