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?

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

We have a factory amplifier under the center of the dash (infront of the shifter, under the ac controls) that cannot be hooked up using the scorche harness. IDK if someone made one to go thru our factory amp (witch'd be gay & make the audio sound like sh!t) but the direct speaker out harness has to be connected to the aftermarket head unit itself. (provided that you've got atleast 45w / 4chan out laugh.gif )
