I've been meaning to get pictures of this for a while, but have just finally got around to it. Kenwood 4x50 watt rms head unit with an Ipod hookup and two pioneer 6x9 speakers make a lot more noise than I thought they would. Not a bad system for $160 with a 3 year warranty on all the parts.

Good work on the stereo!

Not bad at all. I'm curious where did you get the box that you mounted the radio in and what is the intended use for it?

There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.

That looks like a Radio Shack under-dash stereo mount. A friend of mine put his radio in the headliner of his Bronco using one of those.

Later,

Just a curiosity question. Is there something in CUCVs that prevents the radio from being installed in the dash in the factory location for civilian trucks. Also, be careful with those enclosures. A buddy of mine had his mounted to the roof in his Dodge and kept burning up head units. Seems the high power ones generate a lot of heat and those enclosures don't allow a lot of airflow. He switched to an external amp and used the preamp RCAs and never had anymore problems.

no problems mounting in stock radio position. You do have to cut and modify the dash thouigh. this is a Blaupunct system I just mounted in mine.

Ya, that box was just from best buy, I did have to cut it about 4 inches shorter than it was to clear the shifter, but it still looks and operates the same. Come to think of it I guess it probably generates more airflow that way. I would have put it in the stock place, but I wanted to leave that spot open in case I wanted to add more guages later.

Going to put any dash speakers in?

Not sure yet, may put in some 3.5s but for now the speakers are plenty loud for me and the work was quite easy. I just traced a template onto the doors when I made my cuts and then shaved off a little bit if I needed some more room.

OPCOM

somewhere there is an 8-track without an under-dash box.. Did you put water cups over the backs of the speakers? The rain will come in and get on the cones if not.
