    hi guys

    So new project this weekend is installing an Aftermarket CD/MP3 head unit in my 2005 ford falcon BA

    The interior is pretty basic. It has 6 CD changer audio system It works but sometimes wouldn't change the CD . Because my niece Isha put 2-3 coins in it :p

    So we decided to install same Sony headunit as in my mitsubishi.

    Interior doesn't have any empty slot to put the head unit.
    However we can get Aftermarket FACIA to install that.

    This is what my cars interior looks like:

    Today I changed the wires . I used wires that came with Sony speakers . now sound has really good quality . I think there was some loss in sound quality because the wires i used earlier were pretty slim and not that great

    the quality of the wires make a lot of difference in the quality of the sound, the need not be branded..but as long as they r thick enough(made out of copper), and of have good quality of insulation, they'll do the job...i learned this after i spent some dough on monster cables...:D hahaha...that whole company is a huge scam..!
