Car Stereo Adapter

[jruss1601]

I have a 95 SHO. I cant find a stereo adapter for my car at walmart or crutchfield.com. They say they don't exist. Anyone know a place that sells them or if i even need one. I'd like to take out my stock cd player and radio and replace it with an aftermarket radio/cd player in one and put in a coin tray/cup holder below it. Any help would be great thanks!

i bought mine at tweeter for $15, best $15 i ever spent

I bought mine at wal mart. I think it was 10 bux. It just the adapter for a regular taurus/ranger/f150 and so on, of the same era.

erm, you talking about a dash kit or a wiring harness? if you're looking for a dash kit, don't worry about it. just use the cage that just came with the aftermarket deck and stick it in there. As for the wiring harness, i've always had a problem finding a wiring harness for the SHO, so I said the **** with it and just hard wired the CD player into the car. thank God for wiring diagrams.

I have a distributor that sells them. I just purchased one last week for my '94. With amp bypass it was like $20 shipped.

There you go.

Well, i was talking the dash kit. the walmart i went to didnt have one for generation 2. It stopped at an 88 or 89 taurus. It didn't appear to have a slot (if they were out). But walmart does have the dash kits? They may have well been out. Thanks for the harness in advance though

You don't need a dash kit

Hmmm, I know I got one from Crutchfield when I bought a stereo from them. I specified that it was for a JBL system and it came with an adapter for the deck and an amp bypass adapter.

For Real? I thought maybe that could be possible. I really don't need one?

No, it fits just fine. Just get the cables from that link and you're set, the picture shows the amp bypass cable comes with it there as well.

wene using the amp bypass harness is the factory sub still gonna work?

 

[NiNeTy Fo SHO]

Nope...I believe the factory sub only works when using the factory amps. The reason: the sub has its own amp.

IMO, the 4 speakers sound much better and have more bass than the factory system with the factory sub.

90 fo show might have answered this more me but do i want to bypass the factory amps? I may replace the factory jbls with new sony xplods but i'm not sure yet. my question is "do i want to bypass the factory speakers and get the harness that comes from crutchfield or should i buy my own harness to use the amps power? what should i do to get the most out of my headunit and speakers?"

the sub will still work, the amp bypass cable only effects the 4 channel amp i believe.
