I've had a request in this forum for car stereo info for an upcoming article.
I came up with something more specific though if anyone wants to take a shot at it.
I figure the person who would be looking for information would be a first timer, so use this as the situation to solve:
You're 17, you just bought a used CD player from your buddy (no diagrams), now you have to figure out how to get out the old stereo, install it in the new hole in the dash and cover the gap around the radio if it's not big enough, figure out how to wire it, how to get to the factory speakers and what size speakers you can put in, and where they can go.
Basically a newbie question that anyone who has put an aftermarket sound system in their Ranger can answer.
