GP1138 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1099388424834&skuId=6981359&productCategoryId=cat03066&type=product Just bought this tonight. Can't wait to install it! I returned my iPod and wanted something that could play AAC files, because half of my music library is in that format now. EDIT: Pics and videos!! OMGWTFBBQAAC!!!!!!!@#!111 My dash. The seafoam really shines! The unit mounted in the dash, with the typical HVAC knob missing now. :x LOVE the blue!

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Nice...i've found you can't go wrong with pioneer. I know my cheap one sounds like a million bucks (deh-1600)...you just gotta know how to adjust 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Nice deck! AAC files are what you download from iTunes for iPods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Man, she looks nice in my car. Fits a lot better than the XPlode cassette deck I had for my iPod/cassette adapter combo. Now all I need is an amp and subwoofer. It sounds pretty decent right now, but anything with bass just overloads the stocker speakers and sounds terrible.

White93z34 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i'd upgrade the stock speakers before you go out and buy an amp and subwoofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Very nice! How much did they hose you for it? Now you gotta do the Steering Wheel control install, and get a SoundGate Pioneer adapter (it plugs right into the wired remote port on the back of the Pioneer HU.) i'd upgrade the stock speakers before you go out and buy an amp and subwoofer.Word! I can vouch for how crappy the stock Grand Prix speakers sound (absolutely awful...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Fuck! $100 for that adapter. I paid $290 altogether at Circuit Shitty, and installed it myself. Anyone else think the '94-'96 dash is the shittiest to install decks into? I can't get it to lock into place, it'll slide out if I try to pull the face off wrong. I gotta get a better mounting kit, I suppose. Damn is it nice looking though, especially at night. And it's really quick loading AAC CD's, very happy with that aspect so far. A little touchy on scratched disks, which I don't like much, but I gotta learn to take better care of my CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Check out the ones at http://www.humount.com If you're having problems with the mounting depth, then trim off the extra plastic in the back of the dash where the radio sits...

I'm more worried about my intake swap, but I'm really hurting for new speakers. I have to adjust the EQ every other song, the stockers suck so bad.

cutlsp Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 i know the feeling man i went through the same thing. as of right now i finally have a nice sound system but there is room for improvement. which is why i have 2 subs along with a 2400watt amp coming soon. the link i posted he ships really fast and i HAVE bought from him before i also bought my subs from him too so they should come pretty quick . its really the amp i'm waiting on i don't have the green to buy that yet :dammit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
