    Default WTB: Cheap car audio advice / install / recommendation.

    Hi All,

    I am looking for a reasonably priced deck to put in a 78 VW van. Also some speakers to replace the crappy ones that are current in the doors (square ones). Anything will sound better than what is there now (not original stereo, a crappy pioneer cassette that looks about ten years old). The only requirement I have for the deck is that it has a audio in jack so I can plug in the ipod. Any advice would be great? Am I better to get the stereo and speakers installed at a shop or just find someone who knows what they are doing? If anyone here would like to help I am happy to pay for your time / advice. I am hoping to get this done in the next few days. Does anyone know what I should expect to pay in a shop for the install of the deck and two speakers?

    This look OK:

    Opinions?

    Right now there are just the two crappy little square factory speakers in the doors. We don't need music in the rest of the van so I just want to replace these two with half decent speakers. Do I need to get larger ones (6x9s would need a bigger space cut, is that a big deal?). Or could I work with something that would fit in that space - these measure 5x5. If I just replaced them with these would I get half decent sound?

    I'm not looking for a pumping system, just something I can hear over the noisy VW engine.

    Thanks for the help!

    Yes, that would sound fine.

    Thought I would recommend anything over Sony decks thats Just my personal opinion.
