Okay I keep hearing I need more and more stuff for when I get my H/U... I Know I want to run my cables for when I get Subs I don't have to take apart the dash again... But what all do I need and How much does it cost? Like that lil bracket thing that you have to put your H/U in to fit the car? and RCA cables and what else???

All you really need is patients and a Dash kit for our car.. both Scoche and Metra make these kits..should retail for about $15-20 at most shops..

..you could get a wiring harness so that you don't have to cut into any factory wiring..but that's not necessary..

-dash kit: $15
-harness: $15(like mohawk said its not necessary, i highly recommend it tho)
-RCA cables: mine was $30(monster cable), i should have just gotten some cheap ones, sure you could find it for $5
-turn on wire: tells the amp when to turn on/off. not sure how much. depending on the amp you might not even need this cause some amps turn on/off by getting signals from the RCA cables. also you dont really NEED rca cables either. some amps have speaker level inputs, or if it doesnt you could use a PAC converter?(something like that)

if i were in your shoes i would just get the dash kit and harness first. then get whatever you need when you get the amp. taking apart the dash doesn't take hours, maybe like 15 mins or so the most.

The info you 2 have given me was very helpful.. yeah I was just going to get RCA cables and all that and run them because I thought it was a pain in the *** to take apart the dash.. And it will prolly be a month or 2 before I get my Subs and Amp ! Thanks alot Guys! Oh one more ? would I beable to get that Harness at BestBuy or local Stereo store or will I have to order it offline?

ya you could find it at best buy, got mine at circuit city

if you do decide to hook up the RCA cables now then dont forget the turn on wire

Dade gum.. I need a Turn on switch too? Theres alot I have to learn... well Its like I dont have much money right now and especially after I buy that H/U thats why I was gonna wait to run the RCA cables and what not.. But I've heard from some people that its bad to keep messing with your H/U like taking it out and puting it in? is this true? can I really mess it up just by taking it out again to hook up the cables?

<< But I've heard from some people that its bad to keep messing with your H/U like taking it out and puting it in >>



who told you that? you could take out your headunit 100 times and it wont mess it up. well unless if your careless and scratch it everytime you take it out or something, but other then that it really wouldn't break. so ya i would just wait till i get the amp and then get what i need. the turn on wire will probably come with the amp wiring kit, if you get on that is...
