I'm going to (attempt to) install a Kenwood DNX8120 hopefully this coming weekend... if it arrives this week, which it should.

I've seen a couple DIY & "how to" threads on here, but I am looking for some VERY detailed, step-by-step info.... starting from the opening of the car door.

I'm not a total noob, but I've never actually removed/installed any car audio equipment myself.
Most of my concern is just getting all the stuff around the stereo removed. Once I'm in there, I think I'll be able to figure it out....maybe.

If anyone knows of something that would be super-duper helpful, please post a link here for me (and all other install noobs)!!

Thanksssssss

 

not pertaining to the thread but where in nola do you live

 

I was born and grew up over there, but moved to Mandeville...about 30 miles north, across Lake Pontchartrain.

Are you from this area?

 

born and raised in metairie til katrina, moved to memphis, now going to LSU

 

No kiddin? Small world. I moved to Mandeville right before starting Junior High. My sister lives in BR. I go to SLU.

 

yeah it really is especially when it comes to new orleans... anyway, any interest in joining up with southern tCs or baton rouge scikotics?

 

Maybe so.... I just got my tC about 6 months ago and am finally starting to do some stuff to it.
PM me any info/links you have on those 2...

I don't want to derail the thread too much...
I need a good DIY double DIN install guide! Something!
I'm sure I could figure it all out, but I'd like to feel at least somewhat prepared.

 

yeah man sorry about that... PMs just seems stalker-ish sometimes but ill get you the info on those two clubs

That thread goes through the complete disassembly of the car. That should give you the information you need on tearing out parts. For information on connecting all the components, I'd probably recommend browsing Crutchfield.com, their install guides are pretty comprehensive.
