hi,
I am looking into installing a new head unit and 6" front speakers into the doors at the front. I have the original toyota cassette player and speakers but do not like it. is it easy to swap this system and put in a Sony DAB stero and infinity componant speakers? http://shop.audioimages.co.uk/sony-cdx-dab...rol-p-1049.html http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-...0cs_p-22418.htm Could a novice like myself do this? Does it require expert installation? Do I need to mess around with any of the car's electrical systems eg affecting the fuse box etc? sorry i dont know much about cars! thanks |

It's pretty easy, I did the exact same thing and I'm a noob as well. I ordered my stuff from Crutchfield.com, so it came with specific instructions, but I'm sure whatever you're getting does too, and if not, you can get the how-to here.
The only way that the speakers will drop in is to order adapters, unless you want to make your own. http://cgi.ebay.com/6-Front-Speaker-Adapte...1742.m153.l1262 These are the ones you need, and everything should just fit right in. Like samir said, you'll need harness for both speakers and the head unit. |
