So on a whim I picked up a new radio for my RR. My factory radio has never worked as far as I know, and there are no speakers in the car. During a trip to Best Buy I bought this: kenwood I also got a pair of 6x9's for the package tray. For now, I have no plans on front speakers.
Has anyone installed this particular radio or something similar? Of course there is no "install" kit available from Kenwood. I do not want to cut up my dash at all. I already have a radio plate, but I have no clue what else I need. How did you guys get these radios secured to the dash? What kind of fabrication is there?
Any thoughts on the speakers as well? Like I said, for now I only have a pair of 6x9's for the rear. I dont expect absolute perfect sound quality....Just something decent to listen to while cruising down the road.
Thanks.
A couple of suggestions.. Check out.. www.Classicindustries.com Search out: 1. #MB15106 Mounting plate precut for a single din CD/AM/FM head unit, bolts rite in 2. #MB2098 Dual 3.5" spkrs and mounting plate 3. #MB2099 Like MB2098 but uses the better quality Kenwood speakers
I originally made my own front plate and speaker adapter for my RoadRunner, but now these are mass produced. Put ur 6x9"s in the rear tray and either #2 or #3 and U will have a solid, quality system. Also I put an iPod in the glove box..
Note that I do custom audio installs for different show cars (SEMA, CES), and can advise further if U need more support.
I hope that helps U.
Just my $0.05...
