How easy is it to fit a stereo-

EASY- You get your mate who does this thing for a living to do it,


I think my mate has a clarion headunit and cd changer - quite recent one- boxed and all that... £80 ish quid.

When I bought mine, I wanted to retain the boot space, so I got the smallest box I could, as afterall it is a shopping/work car!
