i was wondering where sum people got there stereo mounting kits from.. can u just pick one up from wal-mart that wud work good?

thanks

 

wal-mart pretty much have the late model cars. i still havent seen them sell mazda anywhere. best bet is to either look for people here selling it or go on ebay

 

i did a little bit of filing to the old stereo mount, and mounted my sony xplod stereo just fine, then i went to the junkyard and spent 5 dolalrs and got cupholders... a little bit more filing and those were mounted.. now i have cupholders and a cd player its convenient

 

crutchfeild... they have one for 10-20 bucks iirc.

 

Yep, crutchfield is awesome. I think they even throw it in for free (along with all of the adapters, etc.) if you buy the stereo from them.

 

Does Crutchfield sell mounting brackets?
My car has a aftermarket stereo, which I thought was great. What I didn't find out until later was that there were no stereo mounting brackets at all. The front of the stereo was wedged in place by the plastic dash kit thingy, the rear was completely loose. I still haven't found a replacement. On the up side, the reason my stereo seemed to skip everytime I hit a bump may be due to it not being mounted, and not due to a problem with the stereo or wiring. (On Iowa roads at 80mph you hit a bump every 1 to 3 seconds.)

 

the best buy kit works good, and if you know someone who works there you get it for around 3 dollars too, and the wiring harness is like $.85

 

mine didn't fit the kit so I...improvised lol. I ended up going to a friends and had them tack weld a mounting bracket for the stereo onto the brackets for the car. Yea.... probably not the right way to do that lol. ^^;;;

 

Here ya go. 19.99 from crutchfeild.

Yeah, um, I don't have this 2 shaft face plate thing. Crap, I am gonna have to find a freaking junkyard that might have one. In Iowa? Good luck.

 

post a pic, I might have one of those laying around.

 

crutchfield ftw

 

crutchfield is a very good source. also www.bestkits.com is pretty good. i install stereos at best buy so i know the mark up ther.
