Josh '88 Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 -If I were to buy an aftermarket double-din sized CD/cassette/receiver, am I able to install it without an installation kit? -What size speakers fit in the doors, and will they bolt up to the OEM location without modifications? -If I were to shave my rear spoiler wing where the OEM radio antenna is located, what options do I have about having a radio antenna inside the car?

indy_85stariones Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Our factory radio mounts are not the same as DIN mounts. I fabricated my own hardware kit. If I were to do it over again, I would be a hardware kit designed for a 1st gen DSM. Door speakers for 87 and newer are 5 1/4 inch. Note factory speakers are 8 ohm. Door and dash speakers are wired parallel on 87 and newer. That is, a pair of 8 ohm speakers wired parallel provides 4 ohms of resistance at your headunit. When you replace your door speakers with 4 ohm aftermarket, you should unplug your fact.ory dash speakers. My old 73 Chevelle SS had radio antenna built into the front windshield. I could never pick up a FM station more than 50 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FighterZero Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 your best bet is to buy an 3,000 gt stario it is a double decker and some of them had cd players and they hook right up and then on the plus side you can still use the steering wheel controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Will a 91' 3000gt fit right into a Starion? I'd like to upgrade to a CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy_85stariones Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yes, you can simply plug-in factory radios with CD players from... 1) 1st gen DSM, Eclipse, Talon, and Laser 2) Galant 3) Montero 4) 3000GT/Steath You want the ones with Amp/Equalizer in order to keep steering wheel controls. Take a close look at your wiring connectors behind your Conquest/Starion radio before making a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Thank, I appreciate the insight! What year Galants and Montero? Does that include late models or are they 1st gen as well. Also, I want to keep with the orange lights and stock look. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
