Throwing in a Pioneer Double DIN

Hey Guys,

You seem to know your stuff when it comes to car audio so I am asking for a little help. I am a first time Forester owner and really do not know much about the car. I have a 1999 Subaru Forester Sport and I have been wanting to replace the stock deck with a Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD.

My question is when I get everything off and get the stock deck out, what do I have to do after that to get this new deck in firmly. I am going to go out and buy those easy connectors and crimp the wires together, but I was not sure if I would need a Stereo cage or not for the double DIN. And if I do, where can I find one?

Like I said I am just beginning to learn about the Forester and need some help. Anything is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Matt

 

Remove the stock radio from it's cage and mount the Pioneer to it.

 

Any chance i could get a kit made up??

 

Shoot me a PM and we can talk!

 

sadly my kit started to rattle a tad bit thats what i get for a hasty install with no caulking or extra sound deadening. i am going to take apart and reinstall very soon with fresh glue and caulking around the box, new sound deadening, polyfill, and a fabric over the front

 

how did you vent the sub?

 

12"

Been reading over the posts, very interesting and helpful. Going to try install my 12" slim in my SG in a few weeks will be a mission but i hope it works if not i'll go down to a 10". May have to take a few photos along the way.

 

I have the opportunity for a steal on a few different subs, not sure what to get. I got a steal on a Kicker 100w mono 1ohm stable amp with lowpass filter, so I will be using that to push.

(2) JL Audio 6.5 W3-V3 for $150

(1) MB Quart 12" slim mount $64

(1) Kicker Solobaric L7 10" $74

(1) Infinty Perfect 10.1 10" $34

(2) kicker CVT 10" $85

Mounting depth is iffy on the Solobaric, but i would mount it over the opening and trim the factory carpet around it.

What do you guys suggest?

 

I would think some fiberglass and a AP vent in place of the cabin vent, would be a great way to go could to use a driver that wants a bigger enclosure work. AP can be a challenged to tune but but the results might be worth the work.

 

Scooby Im finally ready for a kit. Do you have any left? Your PM box is full!
Go Seahawks!

 

Just noticed your PM box was full sea-scooby. i am looking for a 10" kit for my SG. please email me at justinthefatty [at] att [dot] net
