jalexquijano Posted October 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2015 Sincé i already finished installing the AC i would like now to swap the aftermaket stereo with a newer model. I still have some doubts: 1) Should i install a Kenwood stereo or another Brand? 2) What model? 3) what is the wire gauge (awg) for the wire that goes from the battery to the stereo? 12 AWG? I wont be using any amplifier for subwoofers just the basic stereo an 4 speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuczesk Posted October 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 23, 2015 Kenwood is good. I recently bought and installed a JVC and 4 JVC speakers. I was really impressed by the price and quality. The stereo even has Bluetooth which works great. I used the same gauge or heavier than was coming out of the unit. From memory it was probably 16-18 gauge.

cbuczesk Posted October 23, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm not sure. That's from memory from a few months ago. But I don't remember having to use anything "heavy". I just looked at the instructions and it didn't specify a size. Use the same size that they used or larger. Just don't use smaller. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted November 8, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 8, 2015 Chuck,Does your JVC keep the proper time? I have had 2 different models of JVC's in the last 18 months where the clock has a mind of it own. Can set it, won't keep time, sets then reverts back 20 minutes a little while later. Found a lot of reviews with the same issue. If you can't make it keep time then I don't know how good it can be.Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
