Trying to figure out how I can run wires from the xm receiver that is under the helm controls to the stereo on the other side on a 2000 43 open tiara.  I would be grateful for anyone that even knows how to access the stereo box, besides pulling out the stereo.  Thinking it might be easier to move the entire stereo to the helm and accessing the amp from there.

I had a 43 open and ran across this same challenge. If I remember correctly the wires can be pulled from the helm though the back side of the electrical cabinet (disconnect AC power for safety) up and over headliner over and down to stereo head unit. Remove the light in the headliner and you should be able to reach in both directions. Again going from memory but I think I pulled the stereo head unit out, tied a chase string to the antenna wire (or speaker wire) , then reached in to the headliner hole (where the light was) pulled the wire until I had the chase string. I then ran the sirius control cable up to the same light hole, taped it to the antenna wire and pulled everything back to the head unit with the chase string. It’s a real tight fit down to the stereo from above the headliner but it can be done. Good luck

Thank you for the reply...I may just move the stereo to the starboard side!!!
