Stereo upgrade project
OK. Finally getting around to installing the stereo in my '92. I found a guy on Craigs List that will help with the install. I am hoping this works out. I met him to discuss the options and he seemed knowledgeable.
I already installed Alpine speakers (6.5"s in the front (model Alpine SPS - 610) and 6X9's in the rear). The fronts came with a spacer/bracket that replaced the oem bracket perfectly. The rears were a direct replacement. I had hoped to reuse the stock brackets in the front, but the speakers were just a tad too large as described in other threads. I lucked out that spacer/brackets came with the speaker in the box. The 3 holes lined up perfectly with the holes in the door. I also installed a new OEM antenna. Everything else is original. HU is dark at night and not enough to power the new speakers. I bought the harness that is discussed on this forum. I sent about $700 to Crutchfield and received the following goodies:   This will go in the corner of the trunk.    It's all going in here.  I will let you know how it goes.

Re: Stereo upgrade project
Good luck with the install. Just curious but why did you need a guy from Craigslist?

Re: Stereo upgrade project
How is your alternator doing? Is it the original 95A unit?
If not, the 160A high- output units for the SVX from Maniac Electric Motors is a very wise investment. http://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/hiou160ampal6.html .

Re: Stereo upgrade project
Status of project.
Everything turned out great. I will post pictures soon. Now I am legal talking on the phone and it is so nice with HD radio and blue tooth audio. Huge improvement. I am in the 21st century, finally. PS no real electrical issues (yet) such as dimming at idle. Last edited by SUPER; 03-09-2013 at 09:41 AM.
