I've installed dozens of systems in the U series Yamaha verticals --Well maybe one dozen. I cut a V shaped notch with a fine fret saw then round out the bottom of the "V" with a rat tail file-rasp on the top -middle of the lower front panel. Two minutes tops. This is entirely unnoticable and I never ask permission . Tom Driscoll
