   The word "carve" conjures up an image of a  guy with a chainsaw! 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 .
