Radio upgrade :)

[mobilemedic]

Had to share my upgrade on my 91. When I got the lc the previous/previous owner( because the previous owner did absolutely nothing to it or even drive it) worked at a audio store and had custom radio all over it. Custom dual 6x9s in the doors etc. Well when I got it. All that was there was some stock ish speakers, some extra wiring and large holes in doors and dash with no deck.

Received my eBay package yesterday and today I shoehorned it into my dash. Next will be 6x9s to fill the doors and make use of the custom holes in the doors. I decided that if I was going to put in a radio I may as well do it with style. Android it is. Lots of Work to get it 100% but I thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to go this route. Had to file the radio hole a bit to squeeze it in. Being an avid android user this radio is pretty nice. More to follow.

Sounds like fun. I just ordered the pioneers every one talks about around here. 6.5s for all 4 doors. Still debating on the head-unit, probably just rob the Clarion DD out of my 4runner.

I figured I'd spend 100-150 on a double din deck. Why not spend 200 for awesomeness

I can't remember what I spent on the Clarion CX501. Been a few years. Its not nearly as fancy, but it has what I wanted. Built in Bluetooth, aux and usb jack in the front, etc etc

I went with a Kenwood DDX6702S since it can do both iphone car play or the Android car. Still going through it all and getting used to the touch screen and menu's. I need to buy speakers since the previous owner may have taken what he had in the LC out and then put in speakers he had laying around. The Subwoofer is going to be the fun part. So many options.

If I recall the rear door speakers are substantially smaller than the fronts

Nice, so what deck is that?

eBay

This is the unit I purchased. Eonan quadcore unit. I had to get them to give me a firmware update to fix Bluetooth audio and upgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.42

Really happy with unit. I will probably flash a custom rooted rom though since I'm never happy with stock.

Still highly recommend. If it can run on your phone. It will run on this.

Now I just need an affordable but quality sounding pair of 6x9s.

We've been checking out the Pioneer AVH series stuff, quite a bit more $ though

If you want it right , get components and put them on an Amp. At that point your going to want some bass. Bazooka Base Tube is nice if you ever want to remove it. Now your at about $700.
