Anyone need help

If anyone ever needs help with stereo or alarm problems let me know. I use to install sounds and alarms full time, I did it for about 5-6yrs, havent done it full time in about 8-9yrs. I am no "Ryvall" by any means but I can do alot of the basic set-ups still. I also have a buddie that owns a shop on 147th and Kedzie that does alarms,tint, and sounds. He always hooks my friends up with good prices!

Good to know thanks for sharing Shawn. I will mos-def be interested soon.

I'm definitely thinking this will be in the future.. Probably gonna work on the trunk area/sound in 2011..

That is my plan this winter, I'm trying to get this shop to sponsor me. I plan on having a full trunk display with tv's and other goodies.

damn cool of you to offer shawn!!!! Thanks man!

Yup.. Same here but there's other stuff that I need to be working on first.. Shaker, grill, BT stuff, exhaust..

Your car is pretty well modded as it is so you're ready to move on to the trunk..

Like I said I did this yrs ago, I would be more than happy to take a look at your car and see whats involved. If you were going with an aftermarket head unit it would be really easy. I have never did an install with a factory nav system. I have done some installs with factory head units just not nav units. Also why do you want to change out your stock speakers? If you do you will need to put an amp on those too, to achieve the sound they are built for. So it sounds like you will need 2 amps 1 (1-2 channel) for the subs, and 1 (4channel) for the interior speakers.

I really didn't want any subs. I like the sound, I just want more volume.

Not sure bro, I havent replaced mine or any other chargers interior speakers.
Like I said I havent done full time installs in over 5 yrs, I can install head units and simple amp and sub set-ups, and a little bit of trouble shooting. I plan on ripping my chargers interior speakers apart over the winter. Then I will have a full understanding of everything.

Thanks man --
For anyone concerned I have it confirmed (popped em off and referenced speakers i have)

door speakers and rear deck = 6x9

dash = 3x5

if you have the 7th speaker, i don't have it.. so i don't know the dimensions. Sorry!

i believe the seventh speaker is an 8" in the rear deck. not sure if everyone knows this but there is a hole in the rear deck that is for the 8" speaker. the factory put it on all the charger for the upgrade package. thats my next thing to do, drop a speaker in there for more high's.

I have to check that out. Wouldnt mind tossing in an extra 8" sub in there

he is right thier is a hole for a 8 inch sub in our rear decks i have read on the other forums that some have ported thier boxes through this hole to get more bass inside the car

Ok here's a question for ya.... steering wheel controls... if i dont have them... can i upgrade to them and if so... what does it take...new steering wheel or just new inserts and plugging in a few wire harnesses??
