People Have Been Ruining Foxbody Interiors for Years! Proper Stereo Installation 101 - TIPS05E96

One of my all-time pet peeves! I actually have been doing this since I was 17 years old (1998) because I simply couldn't afford to buy the install kit and decided to improvise instead!

Huge pet peeve...(stereo hack installs) just finished restoring one of the worst hack jobs on my buddys sn95. Fixing his Mach 460 stock system with a new nice head unit. Perfect rant Chris lol. Appreciate you man. Keep up with great content and hard work.

That’s the way I always done that for years until I upgraded to the double din stereo… that’s when mine got drilled… let’s face it… you put anything in that fake cubby hole… it flies out as soon as you turn the corner!!! That hole was originally designed for the ford equalizer that was an option… if you didn’t have that… you got the fake cubby hole… a new double din radio fits the hole perfectly!!!! Looks like it was made for

Love this video Chris. These are the little nuggets of information that help keep clean cars from being butchered!

that is beautiful! My dad hacked up the whole dash of my 89 GT vert when he had it. Monster tach holes, cell phone holder holes, crappy head unit plate holes, cut speaker wiring, and cut stereo wiring. I used plastic weld and patience to repair the holes in the dash & console, but I have yet to fix the head unit wiring that was cut up.

Very nice information Chris, yes please use the connectors for the speaks, it makes life easier.

[chrisstephenson]

Man Chris this is what I’ve been doing for years on all the foxs I’ve had👍🏻👍🏻 this is what happens when you have OCD! I remember getting the install kits and I’m like “I’m not screwing in to my dash like that”

[AnniLX]

Very informative! I'm dealing with this exact situation and it's frustrating, brand new interior and that "wallet holder" flying out everytime I'd touch the gas a little, lol

[ScottCentre]

I've been doing the same on all my foxes for years! Thank you for informing more people to hopefully save some more center consoles.

[CalypsoCoyote]

Good idea. I rock stock stereos but nice to know about the wiring too

[jasongomez]

Always love to see 👀 new things to do for our foxes

[michaeljohnson]

“We’re just not being hacks.” LOL Great, informative video for new Fox owners.

Looking good! Looks like things are nice and busy. I ;m in MD. Ai'm about to look at an 86 SVO. I used to own one back in 2004. It actually looks really nice...

Love the video! Great tip for keeping the interior minty!

[foxbody]

Nice clean install!! There's nothing worse than hacked up wiring... I just went through some of this a week ago! Awesome video!

[Riffs_Garage]

im right there with you. i cant stand to work on a car thats had the radio installed half-assed!

[dennish]

When I have anything to my car I always took the angle of "what if I want to undo this" Yeah it may take a few extra minutes or parts but if you ever want to undo it, it can be undone easily.
Thanks for the good video.

[rworden]

Great video! Just replaced my factory radio and no holes 🙏

[bobanmilz]

You can modify a 1993 Cobra R radio delete plate also.

[floydmarseeii]

Great information!!! It would be nice if there was more information on the earlier foxes 🦊. Mine’s a 85

[macjohan]

Best explained on Youtube. I will do exactly like this. Thanks!
