[QUOTE="DupeZ, post: 4661076, member: 569624"] Hi guys, i just got a new car after getting rid of my older one. it is an 03 Chevy Malibu. Heres what i have for car audio: ABP10T - Audiobahn dual 10" subs A8000V - 400 RMS mono amp Sony cd/mp3 disc player w/ wiring harness (i think) this sounded great in my last car i would like to put it in my new car. rather than getting it done at best buy like i did last time, i figure it would be cool to do it on my own. i have a basic idea of what to do; i watched a crutchfield video Things i need: Amp kit - last time, the guy at best buy said the one i bought from walmart was a few inches short (my last car was a bonneville, which are long cars), so he hooked me up with a nice rockford fosgate kit for like 80 bucks. unfortunately i couldnt salvage he amp kit. should i pick one up at walmart, or get a kit online? a kit that can handle 400rms is anywhere from 40-80 bucks as ive seen in the stores. i know rockford is probably better than scoche. in dash kit - saw a scoche one at walmart for 10 bucks, will that do the trick? (92' and up GM in dash kit, and listed 03 malibu on the back) i was thinking a DIY project would be cool, unless there are unforseen problems that i may be getting into with my car make/model. i dont want to mess anything up. I read somewhere that someone took their stock radio out and it messed up some electrical stuff with the car. Also with the speakers, i have a pair of rockfords to replace the stock with. i read online that the rear speakers in an 03 malibu were 6x4's. well i was surprised when i took the grill off - they look like 6x9s (which i have from my last car). wat do you guys think? should i give it a shot or just get it done somewhere? i remember i ended up paying nearly 200$ at best buy for everything, including the amp kit (not in dash though, i had that done at a different time)[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
