Installing new HU tomorrow. Never done this.

Post by colterk »

My previous ride had a total sound system in it, so I'm not new to that but I installed nothing of the 2500$ worth of parts. Tomorrow morning before I work I am going to attempt to install a new head unit. I am not even going to attempt to get the rest of the system in. Plus I need to figure what I am going to do about the sub. Still looking for the rear panel enclosure. Either way wish me luck. And any tips would be appreciated. =) I'll post pics.

There was a wonderful guide floating around the boards, let me see if I can find it...

The only advice I have for you is to take your time, and if you plan on putting speakers in, BE VERY CAREFUL as the wiring for power windows/power locks run through the doors, and it's quite easy to stick a drill bit/screw in them, which would be very bad.

Oh, and have fun!
