ok so im thinking about putting a new stereo in my 2000 silverado ext cab, manly just to replace my factory system. i dont know much about car audio but i can figure it out.. im not looking for a loud booming system, is there any kits out there that will work with my truck? thanks.

If you want good sound quality I recommend Pioneer or Alpine.

Welcome

 

i dont wana sound like an idiot but i was looking at something like this:

does that come with everything i need to put it in my truck? is there any kind of specialty tools that are needed to get behind the dash?

 

You'll need an antennea adapter, Dash kit (to make it fit nice), and a wiring harness.

 

lol duh i just noticed that crutchfield shows me exactly what parts i need. sorry for asking such a stupid question!

 

If you upgrade to an aftermarket head unit, i would recomend upgradeing your speakers too. If you dont need to THUMP, then just a basic set of entry level speakers would increas the sound X10! i would recomend Rockford Fosgate because of sound, but JL makes realy good stuff too as well as polk.

 

i actually wanted to buy a stereo and speaker combo (which i did) because the stock speakers were blown. i got a crappy sony xplod headunit and speakers. but i also put in a 12" RF sub. it gets the job done. i thought it would be loud enough for me but after sitting in my friends truck i need more lol.. if i can ever save my money haha.
