Just about every car on the road these days features a factory stereo. To help you find compatible aftermarket replacements, we've disassembled the dashes and door panels of tens of thousands of vehicles, measured the stereos and speaker cavities, and loaded the findings into our massive fit database. Our system then compares these measurements to the dimensions of a given receiver or speaker to determine if the product will fit in the factory location. To see what our database says about your vehicle, then start shopping! Sometimes we say that a product works with your vehicle.
This means that it doesn't necessarily fit in a factory location, but that it's designed to be compatible with your vehicle's electronics or interior design. Compatible products include products like adapters (for Bluetooth or smartphone control, for example) that plug into your vehicle's stereo wiring harness and device holders mounts in a specific spot on the dash. We also carry a wide range of products that are designed to work exclusively with specific vehicles. See below to learn more. Use our Kit Finder to find the right installation gear for you. At Crutchfield, we know that if you're going to install your own stereo, you'll need two things: to know that the one you're interested in fits in your car, and to get the installation parts and instructions that make the job easier and give you professional results.

Many car A/V products we describe as “universal,” in that there aren't dedicated factory locations for them.
With many of these products, you'll have to check your vehicle for available space, and carefully plan your installation in advance. The most common include:. Amplifiers Amps require three things: a mounting location, power wiring directly to your car's battery, and wiring for musical signal. You'll need to check the dimensions of the amps you're interested in, which we provide, then measure the available space you have in your vehicle.
Mounting locations can include underneath seats or in the trunk or cargo area. We'll show you the size of wires you'll need when you make your purchase, and we can offer tips online and by phone for wiring strategies. Subwoofers Just about all subwoofers need to be mounted in an enclosure, which then fits in an available spot in your car. As with an amplifier, you'll need to measure space in your vehicle to see if the subwoofer you're interested in will fit, while leaving you enough cargo space for your needs. If you choose a powered subwoofer, we'll make sure you get the right power wiring; if you choose a sub and box, we'll recommend the right size of speaker wire, which you'll connect to the external amp that'll send power to the sub. Portable products such as GPS navigators, radar detectors, and dash cams. You'll just want to make sure that you have a dash or windshield large enough to accommodate the mounting systems of these sorts of products without interfering with your sight or operation of the vehicle.
I can't answer the rear fuse box question but would strongly recommend a separate (fused) heavy cable directly from the battery, without this your amplifier will suffer from voltage drop on heavy bass transients, being a class B amplifier this will occur at twice the frequency of the music and cause severe and very audible intermodulation distortion of the amplifiers output. In techy terms its called power supply rejection ratio. It all depends on what you want to listen to (and how loud) as to how far you go with this, a thumping great farad or so of capacitor wired at the amps power terminals may be of benefit with a very high power unit, I would not bother with this though. Its not to hard to run the cable through the proper cable trunking and while the front seat is out you get a chance to clean all the bits of trim and carpet you cant normally access. Who Are We?
