    Would you be able to help me install new stuff in my honda?

    Hmm. Maybe if it happened sometime between September 11th and the 18th. Other than that week my schedule is pretty booked up.

    I recommend ordering your stuff from Crutchfield. They have good prices and will throw in all of the installation gear and instructions for free. their customer service is top notch as well.

    People on the honda forums have said that as well, but that they are over priced, but with the added guides and installation gear it kinda evens out ya know?

    I bought a head unit from Crutchfield and installed it in my F150 myself. It was a snap. I had a couple questions as I was doing it and called their customer service for assistance. The 2 people I spoke to were very helpful and knowledgeable. So I was very pleased with their customer service. However I am not at all happy with the unit I purchased. It is a Clarion unit which the sales person highly recommended. I was mainly upgrading because I wanted a unit with an AUX input jack for sirius radio and a usb for my iphone. This unit does not work well at all with the iphone. You can't control the ipod with the phone only with the head unit and it does not work very well. I will probably end up buying a different unit. So I would say a +1 for Crutchfield customer service. But I would really research the unit before buying. I would not buy another unit that doesn't allow control from the ipod.

    Clarion is supposed to be trash according to my audio friends. Im probably going to go with a Pioneer or Alpine. Its matching that with speakers thats the problem. As for the quality Im aiming for I may need an amp. I havent had to work with wiring in 3 years and I need it installed professionally but dont know who to trust.

    It's a snap, I did it for a couple years after highschool. A mid level head unit, 5 channel amp, sub, and some replacement speakers will go a looooong way.

    Most of our customers weren't extremely pleased by just replacing the head unit and door speakers so quite a few of them would throw the cash down for an amp and sub - then it was night and day.

    I like trunk space. The amp I think I could do, as it can be put up on the side, but really Im not a sub person. So who wants to help me put it in when I get stuff? And help me pick stuff out.

    Heh. I dropped by there once. Picked out a basic model at $150 to replace the broken OEM. When they were done adding charges for this connector and that connector and labor, they quoted me $650. See ya.
