Do it myself

[janiter]

Is it realistic for me to think that I could install a new deck, speakers, amplifier, and a couple subs with their box by myself? I'm pretty new to car audio but I would be reading online tutorials and what not...or do you think i'm just in way over my head?

It's a 1995 toyota tacoma, i'm most concerned about wiring the amplifier as well as taking the back seat out and putting a box in there

if the tard I bought my tacoma off of could figure out how to remove the rear seat, you can. Hooking up an amp is a pretty simple with an infinite amount of documentation on the net.

If you take good advice for what it is and don't argue with the people helping you like a bunch of people on here, it's not hard to set stuff up.

there's a learning curve, but once you've done a couple installs you can get pretty decent at it.

as long as you know how to use tools and take your time you should be ok. ive installed everything myself( except for the alarm the first time) and with a little googling you can find all the info you need.

if you dont like searching and want a book there are 2 oldies that cover the basics well. The car stereo cook book and Auto Radio: Choosing, Installing, Maintaining and Repairing Car Stereo Systems. Much of the equipment and such are outdated but the basics are covered good. I have the cscb somewhere.

been about 5 years since this site has seen good advice anywhere near car audio related applications!
