Removing stock radio

[Fleetw00d]

Would these steps work If I have the original stock cd player on it?

The factory CD/radio setup has a different bracket system. You don't have to remove the console or anything. There are two screws at the back corners of the radio that are angled forward and down; they can be accessed from either side. Lay in the footwell, look up behind the radio, loosen the screws, and the radio and CD will slide out.

All of the factory cb7 decks can be removed like this wether it has the cd or just the tape player.

i strongly suggest using a usb input for the ipod...it will charge it at the same time too

I believe the word you are looking for is ALPINE!

This is why I purchased my alpine. You have to select a HU based on your needs.

As for power... The rms rating on these decks are not through the roof, but they will suffice in a small car such as Honda. If you are looking for larger wattage, get an amplifier.

Once again, buy based on your needs and your budget. Research the products you are interested in, and make an educated decision.

OP, are you wanting to get a single or double din in there?

Alright ill check out a few of those at best buy.

Also when buying a stereo think about the future audio components you may run. If you have stock speakers a lot of the aftermarket ones put out too much power so the speakers sound horrible. At least mine did. The factory speakers were 30 watts each. Luckily I had aftermarket speakers the correct size from my old nissan so I was able to switch them out easily.

I have been partial to pioneer because you can tune the high's, mid's, bass, SLA (no idea what that is for but adds more sound from what I have discovered). Also it has a loudness control where it can be off, low, or high. You could always save money by getting one with the Auxiliary input instead of a direct ipod control. Does the same thing and saves a bit of money. Only downside the stereo won't show whats playing. You just have to look at the ipod

The SLA you spoke of is source level adjustment, it is a feature pioneer added so that you can adjust each source (I pod, cd, xm etc.) to the same level so that when switching sources the volume level stays the same.

Thanks. I knew it had something to do with volume and was different for each setting. Thanks for the info.

I'm really fond of kenwood radios. i've had two models on my cb and loved'em the thing is you have to find a good way to firm them, i used tape on the first one with no issue but on the second one it didn't held the radio and it got a bit into the dash. but runs with no issues whatsoever hahha
