Ready to Install

Post by JET30X »

hey people,

so ive bought all my equipment ready for the stero system install.

i already had my pioneer headdeck and my pioneer 10"sub in a box ready to go.
got paid today :wink: so travelled down and to the auto shop and bought
a pair of 6" 3way 280W kenwood speakers to put into the front doors,
and a small 400w kenwood amp to run the sub.

not going to put rear speakers in as basically i cbf'd lol i mite put them in later but im hopeful that the
sub will be loud enough in the back.

anways i shud have it installed in about 2 weeks, my mate that is going to help me (im noob) has exams so
once they are ova ill post up some pix :love:

cheers

ps. is there anything nasty i really need to watch out for when isntalling the headdeck etc? ive got all the cabling/fuses etc for everything

Get a harness adapter from an audio shop (if the car still has the OEM headunit), this will make installation plug n play, you can even get specialised ones for your headunit too

getting the OEM headunit out can be nasty, i got some special tools with my new headunit, basically they are thin strips of metal you slide in either side to push in the clips that hold it in place.

make sure you anchor the sub-box securely, i made up a bracket that attached to the rear seat backrest bolts.

good luck

cheers aston,
yeah i picked up the sleeving thing to fill the gap from the OEM unit. hopefully it shudnt cause 2 much dramas.
i was looking in the boot and i noticed those backseat brackets so ill probably do the same, ill definately secure it no way will i leave it just sitting there.
