Stereo?
I have never taken so long to uninstall a cd deck and install a new one in my life.
total time=3.5 hours. went from stock cd/tape to a high performance clarion deck. for first 15 or so mins, i just sat there looking at it going. what in the hell do i do... finally found this site http://www.geocities.com/svxdc/AudioInstall-2.htm this was a blessing. haha made it pretty simple. just had a bit of a issue with getting all the mass amounts of wires to fit behind it all. Deck has about 10 RCA jacks coming out (siruis radio, mp3 plugin, amp/sub out and so on) plus a bunch of other stuff. needless to say, i dont ever plan to take that deck out... i think i made up a pretty cool setup though, ill post pictures tomorrow.

Yeah lol I had mine professionally installed because I looked at that tutorial and told myself **** that. Today though I'm pulling it out to hook up an amp and sub.

I've had like 4 different cd players in my car, and helped 3 members install cd players in their own. With the custom wiring adapter, I can install a cd player in about 15 minutes, if I have to splice the wiring using the color chart it takes me about 45.

yeah, the tutorial really helped. and i had to cut both the deck harness and the car wiring harness, and sauter them all (had no good connectors around) then heatwrap them.
im going to wire sub/amp stuff today. Anyone got any good idea where to breach the firewall to get to battery for Amp power?

i ran my amp wire threw the left inner fenderwell.there is a grommet hole by the battery with a lot of wires running into it. i ran the power wire threw this, into the fender, and near the door there is a tiny grommet hole that a yellow loomed wire goes into. i can fita 4 gauge but that is the biggest i can fit. you will then have to fish the wire from inside the car behind the kick panel then you can run it under the carpet to the trunk.

I also ran my 4 gauge amplifier power wire through the large grommet in the firewall. It worked great and looks good too. I'm planning on running another 4 gauge wire through there next week.

Hi Strife, do you now have a CD player for sale?
HAHAHA, pm me if so! |

stock cd player/tape deck configuration?
or another cd player? i've got like, 4 other ones kicking around. i used that large gromit above the gas pedal as well, little tricky to get at with a very dislocate-y shoulder though. the only crappy thing now is, my sub is rattling the trunk like mad. i had to squeeze the sub box in so now every things all tight, so it rattles on the outside. sounds awesome on inside though!
