finally have tunes in my car!

March 25, 2005, 02:36:41 PM

Just got my cd player in the 'Bird, had to have some stuff re-soldered on the board, caused the left front audio output to fail...
Anyway, got on of them mounting kits from Sprawl-Mart, mounted the radio, but I had to run a wire to a metal brace in the dash, as the factor radio harness wouldn't ground the radio...(I also used those quick connect harness thingies-didn't want to cut up any wires...)
Works great now, just need to run beeg power cables for my amps, and put in new speakers all around, and run wires to the doors for them speakers, as well.
Thinkin' I'll probably put Pioneer speakers in all around, I don't have a ton of money to spend on stereo stuff, and I really need new shocks and struts, just waitin' on a bit warmer weather to put em' in.

yep, that's how I was planning on setting it up...
I've got a big lgacy 4 channel bridged into 2 channels going to my bandpass box, and I was going to run another 500 watt or so amp that I've laying around with the front outs going to the doors, and the rears going to the deck speakers, with just a decent set of highs in the dash, with no amp.
I don't need a competition system, just something that sounds good to a music nut that jams everything from metal to blues...
