I had my cousin's husband put my mom's stereo in (a Chrysler Cirrus). He volunteered to do it. Of course the thing completely drained the battery in like 2 weeks because he hooked it up to a constant power source so essentially, the radio was 'on' ALL THE TIME. Idiot...he installs windshields for a living too. Think I'd get him to do mine? Uh, NO!
Keep smilin!

I have met a few of those types in my day!! Tryin' to take advantage of a young lady and my limited knowledge of the more intricate side of an automobile....

Tryin' to take advantage of a young lady and my limited knowledge of the more intricate side of an automobile....I asked the seller about the ad stating that the radio came out of a E class but being shown in a CLK. His response? "Easy: It's not the car it came out of. But it surely proves that it fits the CLK as well. Thanks for asking."
Uh, it's not the car it came out of but its out of a E class? What tha f*k is that?! NO THANKS! Buyer beware! I've been reading about a young lady that just got ripped off by some bozo in Hicksville, NY so BE CAREFUL of anything you buy on eBay or on this forum. Anybody named Evan or Elvis Panoav (or something to that effect) from Hicksville, NY is a DO NOT BUY! Thought I'd let you know cuz we're both after some sounds....
More interesting reading....

Out Of Control!!
My car came with some crappy system in it. I have a bunch of speakers sitting in my basement but need to buy amps and subs. I know some people at Tweeter in Rockville and they should be able to hook you up. A NICE sound system costs big $$$ though. It all depend son how far you want to go. When you start getting into McIntosh amps/focal speakers/jl w7 subs and custom enclosures your talkin BIG money. In my lass car I went with PPI amps, JL 12w6 subs, mb quart Q series speakers, and an alpine head unit.

I've heard this unit can be swapped in 5 minutes. I don't need audiophile quality. In my case, I have a Cab so a sub in the trunk is just about out of the question with the limited space in there. Not willing to sacrifice space for the "bump-dee-dee-bump" ghetto blaster sound system (aren't those deals annoying when they pull up next to you at a traffic light? ). Where you been?
