Best install kit and harness adapter?

April 20, 2014, 06:34:37 PM

Hi there.

I'm looking at installing a Pioneer head unit into my '88 T-bird Sport. I'm looking at installing a Pioneer single DIN CD player, and would like to know what you guys would recommend as far as dash install kits, and harness adapters.

I'm new to the Ford world, so I just want to be sure I'm on the right path.

Thanks.

If you don't have preimium sound, i wouldn't bother with a harness unless yoy might want to go back to stock.i also.don't.care for.the din adaptars. i just reuse the stock brackets and space it out how i see fit.

the only harnes ones I've ever used i got at my local walmart. just make sure its the kit with or without premium sound and you should be golden.

That sounds good. I thought our Ford head units were right around single din anyway. Looks like I just need the non-premium harness. I like using the harness since I can just wire everything up on the work bench and then just plug and play.

Thanks for the advice.

If you are going to upgrade the speakers then I would strongly suggest you run new 16 ga speaker wire to them from the deck as the stock wiring is about 22 ga and it hampers the sound.
