New receiver installed

[wyo_vr4]

I picked up a Clarion CZ401 receiver from Crutchfield. It was on sale for $110 and I found a $20 coupon so it was only $90 including free shipping plus wiring and mounting hardware. Features include HD radio, iPod controls, remote, front USB and external input, 4V/6 channel RCA outs with HPF/LPF and equalizer, MP3/WMA playback, and it's Sirius ready. I've installed a number of systems before so it went pretty smooth. And hey, the factory sub still works, which is nice. I always thought the Alpine system was pretty decent for a factory system but even this cheap Clarion unit easily outclasses it through the stock speakers. Now I want to upgrade the speakers too. Wonder what I can get for the stock system on eBay...

Anyways, check it out...

Looks similar. I have JVC reciever mounted using the same crutchfield adapter kit. I found some decent pioneer 3way speakers on closeout that I installed.

The pocket is worthless though.. I used to put my remote in there but it flys out everytime I hit the gas.

Agreed. I don't know why they bother with the pocket. It's pretty tight for all the wires back there. Could have used the extra space.

the pocket is handy on mine. but mine is below the radio. and tom get some skid resistant drawer material and put it in the pocket. should stay.
