Re: Ideas for Stereo System for 2007 Precedent
I ordered the carbon. Now to select a radio W/CD player and speakers. I'm thinking a marine radio since my cart sits in the weather at the camp ground and some type of speakers that can handle moisture.
What kind of radio antenna are you guys using? Chipster, nice job on building the switch plate and housing to fit that cubby space. Ordered my fender flares too. |

Re: Ideas for Stereo System for 2007 Precedent
"Marine" radio and speakers is the way to go. My antenna is equal to this one which is mounted horizontally behind the dash:
That's a real nice looking dash you got coming, the "Elite" ...got me thinking about changing, but the one for the DS doesn't look that good. And you'll enjoy those fender flares, just mounted mine last night... |

Don't be discouraged when you open the box and the dash seems very thin and flimsy, once you install the dash it becomes very rigid With respect to the antenna, I wasn't going to use one. My radio has a USB connector for my iPod and if I run my iPhone it will control Pandora from my iPhone. Although a radio might not be bad.... |

Chipster,
What did you make the cubby hole mounting plate out of? Really like the way you have kept things clean and well laid out. Thanks for any info. |

The one thing I didn't like was the fact that the faceplate was curved on the sides. I just didn't look like it fit right so I tossed it and fabricated a completely new faceplate out of 1/8" MDF then painted it with the "hammered" silver paint. Here's a pic of the old faceplate being glued to some MDF, the box I constructed the old faceplate (you can see the rounded sides and finally the new faceplate made from MDF then painted with the hammered silver paint. |

Re: Ideas for Stereo System for 2007 Precedent
Excellent Craftsmanship and job well done. Very jealous. One other thing, what material and procedure did you use behind the dash? The part that holds your power converter and accessory wires. Thanks a bunch

Pics below: Cardboard template for MDF MDF piece cut - First generation. i didn't like the fit and made another one Wiring on the underside of the MDF Wiring behind the dash. Most of this is under the MDF. The yellow and black wires were cleaned up on final assembly. Wiring in to fuse/power distribution block |
