How bad is the $20 car stereo from Walmart? Install | Review

- I was enjoyably skeptical buying this. I figured the video would be a fun disaster. I was wrong. This budget radio stereo was quite impressive for reviving an older daily driver.

God bless those poppable speaker grilles. In every modern car you have to take down the entire door pad.
And screwed in speakers, rather than riveted!
totally. I don't get it, it's like automakers love to make DIYing difficult for auto owners wanting to stay on a budget.
@@ImNotADeeJay the government gets a cut of every car. Why do anything vehicles sold in America are made different. My wife's Honda fast idle sensor failed. They wanted to charge 1500 to repair it. But guess what, in Japan, they don't come with fast idle sensors. So they definitely want to make things difficult for people. My moms Cadillac has this plate cover and they wanted 80 bucks to remove it. My step-dad took a wire hanger and said fuck you. I will never buy mower vehicles unless a law demands it. It's cheaper to just replace a whole engine than what it costs to fix cars these days that somehow conveniently fail with thousands worth in repairs as soon as the warranty expires.
Jesse Cruz is how are you going to cut your own lawn with no mower?
So what you’re alluding to is that this Honda isn’t ‘modern’?
The fact you played Mexican music for that example was perfect
KaiiiLee 💀💀💀
What was the second song he played? When he was testing out the old speaker
Awesome.
The joke about it not being stuck was funny
@@CodyDylan-pt2kh skywalker
I always keep a spare license plate handy for removing speaker grilles..
brentonwb Those tin plates with the raised high letters are practically antiques.
@@HighestRank Just got a new license plate 3 months ago, metal with raised letters/numbers. I have no idea what you are talking about.
@@HighestRank Are you from UK..
@@0hjaa3.06 Probably CA.
@@HighestRank lmao what
It's really interesting how the stock speakers are made in Japan and the Sony ones are made in Vietnam
i just told him. hi`s a fucking idiot. the origal speakers mad ein japan sound clear. they only need to be attached
@@kavajamusic5411 Those cheap sony speakers will still outperform those cheap factory paper speakers, japan or not. The car was made in Japan, where do you expect the oem speakers to be from? My dodge has all US made factory audio.
Aftermarket one's had higher wattage, which may or may not actually matter, but I'm sure Vietnam makes decent stuff too. It's also a lot newer than the one in his old car. I do believe he could have tried tightening up the speakers and the rattling may have gone away.
Yeah, but they make cheap stuff in Japan too. Honda bought the cheapest speakers they could.
@@kavajamusic5411 Naw, the original speakers on old honda's were where they cut corners, made of cereal boxes, was tragic, you would have never guessed they were made by honda, they were that embarrassing.
I just watched a man do a review of paper speakers, and I have no regrets.
dislike squad
Implying that these material speakers are that outdated or unusual. They were still in most cars until after the 2000s as far as them being bad quality, you haven't heard vintage JVC Kenwood Marshall or Fosgates, they're better than average modern speakers
Hey Tavarish do you plan on putting one of these head units in your Gallardo?
I just came here from your lambo video, no regrets
There are total shit, turn them up loud and they will tear themselves apart. I get it, you are the old vintage electronics hipster, but you are dead wrong about the old garbage, esp brands that were for the poor and shit back in the day. You list bad brands, that are on the cheap end to begin with lol
Proof it doesn't take much to vastly improve sound from many stock car audio systems. Even the "premium" systems use cheap speakers for the most part. Great vid!
love the panel removal tool at 2:14.
What I learned today, License Plates are great for removing speaker grills
@@flatdog691 lol
Yo, I gotta take out the whole door panel...gotta love my '96 lol
K.I.S.S principle. Love it. Keep it simple -
Car asmr
I wish my car had pop out speaker covers. Some cars require you to remove the entire door panel just to access the speakers.
It's stupid the engineers weren't smart enough to make all vehicles with pop out speaker grates
T Davis well they don’t want people buying base models and putting nice speakers. They’d rather people pay a thousand for better speakers
Its not that hard tho.
I'm considering changing out the speakers/head unit in a 2008 smart car I just got a few weeks ago (had 70k miles on it got it for about 4.2k)...so far I'm just using a 40Watt Bluetooth speaker paired with my phone and the stock radio(volume isn't bad on radio but Aux cord volume was very weak and would cut out At max volume 24)...will I need to take out door panel in a 2008 smart for two Or can I just get them out does anyone know..it's the Passion for 2 not a brabus
Yeah I got a chevy impala limited lt 2015 old body style from 06-13, i had to unscrew few screws but thank god it was a plug and play with the GM adapter rather than splicing in it
Not sure why this was recommended but I stayed lol
Thank you. Haha I tried making it entertaining and condensed. I was walking past the crap car aisle at Walmart and wondered what it sounded like haha
Turncoat Tony same
Turncoat Tony I actually wound up staying through the whole video too. I'm not even interested in that radio but I just couldn't change the channel I was really interested in seeing how it turned out.
Yukuba Holmes heck yeah. I even subbed. :D
Same here
That's how everyone start to mod his car... One more year and the insight will have 1.200 hp or maybe it will do 160 db at 30 hz or maybe it will be slammed, frame banging with chrome wheels and a stance sticker on the window. Come on Rob there are many aspect of car mods you can explore other than big power
Michele AND THEN COMES THE GREEN TAURUS
what about 170db at 20hz?
160 db at 30 hz...that's hard as hell to do. I'd say go with 40-50 hz burps
Ren Höek, he is building a 4wd 4rotor rx7, I think he knows a thing or two about hard stuff to acomplish
Michele building an audio system and a beastly engine are 2 completely different things hitting a 160 at 30 hz is hard is hell because the low Hertz tend to be a big air mover not a great pressure builder. Db is a measure of sound pressure. 40-50 hz is alot easier to burp a 160 due to the faster movement of the woofer. Take a look at exocontraltos Frankenstein build and see what all he had to do to get into the 160 club and how much tuning he had to do to get there....your looking at 6 18s with upgraded voice coils spiders and soft parts and 30,000+ watts of power
From everyone who does stereo installs PLEASE USE THE CHEAP HARNESS ADAPTER!!
4:30 a common problem replacing stock speakers is that aftermarket ones tend to be bulkier, and they can easily get in the way of the windows when you roll them down. That happened me twice, and had to buy a pair of spacing rings to work around it.
My boi over here listening to Banda
greg santos me dicen el 24!!
greg santos lol
In this episode, Rob Spaghetti can't play his cassetti.
Godfrey Poon SPAGHET
How the fuck did the spaghetti bullshit make it over to this channel now? Holy shit I hate CZcams lol
Tyler Johnson guilty by association.. basically the entire judicial system..
VCR was also garbage already, he's nervous, plays a track so he looks calm and ready to rewind, this whole cassettie with 1 pennie
Somebody touchin my spaghet
I used to work in the electronics dept of a walmart. I sold everything you just shown...often. very popular single din units.
I died when he took off the covers with the car plateXD
guilty but insane License
no you aren't dead. liar.
Walmart isn't that bad? Thay sell alpine ,kenwood and kicker.
I buy 5qts of Valvoline for 16$
And 20¢ mac and cheese 🧀 🔥
I'm happy
M&R Tuning kicker really isnt that bad. They hit well over a loud exhaust v8 and 80mph wind noise
+Snipe Stud00 yup iv had 2 kicker comp 12"s 7 years and still bumping them today
Best subs ever
Ever try dual L7's
Walmart online even offers brands like American Bass which are severely underrated subs and amps
TenLettersRap yup they also sell coil overs and turbos I'm pretty sure you can get a bong on there too
aftermarked headunits have been looking the same for the last 20 years😂
yea and now lots of units don't have a cd player there just media players like this one... still would have spent a couple bucks more on the head unit myself.... going through all that trouble lol
they look the same sinse 19fucken90 not kidding
at some point they switched from volume buttons to a volume knob..
Bought this same head unit.. you will want to paint the blue LED's Black as they will blind your ass driving at night.. seriously, you can see these led's from space
I think you can dim them from the settings
You definitely can
🤯
What setting can't find it
I just put my bathing towel on it...problem solved!
In the 80's I bought a _Kraco_ FM stereo with a cassette player from _Chief Auto Parts_ ( now _Autozone_ ) for about $50 for my '71 Chevy pickup which came stock with an AM radio. It came with two 6" speakers and a 50w power booster. No regrets there.
Ah I remember Kraco had some 6x9 and they were good for a high school student. Those Kraco packages were insane haha
I have this exact radio in my mud toy, its been submerged in water completely, frozen solid, caked with mud and still works perfectly fine 100% of the time. Well worth the $20
Sounds like you are an easy man to please....lol
With all of them expensive cars he has a small budget left, so cheap is good sometimes
Rulerpaco .paco LMBO I was thinking the same thing
He's just easy. Period.
I bought that same radio head for my old toyota corrola 2007 and it was amazing quality people even complimented me on , and i was like "I KNOW , it was only 20$"
So i watched this video in january of 2019 and made my first "modification" to my car. I'm now rebuilding the engine. Needless to say doing something like this is a gateway drug to mods
building 1000hp AWD animal of a car makes videos on installing head units
XxboaredofbordemxX fuck yeah
this is what happens when u spend all ur $$ on a diablo lmao
This man has a snap on screw driver and used a license plate to take the speaker cover off 😂😂😂.love it
I still have my older 90s era Kenwood cassette head unit receiver in my old but trusty good 1995 Ford T-Bird. I use the cassette player for 3 things.... my phone holder, Bluetooth cassette adaptor, and very rarely....cassettes. The receiver itself, and the amplifier connected to it are very powerful, being that they’re super old. The tape player only works right now, because I bought the belt kit for the tape drive mechanism that replaced the black gooey substance that used to be the old belts.
"Stock radio doesn't even have a CD player only a casset player" new radio.... has neither.... lol
cezzy abarca everyone listens to radio or aux now
wacka wacka That's not the point
You could get it with a multi disc CD player from the dealer
I still collect cassettes, most of the ones I have sounds as good as CD.
ktfjulien That is *exactly* the point (despite the OP making an obvious joke).
Howard Jones I sure like your _What Is Love?_ ... but your _Look Mama_ is even better! An overlooked gem of the '80s and a total blast 😘
Put the same head unit in my 1000 dollar cobalt beater and it works great. I even wired up a small subwoofer with it. For 20 bucks to have bluetooth it can't be beat.
No you don't need a subwoofer
Alexander Hutchison the head unit does everything on its own, a subwoofer is an additional speaker that you connect to an amplifier to get thumping bass
5:29 "USB Input, maybe I can charge my phone slowly while listening to music"...
I have the exact head unit in my 04 Silverado that was meant to be temporary but it works so good I’ve never thought of changing it! Also just installed subwoofers/amp and it’s still going strong
Well objectively they sound awful but subjectively as an upgrade to the factory system they succeed
RippyTheRazer Well yeah but you can't hear what they sound like through a microphone because the sound quality is greatly decreased
AFX Gaming it's not that it's decreased it's that your phone mic doesn't sound like the speakers thus not creating the same experience
Onboard microphones are notoriously bad at sound capture, yes. Particularly when it comes to high spl applications like big bass builds (a la EXOContralto and SMD) however you may note that this is not a high SPL application, there is no clipping involved of the microphone. Also, you hear the factory speaker compared against the aftermarket speaker in the same environment and with the same camera. Therefore i feel confident in comparing the former to the latter and, being confident in the lack of quality in the former, leads me to believe that the objective quality of the aftermarket speakers is on the lower end of the market. However as stated multiple times in the video and again in my initial comment, none of this matters because they are still an upgrade from factory
RippyTheRazer I never said they didn't sound better or that they were bad bro chill, all I said was that you need to be there to hear it, think about it, recording a speaker and playing it through another one, it will only sound as good as the microphone and the speaker playing the recording
RippyTheRazer also, wasn't talking to you, was talking to the other buddy explaining that it doesn't matter how good his mic is you'd never really know how they actually sound over CZcams so slow down
SAAAAAAAAAILLLLL. It really is amazing what a difference both speakers and a new headunit makes. 150watt is not even pushing your speakers to the limit, $50 headunit would've been better but more money to save for the rotary.
It's putting out more like 15W RMS. 120W is the maximum power that stereo can put out. He'd need an amplifier to max out the speakers.
zgdrummer there is 220watt head units. Sony has them too
Rotary? Does Rob have one of those?
GForceConnections again that's max power .. RMS is the true power and the only power figure worth looking at. Alpine make a plug and play 200w (50x4) amp which makes a great difference
Satveer Degun I believe the HUs he is talking about have a high output amp in the HU and require a 10ga power wire direct from the battery in order for it to function.
I’ve had 3 of these units in 3 different cars and the sound has always been good! The only problem I’ve had was that some units don’t charge the iPhone but still good sound quality for the price.
Love the little bit of 'Sail' at the end there, "here's the real test" .. Yep, blown a few fuses with that one before 😂👍🏼
Ok here is the real test * bass *
" video ends "
P. luna lol
It’s short Because he didn’t want to trigger the CZcams copyright police.
@@misatzu that's actually how the song sounds.
@@megaruhe6296 I know the song, I've heard it dozens of times. I know the sound, and I've even verified it before replying.
In this case, that exact sound is definitely distorted exactly the way these cheap car audio speakers of that size do it.
2:12 What is that tool called?
License plate
This is a tortious
iMrParker How do you use it?
Rob
minnsminns oh shit...
I LOVE my $20 bluetooth Walmart special! I've had exactly zero problems with it and I would not hesitate to recomend it as a basic BT head unit.
(Unforeseen costs: The car kit and special adapter for my car ended up costing more than 2x what the radio cost.)

This:
*"Las cosas se ponen bien"*
LOL
"Things are good," in case anyone was wondering lol
@@i-love-comountains3850 'Things are good' in Spanish 'Las cosas estan bien'. "Las cosas se ponen bien' in English would be 'Things are getting good'. Song: El 24 - Julion Alvarez
Música buena
The wattage rating on the speaker is how many watts it can take of continuous power without burning up. Watts EQUALS HEAT!!! Keep in mind that this is in continuous wattage, not peaks. Some speakers may handle higher peak wattage depending on how much the speaker is designed to travel. But don't push it!
As for the wattage of the head unit, it depends on how it's rated. There is no standard for car stereos. Home stereos are rated at peak continuous wattage below 1% distortion, the point at which distortion becomes audible. Car stereos cheat and typically rate the output at 10-20% distortion. Who wants to listen to your favorite singer gargle? At their rated power that's what your getting!
Oh man, I remember doing this to my little suzuki 12 years ago, 4 new cheap sony speakers, a new headunit later, man. Night and day... Put in a sub afterwards, I was 20 :D
Jan De Kock wht Suzuki did u have
"They bump" That took me back to high school LMAO! Thanks for that! :)
Legend has it that till this day he is still in his car playing music...
😁😂😁😂 Great video I'm going to try it
I also love listening to music when I'm going the distance, if you know what I mean....😉
Bradley W beat me to it
Cake anyone??
Really I thought a LS powered Miata was batshit insane now you've piqued my interest in a V12 swap
1337Pwny hell yeah playa
That V12 Miata Bruh All we need is a Italian engine swapped Miata, everyone be looking for a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Maserati at the meet only to find a Mazda
do a sub install next, nothing fancy just a small one.
go big or go home
Only if he uses electrical tape to fasten the ground wire.
mrmizzarcus
Shit, the juice you can get out of a tiny class-D unit these days makes half of the killer gear from back in the day look like oversized crap. And it's _cheap_
Kicker hideaway. Put one in the back seat of my truck, not into loud subs or over the top bass. I just like nice clean sound and good bass and it certainly did that.
I like a thump to my music, but I dont want it all drowned out by the bass. So I usually bump it up a little, but not too much on the bass.
wait, you have a super old car with a super cheap stereo & speaker... but you have a $1000 Iphone X ?
says something about people that buy into apple.
This car is meant to be as cheap as possible. Rob actually has a decent amount of money. But the purpose of this is to be as cheap as possible.
I have a galaxy s9 with a 2012 volvo your point is?
JDR 235 waste of money. Thats the point. My phone has 2 screens (it snaps around from the back) and it costs less than both those fragile phones
K...
I have done plenty of car audio setups but still watched this thru. Guess if it is car related ill still watch it, even if I don't learn anything.
Make a video on the one of a kind 4 rotor build that is costing hundreds of thousands of dollars or a $68 stereo install on a Honda insight, my vote is the Honda!
That song 0:22 El 24 i love u bro! 😂😂😂😂
Luis Mendoza it’s better with Tigrillo Palma
Lmao I was looking for this hahaha
Harmon Tedesco frs bro tigrillo Palma sings it better

Had a ‘01 Cavalier as my first car. Replaced all the speakers with Pioneer from Walmart. Front doors 3x5’s, back doors 5” and behind the passengers back seat just below the back windshield were 6x9’s. Never had any problems. Bought a sub box from Walmart with two cheap speakers and replaced with MTX 8”. It had the Neon Light ring around it and that went in the trunk along with a gifted 400w amp as my friend upgraded to a 1000w. Good times in early 2000’s.
I put a $20 head unit in my old backup Civic, and it worked like a charm!
Remember when DUAL was a good brand name? Not since the eighties.
The brand had several ups and downs. Originally the company was from my country =)
GALAXY S7 Germany ?
yup
I thought it was Pyramid 😂
Dual used to be a German audio company. Now it's Chinese stuff. The name came from the ability to run early products on mains or wind-up power. They made great turntables.
:D haha 8:08
Silly guy, only girls have two holes lol
I'm baked
P1imp0logy101 lmao!
P1imp0logy101 girls have 3....
Technically all of you just can't even count beyond three ... but I won't elaborate on that, inevitably evoking an undoubtably subjective debate about "usability".
P1imp0logy101 I include the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, I'm all in
No, 3
Crutchfield sells speaker adapters to add speakers to your stock locations in the door just like the wiring kit for the radio so you didn't have to cut the wires. Oh and the plastic piece with the speakers is a grill to help cover and protect the speaker from being hit if they are not covered
I love these cheap stuff videos. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks.
You should really use the equalizer feature if that head unit had one. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Just get an EQ on your phone and run it there.
avin r What's the benefit of *_not_* using the built-in one?
(I am quite aware of the correct answer regarding mid-priced gear, but on low-cost stuff it really doesn't matter!)
Those Sony speakers look like they are missing a bit on the highs, so you turn up the highs a bit and it sounds better
I recently did a video on a $10 Walmart Car Stereo, by Blaupunkt. They sold out though, bummer! Great vid, BTW!
Williston Audio Labs yeah we know, but yours didn’t come with SONY spokenses.
You Big Dummy!
Have the exact same head unit in my 98 Grand Cherokee and I love it. Especially the remote. As for the wiring adapter, while you may be putting in a budget radio now, you may want to upgrade at a later time. So it would be better to solder the first time, and not have to unwrap all that tape later.
Perfect video for when I get my 1st car and get to do my own aftermarket speakers!
Also instead of cutting off the old speaker harnessing, you could just get an adapter
@ 0:39 that was a dead on copy of what every Honda stereo system sounds like
2012 civic driver here.. can confirm
I have one speaker in my truck that doesn’t work would fixing the wire to the stereo head unit fix that or would I have to replace all the wire to the speaker and can someone link me a video of how to run wire to a speaker bc I cannot find a good one
Great, honest, real-world, no-snobs-allowed review. Excellent work!
You need to update us in 6 months on if the dual radio still works. Like half of them don’t work out of the box and a good amount that do don’t last more than a month or two. At least that’s the way it was when I worked at Best Buy 10 years ago
Will do! Since I paid for it I’ll roast it if it sucks
slwrthnu2 I've had mine for over 2 years and subs and amplifier and it's been fine
3:00 LMAOOO 'some fancy plastic stuff i will probably not need unless i want to make this car look CRAZY' 😂😂😂😂😂
The torture on the speakers when the bass drops right at the end 😂😂😂😂 that’s how you end it my man lmfao
I have read reviews, that even new Honda Accords have lousy radios. Nice informative video. I remember on my first car a new 69 Mustang, I replaced the Philco factory AM radio with a Panasonic AM/FM stereo (no cassette yet back then) and then I installed 2 speakers and the sound was really nice.
Absolutely would NEVER splice a stereo harness together with electrical tape. Had the tape come off on a power wire in my Festiva, and it burned out the wiring harness, rendering the car unusable (didn't touch the fuse though). Ever since then, I'll use shrink tube.
Ever used the Wago 221 connectors? I used to use them in everything from lighting systems to line-voltage residential.
I literally installed that in my e30 2 weeks ago. I have a gutted dash and needed something small and Bluetooth that I could tuck behind my dash. The equalizer options kind of suck compared to my old Sony receiver but eh, lll survive.
That makes sense. The usb doesn’t charge my iPhone either.
would that be the orange wires then?
the orange wires just the dimmer for the dash lights.
oldmanloki _ do you hear that?? Sounds like you're playing that like a damn fiddle!!
I planned on getting those same speakers thank you for checking the sound quality
OMG I have this same stereo system in my car and I had to splice the wires in my car and connect to those bc there isn’t a harness kit for a Saab. Honestly very impressed with this system as well.
" _OMGz Rob soldout to walmart!!! i'm done with this channel!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee_ "
He's rolling in that sweet Walmart cash.
frog
Well it was sony speakers it just happen to be from walmart
Someone should do a needless to say counter
Needless to say that would have been interesting
Just make it a drinking game.
I have the exact same head unit in my car and I have zero complaints , the Bluetooth pairs INSTANTLY when I turn the car on !! Dual has won me as a customer without a doubt!
Cool video just bought same unit to put in my tool box don't need CD. player is why I went with it glad to see it push those speakers
Rob can we see a rotary in the insight?
Instant like for Mexican music
RoqueM64 that made my ears bleed
I have this exact radio. It works just fine.
I have a straight piped truck and for speakers I bought some $20 speakers from Meier plus a few dollars for new speaker wires. All in I was at around $45 no regrets.
I have four Jenson 6x9-3 way speakers I bought back in 1978 in my 1974 Dodge Charger, 2 in the rear deck and 2 in the doors. I have them hooked up to a Craig FM-8-track player. Have an old school pioneer amp, 60x4 real wpc. Also have a remote CD player in the trunk. These speakers have kicked ass for forty years and are still going strong, and so is my Charger.
helpfull video
Dear Rob, it’s been years since this video. I’m wondering if you’ve ever dug deeper into the “car audio scene” after these upgrades. I’ve seen the $70 subwoofer video and I was honestly shocked at how you decided to do it. Of course there are people who spends thousands of dollars making their music loud enough to be heard from a mile away, but I’m curious as to if you’ve ever found it as a hobby, that you continuously keep up with!
Also are going leaving all the wiring as you have shown in this video just twisted together and taped. or have you soldered and headshrinked it or even used spade/ bullet connectors.
If anyone can answer that would be great! So my speakers on the back do not seem to work or play music, if I was to buy some new speakers, how difficult is the wiring? What’s the easiest method?
The “Twist & Tape” method the most OG technique of car modding.
6:24 Sweet, sweet, COPPER LOVE!
I bought that radio to put in my 89 Jeep Wrangler. Mostly because it wasn’t the most weather proof vehicle and if it crapped out it was 20 bucks. But it got rained on, covered in mud and kept ticking. So for 20 bucks, can’t complain
I was driving a company service van that had the factory am/fm radio. I bought one of these so I could play my mp3's and have Bluetooth connectivity for my phone. It works great. No regrets.
May I suggest removing the plastic covers? They allow for very little cone travel, and it sounds like an obstruction issue. I would use the USB for a thumb-drive full of FLAC music, if it supports that format.
I'm glad you can enjoy driving a Honda Insight. I drove my brother's Insight equipped with the CVT a couple times. And as John Connor says in Terminator 2: "I can get out and run faster than this"!
jb34304 I doubt the built in DAC would do flac files any justice.
i went to amazon. got some pyles. all 4 speakers where 40 bucks. the radio was also mechless for 20.
I had 2 pyle woofers in my doors. They ended up blowing up in 3 days -.- I suppose you can’t expect much with something that cheap.
How's that Trailblazer holding up?
i feel you. i had some kappa 4x6 that i was going to move over to my truck. they didn't fit in the dash so i bought the pyles. then i swapped the pyles for the kappas and made them fit in the dash. took the pyles and hooked them up to an amp. they where rated for 360 watts max at 60 rms. they only lasted like 2 days. then i just just bought a full infinity sound system. kappa 4x6, 6.5. k4 and k1000 amp.
its been gone some years. i have a squarebody s10 blazer now.
BlazingCheerio when gm was easy to work on, better than the TrailBlazer
Hey i know its late but could it fit a ford 04 f150 cause my radio has 3 plugs and idk howbto put a radio im wondering
I have the same unit in my semi truck. It was easy to install and works great
Have you opened that stereo. It's virtually empty inside. It just have 2 very small circuit boards running the whole thing. But it works.
Tha's how most electronic are.
@@alwaysopen7970 You mean TODAY'S electronic's. Just open an older model car stereo and you will notice the entire thing is stuffed with circuit boards that take up the entire space of the stereo. And the older stereos has large circuit board on top of circuit boards. But the circuit boards in these new 20 dollar walmart stereo's are the size of a cell phone battery. And they just have one or two of them with-in and that's all that's inside of them, the rest is empty space. No large boards stuffed on top of each other. And you can CZcams old car stereo tear downs and see for your self. So it's TODAY'S electronic that are like that. Now i'm old school and owned 8 cars in my history of driving and still remember when car stereos went from spring push buttons to change the radio station with an 8 Tack player (in 1970's big boat Buicks and Caddy cars) to stereo's with slider equalizers, to when stereos came up with the detachable face plates to prevent theft. So I know how much they have changed cause i've seen it an owned it first hand.
butter that's technology for ya it improves over time...
@@alwaysopen7970 I HAVE A 12 YEAR OLD DENON HOME AMP AND IT WEIGHS 42 LBS !!!!!
Well there's no CD player so there isn't much to put together.
Coincidence? Rob has his GF intro and all of the toys go away?
Will replacing old speakers with new ones stop the skipping noise or do I have to fix the factory amp
metraonline has the plug and play things for the speakers and the head unit that will help with out cut and splice wires that come with the speakers. it is rare now to have to do that. I wanted to try to help on mention that. also thanks for showing what you have done
120 Watts of "Dual" power is more like 40 real watts at best.
Mister Hat At least it's still driving the speakers.
If you pause at 0:13 it looks like his head is photoshopped on 😂🤔
Roko lol good one
Roko yes it does 😂
I got the same radio for my 98 z34 Monte Carlo and it works awesomely, I already got good speakers so when I set it to loud my radio and bass sounds 🔥 , it’s what you wanna hear when you drive a muscle car
I have had the same dual head unit for almost 8yrs i love it it does everything i need but i do like AUX over bluetooth, its louder and better quality
