Where is the cheapest place to get a dash kit and wire harness for our cars, ill probaly be getting an alpine 9831 soon,so i believe this is all i need to install it, or is there something else?

don't know - but the common practice seems to be that kits are always a bit up there in price.....crutchfield includes everything free when you buy from them, but you're not in that situation...

Just hit up your local shop..
our shop sells both the kit and the wiring harness for $25 (for our cars.. the price varies depending on the vehicle)

yea i see that about crutchield but for the desk i want i can still get it at 265 with shipping and buying everything i need its still cheaper

Most places average about 15 for the dash kit and between 5 and 10 on the wiring harness. Just shop somewhere that throws it in for free.

I forgot model numbers but be advised, one kit for our cars has the pocket built in and the pocket is a lttle smaller than the stock one. Another, allows you to reuse your stock pocket.

reuse the stock pocket with the flip down cover, or no?

Metra has a kit where you can reuse the stock pocket (with door), as does american international. I don't have their model numbers handy, or i'd provide them. You do know a lot of online places price match right? Use the ikesound price and match it somewhere that throws the harness and dash kit in.

no i didnt know a lot of sites pricematch cause if crutchfiueld does then i will buy off them or tell my parents to buy of them cause they give you instructions and dash kit and harness and all that

You shouldn't need the master sheet, as there is a DIY on here, as well as a scan of their mastersheet. I don't know if crutchfield will pricematch, but sound domain does, and so do several other places (this was the first that came to mind).

actually i found this site http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Alpine_A...s?PG=1&Z=93109 , that shows the lowest shipped is about 302.95 i think it was so still way cheaper , but just means i have to go around town looking for the harness and dash kit, yea i read the diy for it thats why i wanted to do it myself, i was just saying that it was an extra thing they through in there free of charge where no one else does

they emailed me back saying its because of there great customer service and the fact they dont charge tax shipping and give you the harness and dash kit and give you the knowledge of installing it yourself and technical support and all of htat jazz is why they are so expenisve or expensive compared ot other dealers

yea i know sounddomain.com has dash kits and harness, but what is the difference between companies, are some really better fitting then others , as well as better quality or what?
