I am curious how many of you out there are running their stock deck with additional stereo equipment like subs and amps with line out converters or High Input adapters with their amps?

Here is my dilemma - I currently have an Eclipse CD3434 that is just sitting here doing nothing. I took this out of my previous vehicle about 9 mths ago before I bought the new car. Anyways, I am not a big fan of the double DIN install kits and the PAC adapters are pretty expensive considering I am Canadian and I can't seem to find one at any of my local shops.

So what do you all think I should do? Stick stock, use high input with low pass frequency on the amp or install the after market deck, buy the PAC adapter etc.

Just looking for opinions and to see what everyones setup is currently.

Thanks!

I noticed with the stock radio deck, the aftermarket sub sounded like garbage, i changed out the stock deck with a panasonic in dash tv dvd player, and now i have so much control on the sub and it sounds alot cleaner.

Your Panasonic, single or double DIN?

double din and heres some pics for you

I would go double-din like Cobalt SS Super did. Most likely your Eclipse is a double din? You can problably paint the dash-kit if you really didn't like the color... I am going to get a double-din radio in mine soon.

What price are you looking at getting for that? - EDIT - what price did you pay for that setup? LOL I sounded like a hick there

me? well i got install for free, the guy like practically does everything installed for free, but the deck alone cost 700 and then the amount of adapters i needed to hook that thing up due to onstar and xm and all the rest it finally cost about like 820 somting after tax and all, not bad at all

Ya thats not a bad price at all. Most double dins go for much higher.

No OnStar no XM - easy install!
