im wiring a mercury sable car stereo need help?


The components of a good car sound system would be as follows: The source (cd player, in-dash dvd/nav system, radio, tape player, etc.), the speakers, the subs, the amps, the parts/wiring. Also, depending on how big of a system, possibly a new battery or two and an alternator. Here are some of my recommendations as far as good brands.

Deck: Eclipse, Pioneer (regular or premier), Alpine, Kenwood Excelon, Nakamichi (not the greatest looking, but great sound).

Now as far as where to get them, most of these companies will be available at Circuit City, BestBuy, Cardomain.com, Cruthfield.com. Others are only sold at authorized dealers (usually a local audio company), but you'll have to check out their websites in order to find the ones nearest you.

what color of cables do i need to plug in my car stereo?


As far as cost, I would say a decent FULL system would start around 1200 installed and then just go up from there. Now just new speakers and a deck, I'd say around 450 and up for a good setup completely installed.

What would you do?


But in the end these are just my recommendations (based on quality and sound), like Sparky said only you can judge what you like. Everyone's ears are a little different so what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. Shop around at all the car audio dealers and take a listen, but make sure you take one of your cds with you so you can judge all of them with the same song (one that you are familiar with).

I put a Pioneer deck in my truck with two 5 and 1/4 inch infinity in my doors, and i'm putting two 6 1/2 in the back behind the seats, i might wire in two in the headliner, but probably not. Either way, with the 2 speakers (so far) and the deck total cost for me was about $300, but I installed everything myself.

I do agree on the Polk or Infinity (on the cheaper end) of full range speakers. Pioneer really has the best sound quality, in the cheaper receivers, or deck as you called them.
