New stereo installed

Installed a new stereo the other day. I installed a Kenwood DPX502BT. When I bought the car it had a Subaru 6 disc stereo in it. I upgraded the speakers before I installed the stereo to JBL GX series but still wasn't happy with the sound. The new head unit made a huge difference and it now sounds awesome.

I clipped it on the instrument cluster right in front of the steering wheel.

Re: New stereo installed

Looks good. I take it the Kenwood's knob doesn't interfere with the SVX's stereo door?

Did your SVX have one of my SVX-to-14 pin adapter harnesses for the Subaru 6-CD HU you removed?

What did you do for the harness for the Kenwood?

The knob doesn't interfere with the door and I believe the harness was one of yours. It had been spliced together so I'm guessing it was cut at one point and then put back together. I just removed the splices and installed bullet connectors.

Re: New stereo installed

This looks bad-ass! I hope to have one of these someday.
