El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Okay so the Apache is completely without a sound system. Well not completely. It has an old school shitty single speaker with no radio whatsoever, but who cares, I'm still gonna rip it out. So I need some suggestions on where to go for audio. What I want: -A good head unit is a definite must, I've been considering nav (if i can get a late model piece for less money), and a flip-up screen would be cool, but my only requirement is that the thing is iPod-ready. No satellite, I probably won't even listen to the radio. So CDs or iPod. -A pair of speakers would be fine, I don't need 6 6.5 inch speakers and tweeters and a pair of 6x9s. A couple well-placed speakers would be great. -A subwoofer is a definite. Again, no need for a 15 inch asspounder, especially since there is basically no room to spare in the cabin, a small one with a custom box designed under the seat or behind the seat (there's also the gas tank there....problems) is probable. -This doesn't need to be pretty. I'll pretty up the interior way down the road. Form follows function. Money: -I don't want to have to eBay my left nut to pay for this whole setup. In fact, I'd be willing to ghetto-rig some of the shit myself if i could learn how. Would it be easy enough to learn and to just take it step-by-step on my own as a spring break project maybe, or should I go somewhere pro. -I don't want this shit to be ghetto if i'm paying someone to do it. I can do a shitty job on my own, i'm not gonna fork over hundreds to watch some jackoff in a jumpsuit do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't know much about the speakers or audio as far as the products or brands to buy, but I am confident that you could easily do it cleanly yourself. My brother and I put my whole audio set up including subs into my Mustang a couple years ago and as long as you take your time you can do a very clean, quality job. It is easy if you find the route you want to hide the wires. After that it is just running them and hooking them up. So, my vote goes to do it yourself.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 the problem is that the interior of the apache has no paneling, its straight up stamped steel. Good for when Joe Schmoe the drunk driver runs into me, but not for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 http://www.partsexpress.com Plenty of parts available to do it youself. They also have dynamat, wich will help with the resonance of metal panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
