Congrats to pbmbrent and Marcus Budp for winning the Cerbinator Hatckback Spoiler giveaway! More giveaways will be coming to the channel in the future.
waasshhooo right on .....congrats fellas .....using them or selling them?..
Awesome!!
Nice install Matt
Thanks Jim!
Thanks for the great video. Many Mustang TH-camrs don't show installs in detail. You're the best.
Thanks man, definitely want this channel to also be of help while also entertain, so I definitely strive for that.
Another great video. Glad to hear your back is feeling better, too. Have a safe and happy New Year, Matt!
Thanks Tom, same to you!
Nice mod! I wish they had an option for the 79-86 dash layout. They do have the drop-down units or the ones that come out and then up but the shifter is so close and the unit has to be installed sticking out some just to clear the dash face. Oh well...lol Keep up the good work and thanks for all your work uploading great content for us Fox fans!
That's a good point on the 4 eye cars, I didn't think about that. Appreciate all the support!
Good to hear your back is doing better Matt, looking forward to some more SSP content.
Thanks Twister! Definitely I hope that's the case in 2021.
Congrats to the winners or the Cerbinator spoilers! Hey
Matt that double din looks pretty good Im thinking about picking up one of those bezels from 417 Fox and putting one in my car I have an older Pioneer in it as well and now that I've seen your video finding out that the pins were in the incorrect spot is good to know because mine sounds staticky and not so clean and crisp so I will definitely have to check the pins cuz I have the same harness as you do and I have Infinity speakers all the way around in my Dash doors and quarters and they should definitely sound good compared to what they do LOL... looking good man I love Tar Heel such a beautiful and super clean FoX its great that you can drive her all the time or whenever you want... good to hear your back is doing a bit better as well...
Happy New Year to you and Tiff and the rest of the family & to the Fox resto crew !!!
Shifty! The bezel's 417FOX makes are great quality from what I can see. Yeah, I was surprised those after market pins were wrong. Sometimes doesn't seem like those After Market companies try all that hard. Hopefully thats your issue.
I might have to rewatch this if I try to install a new radio myself. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year! It's gotta be better, right?! 2020 WTH was THAT?! 💩 (fingers crossed on the back progress, Matt!)
Give it a shot Jess! 2021 has GOT TO BE BETTER, LOL. Thank you.
Great to hear about your back. Looking forward to the ssp content.
Thanks, it flared up again, but I've got my first chiropractor appointment coming up and I have high hopes for that.
Happy New Year to you guys. Wishing you guys the best for 2021. Hey it is cool that you put it with that stock type bezel. I am going to get the one for my car. Looks good and factory too me. I would leave it be.
Happy new year Macho! Hope you have an awesome 2021 as well, yeah I like this look too, definitely more factory. I think I may still change the controls location in the future, but it's not something that's a priority at the moment
Nothing like a good double din Radio Bro. Nice upgrade 💪
You got that right! Thanks Ant.
Well done mat 👍 I'll be seeing you around eventually
Thanks and sounds good.
Good video & congrats to the winners. I will let my wife know about the Amazon link since she does the shopping.
Thanks man! I would appreciate that, but not worries either way. Appreciate ya!
I’m not seeing the Amazon link… where exactly is it?
Nice informational video. Happy New Year. I'm going to try tonight to upload a couple of videos of my 1979 Mercury Capri. Don't know how to upload videos to TH-cam. I might have to go on TH-cam to learn how LOL. I'm not too computer savvy. I tell folks all the time "If I could read or write I would have been a police officer." LOL.
Hey Crash! You should definitely do that. It's pretty easy to do, usually there is just a "create" or "upload" button on TH-cam that will let you put up a video. Happy New Year!
I think Jeremy did this to his fox as well last year ... definitely cleans up the interior
You're right he did! Too bad it's sold now 😩 Happy New Year DV!
Never mind the radio , That 6speed cobra shift ball had my attention the whole time
😁, Yes I have a T-56 Magnum and it's one of my favorite things about the car.
Great news on the back!
Thanks, getting better slowly.
That’s crazy, i had to do a lot more hooking up my pioneer to my 87 lx, had to get the power and speaker connectors and the amp bypass connector. Works great though
Nice! I love my double din. Bluetooth might be my favorite thing.
This is great i just got a whole system for my 88 gt
Nice! Hope you enjoy it.
Going to have to add this to the list of things to do eventually on my 1988 GT. 😎
I watch your channel as well
@@shednesshunting2578 are you warning me not to do this? Haha
I'm very happy with the upgrade.
@@GearHead704 gotta admit the wiring bit looks intimidating but I might have to give it a shot eventually 😎
Dam it I didn't win . lol congrats to the winners. Another great video I'm doing the double din radio also cut I'm putting the AC controls below the radio.
Awesome Rob! I'm sure you'll enjoy that setup. I'm sure we'll have other giveaways in the future as well.
I cant wait to get to the point where I'm worried about the radio lol
Hah hah, yup it's a good place to be in to now be working on the small things.
Looks great!
Thanks Adam.
Nice upgrade. 👊🏻
Sure is, thanks Jordan.
I’m thinking of getting the swap plate for my feature fox 🦊
Cool, the plates are simply beautiful.
Nice radio! I need one for my cars!
Yes you do Frank!
@@GearHead704 Yeah, all 3 of my mustangs have no radio that works!! What kit did you get? ;-)
🤣
Nice upgrade bro !!
I love it.
Happy New Year
Happy new year Chris!
417 did a great job with the install plates and a great service to the fox body community 👍. You will have to update us later if you like the unit you installed.
On another note, what happened with Kevin Builds? He’s not posting and I can’t seem to find any of his videos? Isn’t he somewhere near you? Hopefully he’s still turning wrenches 👍
Yeah 417 Fox makes a very nice piece for sure! I'm sure i'll get back around to it before long. Not sure on Kevin, I haven't heard anything, but yeah I see his videos are no longer there.
This was a fun video for me. Were you guys using Scotch Super 33+ electrical tape? I love car audio content. I have never hooked up a car stereo, but I have done speakers. Back in the day I had a competition car stereo, but I never entered any contests. LOL. Now a days being older and a "little" more mature I just want it to sound good inside the car. Like I said on a previous video of yours...JVC and Kenwood are the way to go as far as head units. This was awesome! Also I know it's hard to interpret audio quality from your car by watching youtube, but I have a suggestion for you as for as bass. You may want to look into getting the Cerwin Vega Vpas12st. This is a subwoofer with built in amp that actually fits under the carpet in your trunk inside the spare tire. I'm not sure how the spare tire is mounted in your trunk, but if it's under the carpet just turn the spare tire upside down. The Vpas 12st fits inside. It has it's own built in amp, and I'm sure Matt(FoxResto) can help you. It's a very low profile option, and it includes a bass knob so you can turn it down or up. Also JBL has a ST BassPro subwoofer. The ST stands for "spare tire." I have the Cerwin Vega in my Acura, and it sounds amazing.
Hey VV! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, seems like you know a lot about Car Audio, that's very cool. I did not know about the Vpas 12, my audio definitely needs some more help, so I may look into that when the tie comes. Happy New Year
Car guys say one of the first things they learned was stereo stuff. I learned brake pads and rotors....and still never learned stereo wiring. Looks really straight forward...but I already paid the pros at the stereo shop to have all of this done in mine. However, the money I've saved on the rest of the work I've done myself on the car, could have easily paid for this. Still makes me a little chapped how easy it looks 🤬😂
Your right in that I've hard most start there. I was surprised how straight forward it was, but then again Matt makes all the stuff look easy LOL, like you said you've saved a ton of money elsewhere, so no its all good man.
I wish they made something for the 79-86 mustangs.
Yeah, I haven't seen much there.
Cool stereo thinking about doing one the oem stereo in my mustang been strange for years the volume goes to high volume to nothing on its own wonder if it can be refurbished
I'm sure there's someone that can repair it, but I also think going with an aftermarket radio like I did is also a decent choice. Nice to add some tech to these old FoxBody's.
I like it!
Thanks, I"m happy with it.
Those vehicle specific aftermarket connectors are definitely not as good in quality as they were 20+ years ago. I had to get a new connector kit when I installed the aftermarket radio in my 88 GT Vert. Everything worked fine sitting as soon as i was driving and hitting bumps the speakers would cut out. I found it was those connectors not making good contacts with the factory harness. I ended up taking the speaker plug out and running my own wires to the speakers. Since i also have aftermarket speakers I used a heavier gauge wire than the factory, I think it was 14 awg. I'll eventually be installing a 4 channel amplifier and will just relocate the wires from the radio to the amp.
It seems like all the aftermarket stuff has gotten worse in the last 20 years for sure. I' glad you figured it out though and sounds like you have a nice audio setup going on there.
@@GearHead704 Yeah It's definitely better than factory. I've got an Alpine single din bluetooth cd reciever, with the factory storage bin underneath, no holes in the console from an install kit. Kicker component set in the front, 6.5" woofers in the doors, 1" tweeters in the dash and Kicker 2 way 6.5" in the rear panels that you pointed out in the video. I'll eventually get a powered compact sub for the trunk as well as install my amp for the front and rear.
Which JVC unit is that? Looks nice and packed with features.
Yeah it's got a lot of cool features. it's the KW-M750BT
How did you do it for those bolts that used to hold that bracket how did you take them off?
I think it was a small ratchet wrench, but I did this nearly two years ago and forgot.
Having the same issue with my after market connector. Any chance you have a link to where the + and - wires should be pinned to?
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I don't as I shot this video almost a year ago and don't remember where we found that.
Are your front seat headrests different? The driver's side looks bigger tban the passenger.
They are the same, but they have been reupholstered at one point, so it's possible they weren't put back exactly the same, but I think it was more the camera angle in the video.
A lot of Matts on this Mustang channel. - Matt from a different Mustang channel
LOL, yup so many people named Matt, especially that like Mustangs hah hah.
ah, this is 2020.. no need for a radio.. just need a hidden bluetooth receiver.. use that space for gauges.. lol
LOL, that's funny because the gauges were what I just removed, but I am going to use those for the SSP! I didn't even think about a BT receiver, but yeah that's also a good choice.
Matt have any advice for foxbodys with the factory premium sound with amp and aftermarket radios?
I spoke with him and he said the factory system will not work with the aftermarket radios. Sounds like you'd have to pull it.
@@GearHead704 that’s what I was afraid of. Ugh. Thx. For verifying! Happy New Year!
Amplifiers.... I have a 93 LX Hatchback. (Original Owner) Shortly after I bought it I had a Pioneer Radio and 6pack CD changer installed.
BUT recently when I took out my Passenger Seat for a thorough seat cleaning and seat cover swap, (interior is still nearly mint even after 30 years) I discovered the Premium Sound Amp under there was disconnected. I never realized my Pioneer was not going through the Amp. (For almost 28 year I never knew it) Any idea WHY they did not use the amp?
Extra info: Most people, at the time, had these CD changers mounted in the trunk. But being a hatchback I did not want that, and had it mounted behind the driver seat in the back seat footwell, with a box built over it. It was perfect. Could easily change the 6packs while driving. Eventually after 20-25 years the CD player died, and I could not replace it, so took it out.
Your CD changer setup was awesome. Much better mounting place. Unfortunately I have no idea why they didn't use the amp, that is wild.
Long story short when i bought my foxbody it had a cheap lil radio that sounded like crap, i put a DD kenwood in i thought the previous owner had crossed all the wires now i know its not true it took me a week to figure it out
Got to love the aftermarket companies sometimes. I'm glad you figured it out.
What about my 84? Will it really matter if I use this
I'm not sure i the wiring is the same or not, the unit and case are probably different as well, but again not sure.
Man I remember when I started watching you & you would say that you are green
I've definitely learned a lot this, getting a lot more comfortable, but still a ways to go. I remember you commenting way back then. Thanks for the continued support.
Does it run wireless speakers?...
I'm not sure, perhaps it might.
Congrats to the winners!!!! And save some Doritos for me Matt!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂👊👍
🤣 Nah Joe, I gotta eat them all! Hah hah
@@GearHead704 Well fine be that way...... I just wont share my 6pack when I see ya!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@josephleonardi8977 OK, so now I'm thinking I was too hasty in my response and we should renegotiate. 😁
@@GearHead704 I thought you'd rethink that!!!! I'll even throw Olin some peanuts!!😂😂😂👊👊👍👍
@@josephleonardi8977 sold!
Probably the only downside of my 86 is a good old single din lol
true, the 86 is probably my favorite 4 eye.
I have one and my subwoofers that I put in my car stopped working I’ve been trying to find a way to take my radio out and I can find no videos is there anyone who can help
Sorry man, I hadn't run into that one.
I now you are friends with kevin build what happen to his channel?
Hi Paulette, i'm not sure, I haven't been able to contact him.
Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G squad!
Yes, I love mine. Although the S21 is out now, but i'll probably hold off.
@@GearHead704 yeah the S21 is beautiful and a huge difference, but I'm content with my S20 Ultra, and my wife told me to pay the phone off before I upgrade. She still uses her S9 because she doesn't like big phones.
