Got it. Thanks for the help

Ah now I feel dumb. But the manual said nothing about having the unit off nor about holding the control in. Thanks guys

I'm normally pretty good at these things, but this has me stumped. I read the manual and it says: Use the multi-control to select clock set. It says nothing about what to do with the multi-control, just that you have to use it. Every menu I go to just has to do with the source that is playing...

Yeah I just bent the tabs on the sleeve and it's perfect now. I feel dumb now. Thanks guys

I got a dash install kit locally and put it in my truck. I got the unit all wired up and it works fine, but I'm not sure how to secure it in the dash. I put the faceplate on it and slid it in, but it doesn't really click in place. It doesn't want to stay flush, it wiggles around a little bit. Am...

If I want to get a 2 channel amp to power only the 2 front speakers, how would I wire everything? Where would be the best place to put the amp if this is in a pickup truck?

That's true but with the HU you don't have to worry about running wires through the firewall and concealing them. Maybe i just need to find a couple friends to work on it with.

I am confident in my ability to install a headunit and some door speakers, but I am hesitant about trying to install an amp and running the wires. How much would most places charge to install a 4ch amp to power my speakers?

Ok thanks for the help. I believe the rms of the deck is only 14 watts, so that probably doesn't help. I may just install the deck and wait to put in the speakers. Or try them in the back first where I can see if they sound better than stock.

Hmmm ok. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible right now. Both the front and rear speaker sizes are 6x8. If I don't amp the JL speakers will they sound bad even if I don't turn them all the way up? They will still be better than stock, right?

I decided that I wanted better sound in my 95 ford ranger, so I started looking on ebay. I'm not an audiophile by any means, just looking for a little upgrade. So far I have purchased: 1. Pioneer DEH-P3000IB Headunit for $55 2. JL Audio Tr570-cxi 6x8 speakers for $17 Did I get good deals on...

It's $125 new on sonic electronix and that includes mounting kit + harness.

Kinda want a front aux input for an mp3 player but I'll keep that in mind

I'm looking to buy a new head unit. Don't want anything fancy, it must be cheap. Don't want to spend more than $50. Any brand.

I am a complete noob when it comes to car audio. I would like to replace my stock head unit and speakers. Later, I may possibly want to add an amp and a sub. I am on a pretty tight budget, and I dont know which brands are the best and what not. I am not looking for a really expensive super loud...
