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

also guys what is the original size and make of the front speakers? is it toyota own brand 6.5"?

is it worth getting new speakers?

is infinite a better brand than Alpine series S?

I am looking at getting the infinite with a seperate tweeter speaker

Origonal size is a 6.5 in an 8" frame. Read this for a purdy how-to:
