blawson Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 so how do i go about it do i go to the car audio section in best buy, do i need to know how many main speakers and how many tweeters and go about it that way or is there just packages they sell there that work for any car Crutchfield's web site is *excellent* for finding out what will fit in your car. If you wind up buying from them, they usually throw in mounting kits for head units over $100, and often have good sales, and they have a decent amazon-style customer review system. I bought a head unit from them after going to tweeter and BB to get my hands on the options. I brought a couple of CDs that would represent what I wanted to play, including CD-R copies of CDs and CD-Rs with mp3s on them. I quickly noticed some things about various units that I didnt like, for instance many would take 10 seconds to read an mp3 cd every time you switched back and forth between the CD and the radio. I got an Alpine and couldn't be happier. you probably have 6.5" front speakers and 6x9 ovals in the back, but I don't know what your exact car is. You can probably replace the factory head unit with another that will control the changer, but be sure to check that they are compatible. your best bang for the buck will probably be to get a nice head unit with decent power, or if you're happy with the stock stereo, get middle of the road speakers. decide now if you will want a component amp, ipod control, etc., so that you don't have to buy twice if you want something "better" later. this one looks like a kick ass deal: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-SlybPtuwZWd/c...amp;I=500DVA986 this one is a little cheaper: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-SlybPtuwZWd/c...mp;I=500CDA9883 -B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Is your CD changer in your trunk or in dash or below the dash in that compartment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcordGuy6742 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Is your CD changer in your trunk or in dash or below the dash in that compartment? its not in the trunk im not sure about the other two, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Because each is wired differently. If you had one "in dash" you would just need to add a din like this: If its where the second stereo is in that picture, I think it already uses a 2nd din, so you could just change the stereo. I'm 99% sure an in-trunk CD changer requires a stock head unit though, because it probably uses a specific 7-pin connection or whatever it takes that won't work in any aftermarket headunit. If you get a pioneer though, I could give you a good deal on a pioneer 6 disc or 12 disc I have laying around that need the cord, but can be connected to any Pioneer system ready for a changer.
