Hello everyone! I'm new here and I have some questions regarding the replacement of my stock stereo. It's not the McIntosh stereo and it also had the 9 speaker set up with the bass in the rear passenger side.
My questions are:
- Are there any wiring concerns that I need to be aware of when installing such as security, climate control, ignition, or anything if were to do this myself? I am looking into Crutchfield for the guide and the harness with the pre wiring service to help with this. I also am not against simply going to business with a car stereo install service for peace of mind. That being said, I'd like to save some cash.
- Regarding the bass speaker in the rear; from my understanding, this will not work with any aftermarket stereo because it requires a separate hook up that doesn't come with any stereo. I believe this system mainly works on 4 outputs, each output split between the tweeter and the door speaker. Is this something that's going to make my system sound awful and would I need an amp and sub to fill out the sound? Or would just replacing the rest of the speakers be a better bet? My speakers are actually in really good shape and once again, I'd like to get away with spending less.
- Some people have had issues with the trim size. Are there any stereos that would have a better fit with less risk of modifications?
If anyone has any experience with my model and trim, I'll appreciate any help. I can provide more info/pics if necessary.
