question before purchase

MercedesTech · #1 08-15-2008, 01:50 PM

Alright, looking at buying something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=1218818513325

Or similiar. I am not huge into stereo's, not looking for a "hard hitting system" and am pretty happy with the stock set-up (that should tell you enough

) and admit I do not know much about these HU. I won't be doing any aftermarket speakers, subs, or amps (or don't plan to anyway). Really, just wanting something to work with a back-up camera, and something that looks nice. Not trying to spend $800-$1,000 on a HU either.

Thanks for any input.

When you hear my system once its done, i think you may want some aftermarket equipment.

On that note, maybe you shouldn't listen to it.

Not worried... think i might just by that HU. Look decent enough, and a damn good price. That, or a Jensen one Crash showed me.

Going with the Magnaflow 14" one. Not ordered, but decided. I'll see if Josh can hook that up too. Otherwise ordering it through another buddy, over at Johnny Franklin's.

Muffler swap, and tips out to the sides instead of where they are now. They rattle against the towing hitch bracket on idle and its beyond annoying.

All the shops around here want to charge me like 250 bucks for it, which is complete BS for a little welding. I just want a decent price that is all

On monday, maybe you can come up a little earlier, around 1 or so, and we can swing by the muffler shop. They'll help ya out, and at a decent price.

MT You'd be throwing your money away on that ebay POS. It don't even have a brand name on it. If I seen that in your truck I'd have to come over there and kick you in the ars.

look at this, http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=19544

Like I said, I don't know much about this stuff, not big into stereo's, but sure would like a rear-view camera.
