Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio installation question

sorry if this has been asked before...

I know a lot of people order from crutchfield, and they give you everything you need and instructions, but there is a sony outlet store around here and a place that i found online that is cheaper.

anyway...what extra stuff do in need to get after i buy a new head unit and door speakers.
nothing fancy here just replacing the headunit and speakers.
do i need a new bracket fo the radio or will the one off the factory one fit it..its a Sony CDX-CA700X
and do i need a wiring harness
and I read about something that you need to bypasses the factory amp??

if this stuff is needed is it possible to pick it up from someplace like circuit city?

thanks

Yup. Anybody want to write a FAQ for HU installation/amp bypass?

i say you can have the honour :p

I'd gladly do it if I was installing a HU and had a digital camera readily available. I thought you had all sorts of pics, Tony?

Here are the instructions that crutchfield will send you

nice.

I had installed the xplod cdx-750 last summer and I bypassed the amp with the supplied crutchfield's amp by-pass. The instructions were easy and I couldn't be more happy with the sound that my system has. The 52 x 4 is more than enough power to push my 6 x 8 pioneers.

Hey thats great.....anyone have it for the Mystique on here?
