Where do I learn how to do it myself? Also, any opinion on an iPod headunit?

Question: what's the best iPod headunit, in your humble opinions? I'd like to get one with a CD player, so I think that is ruling out the iDA-X001. Also, can anyone point me to a website where I can learn to install headunits, speakers, and amps myself. Otherwise, I will get ***** by the...

Yeah, you're right. I'll bite the bullet and just learn how to install stuff myself. What do people think of the Alpine iDA-X001 for an iPod headunit? That thing is awfully sweet looking. Is it overkill? Maybe I can spend more than $600 if I do it myself. Might as well do it right if I'm...

I would definitely need some advice on EXACTLY what to do. I probably won't be installing the stuff myself, so any advice on that would be helpful as well. I am at your mercy.

Guys, good to be here. I know absolutely nothing about car audio. I have some questions for you guys. I recently bought a '99 4Runner Limited. The factory stereo sucks. I believe it has a 6 speaker sound system. I want to put in a new stereo with iPod connectivity. I'd rather not put a...
