lol. Same here I couldn't stop :lol:. 2 Funny.

I appreciate your criticism. At least you were honest.lol. You think that looks bad I wish I could have taken some pictures of an install a local dealer had done about a year back to my car when I was barely into car audio.

lol. I know it doesn't look professional. Well the thing is I soldered the wires and had no more heat shrink tubing. And as you can see I'm not to good working with tape. Your right :sick:.

This is the wiring harness he got still don't know if it will work. He got off work late so we will work on it until tomorrow. He dropped it of so I wired it to the other harness that plugs into the H/U. Just in case we don't get it to work I'll still be checking back for answers. Otherwise we'll just go to a local dealer to get it installed which we will hate to do.

Shoot that's what I was thinking. I was talking to some friends and surfing the net for more info and I believe your right. What I'm thinking is perhaps when we connect the unit with the wiring harness he purchased is the H/U will turn on, but no sound will come out due to the fact that the speakers are connected to the factory amp. Is it even possible to connect his new aftermarket H/U to his factory amp?. Or will we just have to disconnect the amp and connect the speakers directly to the H/U?.

Alright thanks for the help. Hopefully tomorrow all goes well and we install it.

Ok. I see. Well my cuz just told me he bought a harness that fits into the factory wiring. I believe it looks like one of these. What do you mean by power and signal?. By that do you mean like the black ground wire and yellow battery wire ect....??? http://www.aius.net/proddetails.asp?ID=22

I'm going to be helping my cousin install a new H/U in his vehicle this weekend. The vehicle though comes with a factory Bose system which has an amp. Will the installation be as simple as removing the the stock H/U and replacing it with the new one or will we have to do something else?. We've never worked with a car that has a factory amp before.

Not exactly a big fan of JVC. My bro. took a look at it and didn't like it. Originally I was going to surprise him but decided to let him pick it out. It is going to be his H/U so I might as well let him decide which one he wants. Don't want to end up buying him something he ain't going to enjoy. His leaning towards the Pioneer so far as well-told him about the Eclipse H/U's but those are pretty expensive.

Any H/U that has a Preamp Voltage over 4volts. Two or more Preamp outputs. Able to play Mp3's and some type of built in EQ that will let my bro. fix the sound. That's pretty much it.

What's up guys looking for some help on choosing a new H/U for my bro. he just bought a new vehicle and want to give him a good H/U as a gift. So far I'm stuck choosing from either the Alpine CDA-9885 or the Pioneer DEH-9800BT. I'm open to other H/U suggestions. Looking to spend between $200-$400. What do you recommend?.
