Hey guys i recently bought an XOVision touch screen, 7" and I took it to best buy and they told me that with my shaker 500 that the installation would be around 300 because the shaker wasn't meant to be changed out. I call bs on them but who knows...Does anyone know if this is true or not?
Thanks

 

I know you can change the head unit,take some were else,i would not trust those guys

 

they are full of shtuff.... I will bite my tung and let redgt cover this.

 

haha

the more i read in this section and learn about this stuff the more i realize that alot of best buy install people are bad minus a few

 

i dunno, ive always heard that if i would want to switch out my MACH 460 headunit that i would have to switch out my speakers too, and vice versa. something about the system doesnt like either to be changed?

eh, who cares, i never listen to my radio anyway. i listen to my exhaust, hella lot better than the 460!

 

They are no different then any other shop in that they have good and bad installers. They are different from most shops as they have alot of installers.

 

Page 2 of my cardomain site shows how to install a deck into a mach system. With a little tweeking it can sound much better then the stock deck with the factory speakers.

 

Full of sh*t. My car came with the shaker 500. Its been sitting in my closet for over two years now. I personally have an Eclispe AVN 5500.

 

I have been lucky my friend owns a car stereo shop,and he has always did all my work in all my cars. he just put in mtx sub with powered amp enclosure it sounds great.

 

I agree with your call
It's a double din right? If they weren't meant to be switched out then there wouldn't be aftermarket products for sale in the first place....

Take it to a good local audio specialist around you...the more mom and pop (mostly pop) the store appears the better things seem to be

good luck
