Ok so I ussually pay best buy to install my stuff, but they do a crappy job and do not take the time or effort I would on my own equipment. I must say I am pretty handy or I would not even try this, but I need some help with

- installing kenwood head unit in new Nav bezel
- installing amps
- running speaker wire to and from amp

I know how to wire the power, ground, and speaker wire for the amp to the sub. I am pretty sure I can firgure out how to MOUNT the head unit, but wiring it and running speaker wire from the head unit to the amp and speakers I am lost.

I have done simple installs, just speakers and a head unit, but nothing too difficult. Usually, there's at least one decent place in every town that knows what they are doing. A lot of the same people have worked at the place I go to since 2001 or so, and that makes me feel better about letting them mess with my cars and trucks. Looks like my Charger won't need to have anything done, since it came with a remote starter, and the factory stereo with sub and BA speakers sounds good enough for me. Usually, I can't wait to yank the factory one out.

BB and CC seem to vary so much, from location to location, and over time, that I would think hard before letting them mess with anything. I have seen a couple of ABC Warehouse/Mickey Shorr installs that were a total joke. One looked like stuff I made when I was a little kid, like about eight years old.

But I have seen some decent ones too. You never know.

I believe if you have nav you'll have to buy a couple bypass modules for the radio install.
Sorry i work in a stereo/performance shop and you can tell which side i spend my time on
