taking apart a new car...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok so I got hit the other day, no biggie, but while my car is getting repaired I'm driving a rental. Its a 2012 Nissan Altima. There are speakers everywhere, obviously everything is stock. But how in the living hell do youeven begin to take apart a car like this if you own one? The stock deck is part of one big center dash piece that includes all the controls for heating, ac, etc. The dash is all one piece where the front speakers are located. I'm obviously not doing anything to a rental car, but this whole thing just added much respect from me to the people who own these newer cars...

Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-

Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) 

Subs/Amps: TBD

Lots of clips and beauty panels. It's not that bad. You just have to be methodical on your approach

I read the first part and thought "holy fuck this dude is about to mess up a rental".

Like snowdrifter said, lots of clips... clips that like to break if you're not careful. The way the deck is integrated with everything it makes putting your own in a pita. Processors like the 3 sixty.3 help out a lot so you can keep it stock.

Not everybody takes apart their cars like us so they don't really assemble them with us in mind.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

My dad has a 2007 GMC Sierra with 11 Bose speakers in the cab... Since I just recently upgraded everything in my car my dad wants me to do his also... So far i have only found about 8 out of the 11 speakers. Like everyone has been saying... lots and lots and lots of little clips that break if you pull just a touch to hard.

What are you replacing them with? I'm sure that would have a factory amp with preset crossovers. So if you only replace the speakers it might not sound right.
