ChoCCo Member 68 Member For: 16y 1m 5d Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 04/11/09 09:57 AM Share Posted 04/11/09 09:57 AM Hey all,I tried searching around on the forum for answers I've been looking for but got no luck.I Got a few questions;What im wanting to do is install an aftermarket head unit under the bog standard ICC (not premium), 5 channel amp, 4 5x7" all round and my sub.. now I want to get it all fitted. JB have quoted me a little over $300 to do the install but I did the install in my old car so im more than happy to do it again myself and save some $$ (JB can do the deck cos I really CBF)Does the tissue compartment have to be cut in the middle to fit the head unit? or is there aftermarket housing that u can just replace the stock one with?I've never done audio in a falcon so is all this worth the head f**k or should I just get JB to do it for me and be done with it?Cheers- Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are after market units to fit where the tissue box holder is! I'll try and find some links for you! JB should be able to get for you anyway. From memory they are around $100ONE HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitted the HU and ipod cable, supplied and installed the facia, and hooked up my amps to the deck (Had it all running of an LC6 previously so not a BIG deal to hook up the amps)I guess you could do the rest and save maybe $100, but JB's quote doesnt sound bad at all..

Its a head fark only if you cant really be bothered I guess or not really all that sure what your doing...If it was me - been there done that... but....aaaahhhh pass, to old and cant be farked anymore!
