Is the stock radio good enough to support subs? How many RCA cables does the stock radio have? Will i loose power by useing the stock radio?

 

u need a sub connector for the stock deck, it has 0 rca's in the back. Power is weak.

 

if you have this radio

you will have RCAs in the back

if you do not and you have this one

or one similar to it youwill need a line out put converter or a new deck

 

btw the one in the first pic (permium radio) has sub
control.
If you go with a line out put converter you lose sub control with most

 

I would say shell out the extra cash and get a basic aftermarket deck. you wont regret it. The sound quality to me is horrible on the stock unit. It seems like it cuts a lot of low frequencies out.

 

thanks guys, any suggestions for a kick ___ radio?

 

could someone give me a list of nice head units asap...cause i got to decide what to get soon so that i could get it installed by the 23rd. thanks

 

how much money do you want to spend?
dvd/mp3? what do you need and how much?

 

i just need a good cd player, with great quality, nice features....that will give me a great sound for my stock speakers, and subs. i dont need a dvd player, anything that works with a mp3 player or a touch screen. it would be great if someone could give me a list of models, and i'll take a look at them. thanks


any info on the pros and cons of these models would be great also.

 

I know someone that has this radio.

real nice especially with the ipod cable.

 

thanks, any other models? what are some good aspects to look at when buying a unit?

 

What's your price range. That is what really matters

 

i just installed my Alpine CDA-9885 and it sounds awesome. I got the ipod adapter with it and it works way better than the factory ipod radio.

The Pioneer radio that speddlysmitt is talking about is also another good one. I just installed one in my girlfriends truck.

 

yea i'm gonna go with the pioneer i used one at my local shop and it sounded great and looked better then alot me the other models out there. plus its dirt cheap. thanks guys

I'd go with a basic Alpine. You get iPod control, RCA output, the nice basic features. Any good aftermarket radio will make you door speakers seem at least 10x better.

 

You can get ipod control with the pioneer with a $20 - 30 cable.
