[QUOTE="FlexnInLa, post: 6950636, member: 624319"] As you can see from my user name, I'm not real popular around here. Somebody changed it for me, obviously I'm not a FagDouche. When people tell you to DIY just keep in mind the things I've told you, and if the risk is worth it go for it. If you replace the head unit, in a lot of vehicles you need a "box" that performs the functions that the stock head unit did. These functions vary from car to car and could be something as simple as a chime when a door is open, or something more crucial to the operation of the car as I understand it. Radios are more than radios these days. Installing and wiring speakers isn't a big deal at all, and I'd have no problem doing that myself if they were drop in and go. Maybe get a pro to do the headunit and do the speakers yourself if you are getting stock sized replacements and not trying to go with anything super custom. I've done it in guitar and bass cabinets countless times, and used to do it when cars weren't computerized to hell and back. I like something a little more custom, so I generally let my buddy handle it. He can do door pods, pillar pods, etc. that I could never dream of doing. [/QUOTE]
