Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 18 years.
Online for over 10 years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

When the new 1999 Pioneer radios came out, we knew something was special about these radios. New price which makes it very affordable, new features, soft volume buttons and a new thing called EASY EQ which is available on almost all of the 1999 CD and Cassette radios.

Well, the staff of AUTOTOYS.COM decided to install a top of the line 1999 KEHP7800 AM/FM/CASSETTE with a CDX 1230 changer in a 1998 Honda Passport. We also changed the front and rear speakers at the same time. It worked out great and the sound was a definite improvement!

FACTORY VS AFTERMARKET CAR SPEAKERS

We replaced the grungy front speakers with a pair of Infinity 52is (5.25 2 way with swivel tweeter)

CONE SPEAKER vs COAXIAL? NO COMPARISON.

It was a perfect fit!

Wow, look at all that room behind the factory radio!

We mounted the changer on the right because the gas tank and hoses were all gathered to the left. If you are installing a OEM plug in changer, you would use the same spot. Shown is a Pioneer 12 disc changer mounted in a vertical position by the STAFF OF AUTOTOYS.COM

Use the sills to run your changer cables, just tuck it underneath

Factory grills are held in by clips toward the front of the vehicle

New Infinity speaker installed! WHOA! Nice eh?
