Thread: Yes, another Head Unit question.

My current car had major surgery to get a Sony head unit working great but I want an easy route if poss.

depends on if you want to keep the steering wheel controls and amps. with mine i bought an alpine unit with front usb and just did a new install with new wiring, as for the door amps i cut them out and run all the door speakers into 2 wires which run to the head unit front speaker output, same for the rear doors to rear output. ditched the std sub and put in an alpine 4 channel amp running 4 350watt 6x9's in a box behind the rear seat. if you crank it you can hear it clearly from more than 100 meters away, just dont try sit in the car at that level >_<.
