When you first buy a new stereo system for your car you will probably
be in a rush to hook it up and start listening right away. However, it
pays to take a few steps back and think before you begin tearing out
your dash. Before you begin ask yourself the following three questions:
1. How much experience do you have:
If
you have experience working with car wiring before then you have a good
start. If you're a novice you might want to just let the pros handle it
or at least read up. Also, how knowledgeable are you of your vehicle
specifically? Although the general procedure is going to be generally
the same, there are some different steps you may have to take depending
on the make of your car, so take those into consideration.
2. How much room do you have
Not
all cars can easily fit all systems. If you have an older car your not
going to just be able to plot some huge DvD screen into it. Your going
to need to cut out some trim and create more space. This obviously makes
it more complex and more likely you'll need to hire someones help. If
you have never done it before, it is probably not the best idea to start
tearing away at your trim on your brand new car. Your going to be
really disappointed if you mess something up, and believe me it's really
easy to cause some serious damage.
3. What tools will you need
Depending
on your car and situation you'll need a set of different tools. Maybe
you'll need to take out some screws or bolts. You might need to drill
through your firewall in order to power your new unit. If trim needs to
be taken off, you will need something to take care of that. Go through
the procedure of what you will be doing and think of all the tools you
will need. This will not only save time, but will help ensure you do it
right. This also applies to miscellaneous supplies. Your going to need
something to keep those wires together and, as much as it pains me to
say this, duct tape wont work.
And there you have, Three questions to ask BEFORE you begin. I hope they got you
