Replying to: justinrw (Aug 25, 2008 11:04 am) What exactly do you expect of your new head unit? Pioneer has a slick new unit (without the tape player), they also have a new 6-disc in dash unit as well. My question to you would be...how much are you willing to spend??? If you're truly happy with the factory 6-disc changer, I can let you have mine for $50 + s&h. It's been sitting in the box my aftermarket unit came in for the last 2 years. Only problem is...I don't know if it uses the same wiring harness as the base sound system you seem to have. There's plenty of options out there. What color is your dash, tan, black or gray? This is some stuff I've done with my system... Car Audio Upgrades Photo Album |

If you're on a budget and want a nice unit... Kenwood DPX-302 Clarion DUZ385SAT A lil more money, more features... Kenwood DPX-502 JVC KW-XG700 Pioneer FH-P8000BT If music rip capability catches your fancy... Clarion DFX675MC All are nice units capable of giving you all the features you could want.

Replying to: theblackhole (Aug 25, 2008 5:18 pm) I replied to your email and again...thank you very much for the thought, but I am unable to utilize a 4" speaker anymore. The reason...I did an install for someone recently and he had a pair of JBL GTO Series 4x6" speakers in his dash that I replaced with some Infinity Reference 4x6" plate speakers (separate woofer and tweeter). One of the JBL speakers had the surround coming apart from the frame, but the other was was just fine. So...I decided to see if it would work in my dash since it was a 2 ohm speaker. After about 5 minutes with my rotary tool, I cut out the brackets that hold the 4" speaker in, drilled new holes for the 4x6" speaker and...VOILA!!! Here is how it looks without the grille in place...  Here's a pic of the factory speaker...

Replying to: justinrw (Aug 26, 2008 7:00 am) As you see...I too have the tan dash and to me...a black radio just wouldn't look right, thus...I ended up with the Pioneer unit you see in the pics. If I were to go with anything else, it would have to be a double din unit with a screen. There's a few units with screens that are reasonably priced, but no sure how you feel about brand name... Boss Audio BV9055 XO Vision XOD1737 TKO Audio BH-626DD Dual (by Panasonic) XDVD8265 Power Acoustik PTID-7350NBT Jensen VM9022 Panasonic CQ-VW100U Now the key to any of these will be how it opens up. If the face opens by arms sliding out at the bottom causing the face to slide down to reveal the CD/DVD slot...it can work. Like the Panasonic model...  If the face opens by flipping down, you may run into some problems. |

Replying to: theblackhole (Aug 25, 2008 5:18 pm) however for me it's not worth the trouble as far as I'm concerned. I realy do beleive that if anyone can hear an improvement.... it's the placebo effect or under 40 years of age :=) Oh another hint To remove the grill and to protect the dash from any damage I used a 1½" putty knife. I took a 3" putty knife and placed it under the smaller knife that way when you pry the grill off all the pressure is on the larger putty knife and won't dent the dash. best to start on the right side of the grill....... take your time this grill did not want to come off easily

Replying to: hjc1 (Aug 30, 2008 10:07 am) Unfortunarely for me the box arrived from my ebay seller today. I just emailed him and said I didn't open the box, because it's so light there's nothing inside. This ought to be an interesting deal! I'm a 100% feedback ebayer, so if the venorr gives me grief, I'm sure paypal or UPS will work with me. Either way, I was hoping to have them by this past Friday to install 1 of them over the Labor Day weekend. It might be a little longer now... FWIW I replaced the door speakers with Kappa's and added 2 front tweeters as well. The door speakers in front make a big difference, and the tweeters (Infinity Reference) really widen the soundstage. 2006 with infinity premium sound system. Thanks again!

Replying to: hjc1 (Aug 30, 2008 10:07 am) As far as the grille, there's a ring that needs to be removed. A rotary tool or sharp knife and steady hand will make quick work of it. Concerning no improvement in sound quality...I really find that hard to believe considering the component being replaced. Were talking about a paper, single cone speaker being replaced with a two way speaker made of much better materials and much more efficient with the power being supplied to it. I can't tell you what you're supposed to hear as we all hear differently, but I'm quite surprised to read that you didn't notice any improvement in sound quality. Another thing would be if you ever listened to the music loud and hear a song that really made the speakers work and hear the distortion with the OEM speaker, play that same song at the same levels with the new speaker and you'll find that it doesn't distort and won't distort as easily as the OEM speakers. Another thing could be if you are only replacing the center speaker, then you may not notice a difference because you're only changing one speaker out of 5 (excluding tweeters and sub). A more dramatic improvement in sound would be replacing the door speakers. The grille removal, yes...it does require a firm, but gentle hand. The dash is very pliable and will regain it's shape when you're done. Just don't use a jagged, dirty screw driver or putty knife and you'll be okay. Again, I apologize for my oversight, but as you can see...with a tiny bit of effort...it can still work. |
