YACAT: Installation Kit and Wire Harness

[Shawn]

Anyone know where I can get them for a 99 Oldsmobile Cutlass? Crutchfield is expensive.....

 

[Heisenberg]

Best Buy?

Best Buy, Circuit City, any car stereo store.

Is it a double din or something? Or does it require special brackets? If not, you'll really just need the wire harness. Walmart sells em for like $7 a piece. BB recently jacked their price up on them to about $20 iirc, stupid bastards. You can also get kits there too but it may be hard to find it for that particular car. You could also try a car stereo shop (Tweeters or something like that)

I tried walmart but they didn't have it. I dunno exactly what'll fit since I don't have the car to play w/ right now. I'm installing it for this really cute chick that works w/ me. I'm thinkin that maybe I'll just cut the wires and forget the harness or something.

Edit: The dash looks something like this... http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-u6Mh8ZgbVA2/ProdView.asp?s=0&cc=01&g=112200&id=morephotos&pi=8&i=120992001&display=L#morephotos

Cutting the wires is THE stupidest thing you can do when installing a car stereo. Especially considering it's not your car. You can seriously fubar your car's electrical system by cutting it. Don't be cheap and buy the frigging $20 harness. Make her pay for it if that's what you're concerned about.

Anyone who would consider cutting the wires shouldn't be installing a car stereo. Not in my car, anyway

Bah, I was considering it I never said I was gonna do it. It'd be too much of a pain to be connecting the wires behind the dash anyway and she couldn't put the old stereo back easily if she wanted to. I explained that to her and why she'd needed what, but she told me she has to wait now since she doesn't think she has the money. But if anyone can find them cheaper LMK!

try 123av.com, I used them 2 weeks ago, they were the cheapest one for the dash kit and harness that I was looking for, even with their 2$ process fee.

Their site is so disorganised that I can't find any dash kits or wiring harnesses.

yeah I know, I found them thur google, so what you need to do is goto americaninternational.net and find out the dash kit and wire harness model # first, then just type in the kit # with 123av on google, it will link you there directly.
