The HU on my 2000 Contour SVT has died after 26K miles. Time for an overhaul, but I need some help with installation tips (Premium Sound NOT stamped on grills - this seems to mean something according to Crutchfield):
1) Is there somewhere I can get info on how to remove the door panels to explore speaker options?
2) Would sound damping products make a difference if put on the doors only? (Road noise is my biggest complaint on the vehicle so far.)
3) Is there an obvious and easy spot for small amplifier(s) and pass-through wiring?
Any help or tips for starting on this project are greatly appreciated. I've installed many units, but all on cars that could handle a mistake or two. I'm not going for high-end sound, just want better than facory install.
