What's your budget -ish on HU?

And do not use the capacitor. Will not help you. Sell it on craigslist and put the money toward your HU //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here's the traditional reference for capacitors. Read (even if just near the bottom) and you will be enlightened //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Welcome to the forum!

thats a pretty good buy for 300, but id ditch the cap. youll get bashed on here for that.

 

[JackH 10+ year member]

Thanks for the heads up. I mean its like $2300 dollars worth of stuff. for $300. so i was happy. And im looking to spend like 200-300$ maybe less?

 

[Heeltoeclutch 10+ year member]

You can get something very good for that. Single or Double DIN?

See this is when it comes into me being a "noobie" (;

Double din is like 4 inches tall, single is like 2 inches tall. what kind of car and how big is the stereo opening?

 

[Heeltoeclutch 10+ year member]

oh lol. what car do you have? DIN is the standard stereo size; a lot of cars have a double DIN unit:

Here's an example single DIN, and

Here's a double DIN I would get for that price.

lol not necessarily the single DIN I'd get, just a reference for size //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[JackH 10+ year member]

Its an old 1988 Ford taurus that I'm fixing up(only 26k miles on it Rofl). I'm pretty sure it can fit the double din.

Go here and it will tell you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Its Standard with a single DIN (I think)

 

[Heeltoeclutch 10+ year member]

Might be ISO-DIN (like 1.5 DIN) in which case you'll use an install kit and get a cute little pocket probably. I dunno loads about the recent single DINs, been doing my research on Doubles //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif with that budget you can get a very nice single din though. I will allow others who know more to intervene //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 

[JackH 10+ year member]

Well I'll prob. get some one to install it. So ill just pay them to get the kit. Still amazed i got the system for that cheap though. Sounded great in his car. No ware, coils are great.
