'99 Explorer Sport
Okay so I've finally found the stereo I want, and really do like. The Pioneer AVH-P3200DVD. Will be ordering it next week when I get paid. I'm putting it in my 99 sport, I know to make it fit I have to trim the bezel, correct? I'ts just the upper and lower lip, if I remember correctly. I'm going to be putting it in with a Metra 95-5600 Kit. Then the saving game begins again. Because after that I'm going to be getting 2 15" Kicker Comp's. Thinking I'm just gonna go with a ported box, but I'll just be buying a pre-made one. I've already got a set of Rockford Fosgate 6.5" Component's, though I still need an amp for them, had the "internal crossover" that doesn't work. So Once I get an amp for the speakers I'll be replacing the rears too, because they're blown.

So the list is:
Pioneer AVH-P3200DVD - $260
Metra 95-5600 - $17
Power Acoustik STAX1200/4 - $105
Put in 6.5" Rockford Fosgate's - Already Have
Rear Speaker (Fosgate P1683) - $80
2 15" Kicker Comp's - $170
15" Ported Box - $75

Sounds like a cool setup, I've just never liked Kicker.. but that's personal preference. Good luck with your install.

Maybe you should do a write up on that double din install with the trimming. :thumbsup:
 






Oh trust me I probably will, I won't get the uint in until after christmas, and getting a new digital cam for christmas, so I'll get a chance to use it for sure. I loved my Kicker Speakers (DS680) that is until I blew them, though that was my fault, the extra set of pioneers I've had for a few years that have gone through quite a bit lasted no more than a month before crapping out. So everything is getting replaced but the sub amp.
 






If I remember right when I installed a DD in my '96, it didn't need any trimming.
