show us your aftermarket stereo

well since we have seen everyone's aftermarket wheels, their interior, and exterior, I figured that we should see what your are jammin' with.

P.S. I can't get my pictures to load.

Here's mine. I didn't want to modify the dash, so from Custom Audio I just bought a basic AM/FM radio which has RCA jacks on the back for a CD changer, but works great for my Ipod. Nothing fancy, but does the trick.

I dont wanna cut my dash, but may end up doin it to put in the head unit from my car now that the original died.......... sounds like a project for today actually

Stereo setup: Profile "California" 275 amp, (2) 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 2 subs, Dual 8 gauge wiring kit, and soon a Dual XDMR 7700 head unit

sometimes I have that problem, too. I don't know if I should listen to the engine or the music.

Old pic. Dash is light color, like the seats in the second pic.

Funny thing is with mine, is that I was all set up for a CD player. Made a mounting bracket, cut a different (used) bezel, slid the CD player in and the back of it hit my A/C Heater duct. So, the player wouldn't fit flush with the dash. Instead of trying another CD player, I just scrapped the idea and went with a the radio in the pic. And before that, I wanted to mount an 8 track player, but I knew that was too big.

78f-150Supercab, looks nice. IDK why but the PO of my truck put in Pioneer speakers but not a Pioneer CD player, oh well.

a little off subject but I'll be in your neck of the woods on Wednesday. the 10th grade is going to the Alamo and the IMAX. if I knew where you lived I'd stop by and say HI!

Dr. Dirt: I'd say sure, why not! But next week is pretty hectic for me... I don't know where I'll be. Trying to buy a house right now... been a pain in the butt seeing as I'm self employed. Banks don't like me. Finally got pre-approved... but next week after the inspection and appraisal, I'll find out if I'm actually approved, which I'm dreading...

I thought about doing that as well, but I figured I go the easy way out with no fabrication. Part of it was frustration that I couldn't mount my 8-track player, or an Am/Fm radio of the same era, but just out of a car, and a CD player.
