where to buy car stereo equpt.?

[iwillwalk]

Subject says it all.

stereo & speakers & bazuka tube is 12 years old

amp & speaker on sub is dead.

speakers are worn out & deck is going

can i still use all the same wiring?

so where do you shop?

[Klipsched with Yamahas]

I support my local establishments. I have always placed a high value on over-the-counter replacement. Of course it depends on whether it is a DIY install or shop install, since install prices vary. We are fortunate to have (2) mid/hi-end equipment shops that offer Memphis, Focal, JBL, DD, MMats, and almost every HU on the market. Most everything except MBQuartz.

If a DIY project, then maybe Crutchfield isn't such a bad place, but you'll still need wiring harnesses, Distribution blocks, etc.

Obviously, your budget and equipment selection will most likely determine WHERE. You won't find P9's or Clarion DRZ955 Hu's in Target or CC.

As for re-use, I would recommend replacing it, or otherwise, scrutinize the condition of that used equipment. Nothing like having a defective RCA or wiring harness after you've already gutted the vehicle once.

Crutchfield is as good as any, and they give you the harnesses that you need to install. Iwillwalk, are you mounting those Belles in a car ?

Ditto what was said above. Remember your looking at 12 years of wear and tear. Stay local, get all new wiring. But remember or decide what is it worth to you to upgrade for sound in a 12 year old Vehicle.............i.e. budget! Good Luck to you.
