    Harness for vintage Kenwood KRC-X657, or map of plug?

    Pulled a Kenwood KRC-X657 out of storage - purchased by me new in 99, and only installed in a vehicle a year or so before being pulled; wouldn't mind installing it in the wife's mini-van, but, alas, I can't seem to locate the wiring harness... Can't seem to find one online for purchase. It's a...

    wiring id an Alpine cassette unit - no ground?

    The bowlplunkt in the ole' Benz took a dump, and I have an old Alpine 7162 dual-shaft cassette unit sitting here... The question: the speaker wires are all marked (for the most part), and the red and yellow wires are no brainers. The only other wire is tan/brown, and is marked 'power amp'...

    Difference: Alpine CDA-9813 vs CDA-9815?

    I'm planning on snagging one of these two for my 82 MB 300TD. I've scanned the specs several times, and not catching the difference between the two. ? One thing I'm hoping one or both have is a display dimmer - the dash lights in the Benz are very mild - I don't want some bright flashy thing...

    Scored one cheap today - have not benched it yet, but hope to tomorrow morning. Should fit well in the wifes 81 300SD. So, can anyone tell me the rated RMS output? Are these old (84'-85') decks good ones? No RCA outs - is driving an amp with speaker leads going to give me good sound? Thanks...

    Compare 6x9 by brand - want smooth yet dynamic...

    This became slightly wordy - forgive me... I'm setting up a basic system in our 82' MB 300TD wagon. There is no 'good' place for amps or speakers, so I'm building a single movable unit (which will house 2 6x9 speakers, and an amp) to place atop the rear seats when 'folded up' - they mostly live...

    Help find the right unit for me!

    Well, OK, the truth: I'm 42, don't give a shit about graphics, but I am an audiophile, and professional musician, so... I'm looking to spend in the $150 to $250 range (think e-bay volume discount) for a dash unit for my 82' Mercedes 300TD Turbo Wagon. Single cd/cdr fine - sub controls - easily...
