I got a iPod Touch, and wanted a way to hook it up to the factory radio. Well, I have learned FM tuners don't work well, and a adapter kit to make it work with the factory GM radio is 139$ USA Spec iPod® Interface Connects your iPod to select 1994-02 GM factory radios at Crutchfield.com
So I figured for 10$ more, I might as well upgrade to a higher powered headunit that has all the features I would like, and for 70$ more, I can get my steering wheel controls back (but at a later point for my budget.)

Lucky for me, the previous owner of my car installed JL Audio Separates in the front, and JL audio 6x9's in the back. I can't remember the model #'s now, but I looked them up once, and a couple years ago, they were the top of the line for the front, and the mid-model for the 6x9's.
I also have laying around in my basement an old SAS 10" Bazooka tube, and don't laugh......a 100W Sherwood Amp that I bought new in 90-91? and it still appears to power up, so I figure I might use this as well. Looks like this but a 50x2 or 100x1
So, I think I can get a basic stereo going for 149$ from crutchfield + some weekend time......
Anyone familar with the crutchfield install faceplates? It states it sticks out 1" or so, and wonder if I can get this a bit more flush?
