re: odd question..anyone opt for a bluetooth box over traditional car stereo?

My suggestion is to get a non-touchscreen deck and two good speakers. Not many connections. Not much wiring to hide. Get decent sound. Can play Bluetooth, SD/USB card stuff, or regular CDs.

Just need power, ground, antenna, and speaker wires. It's not that hard, and he can get to know about and practice wiring stuff (because you are always gonna have to do something electrical)

Eta: I don't know if you have any radiator repair shops around you, but I do here, and it's cheaper a lot of times to get that and the tranny cooler cleaned up at the same time than buying new ones


Here's a budget build that will sound pretty good:

Kenwood head unit
JBL door speakers
Either one of these two for baffles (to protect from water) LINK LINK

I'd get two spools of 14-16 AWG wire (blk and red), and run them to the radio from the battery and then to the speakers
