hey guy i got a 95 avenger and was wondering how the hell do i take the old crappy cd player outta it so i can put in my good one, usually im use to a few screw's andbam out she comes but i dunno were to start never had a newer car like this before... anyone help me ?? thanks Rob

Grip the trim around the radio,it'll pull straight back and off .... Two bolts hold the radio in ... Under 5 minutes to install

yup cool, just tried it..... works right on thanks :) 
anyway since im on the subject of stereo's i was wondering does it hurt anything if i go overkill with amp wiring kit's?? like say my stereo is like a 300-400watt system or more, and i have a 1000watt amp wiring kit will it do any damage or anything ??   thanks Rob

Only trouble you might have is getting the larger gauge wire into the amp but some wire trimming will get it in there

well they do have those distrubition blocks which bring it from a 4 gauge to a 8 gauge or whatever.. you know what i mean...

single amp don't need distrobution block ... like I said you can just cut the wire down

ya can do that too, i dunno we will have to see how it goes once i go to do the install :)

When I took my Factory deck out I took the cage (metal brace) as well. Was about 6-8 screws.

your running 4ga Wire?

I am also running 4ga and I am constantly switching systems from 400w all the way up to 1500w and have no problems.

ya i just found a 4gauge kit for 80 bucks.... so prolly pick that up and install it this weekend :)

i'm probably gonna get bashed for this but,

to clear up any confusion or possible future questioning:

Can you take 3 8g wires and run them together in place of a 4g?

kinda like that. I split it at the top for understanding reasons.

Do you need the metal cage to mount the deck?

Ill also be running a 4g wire and a dist block for my two amps when I get them

when i got my system installed i had to buy the new brace trim for just around the cd player and a new harness kit and on top of that i had to re wire the srock harness cause d-a who had the car before me tried to hardwire the stock radio!

naw mine went in lickity split :) sounds good too !!

cool you should put up a sound clip

i dont think a sound clip would give the sound system any kinda justice.....

yeah now that i think of it
