[QUOTE="Italiano86, post: 2648793, member: 574011"] Hey guys. I'm a total n00b with car audio, so please forgive my ignorance ahead of time. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] I work at BB so I get a nice discount on car audio, except for the installation itself, it's only like 20% off now cuz they are lame. So basically I want to setup the stereo in my car on my own to save money. They would charge me about 100 just to put the deck and woofer in, am I better off just having them do that much or is it risky for me to try? I drive a 91 volvo 240 and the speakers in it right now are pretty much blown. I was looking at the following parts to replace for the system: 1. Alpine 50w x 4 CDA-4856 Deck 2. Alpine Type-S 5.25' speakers or 3. Infinity Reference 5012i 5.25' speakers 4. Kenwood KSC-WD250T 10' Woofer with built in 200w amp That's what I've been looking to buy. Only getting them at BestBuy because I get a discount, so anything else you guys recommend I would like to hear. I can only mount 5.25' speakers in the front, so I'm sticking with that sort of basic setup. I'm willing to spend like 450 max with my discount, so you could probably add like 250 to that for regular price. Basically, the sub/amp will be going into the trunk, so I was wondering what would be the easiest way to route the wires to the front deck. Do I really only need to get the wires to the front, connect them right and I'm all set for the woofer? When putting the deck in I suppose it's pretty straight forward, just hook up the right color wires to each other. I will need new speaker wire for the 2 front speakers, so what size would you guys recommend for this type of setup? Also, I saw that the deck takes rca cables, what would these be used for? Will I need a new wiring harness or bracket for the deck at all? There is an aftermarket deck in the car right now but it's cheap. So basically I have no clue where to begin with the installation as far as routing the sub to the deck from the trunk and if I will need anything else at all. I don't need a whole lot of beat which is why what I'm looking for is so basic, I just need something newer. Any help you guys could give me I would appreciate, since doing this myself will save me some money. Thanks [/QUOTE]
