Default Show me your after market stereo

Hi. Going to replace my head unit with an aftermarket stereo tomorrow. Not sure how a single din receiver would look. Post your pics and type of stereo. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks everyone.

Yep - i had the stock non-infinity system and it sucked donkey balls. ALL of my speakers are wired and run through the amp and the amp gets audio via RCA cables from the Alpine HU.

* 12" Kicker SUB
* Kenwood 1000W amp for Kicker Sub
* Eclipses 6.5 all the way around
* Sony 800W 4chan amp for Eclipse speakers
* Farad Cap

Did you install the very expensive wire harness module. Or just the wire harness and tap off an auxiliary wire?

YEP!


Im fine with doing it this way, most aren't. It's just wiring really and i didn't want to buy the pricey harness when i obviously didn't even need that sucker!

This is what i DID have until a few months ago.





I have a box 1/3rd that size with a single 12" kicker. Sounds great and i have almost all of my trunk space back for coolers full of beer and drugs and dead hookers and all my fishing gear and other assorted manly things etc.
