install stereo Options

[rasta]

hi,

I am looking into installing a new head unit and 6" front speakers into the doors at the front.

I have the original toyota cassette player and speakers but do not like it.

is it easy to swap this system and put in a Sony DAB stero and infinity componant speakers?

Could a novice like myself do this? Does it require expert installation? Do I need to mess around with any of the car's electrical systems eg affecting the fuse box etc? sorry i dont know much about cars!

thanks

Hi rasta,

Changing out the head unit is fairly simple. It does not involve anything with the fuses/electrical system. You'll need a wiring harness for your car, what that does is plugs into the car and has wires for you to connect so you do not have to cut the factory wiring harness. Then the radio and harness should come with instructions on how to wire it up, and what color wire corresponds to what function, like speakers, antenna, etc. From that point its just a matter of crimping the wires together and sticking it back into the dash.

here is a detailed how-to.

The speakers are also fairly easy but you'll have to find a way to modify the housing in the door to accomodate a smaller size speaker. You can custom make something or do something like Death did here.
