I have read most of the posts here in audio and there is lots of great stuff, but I was wondering if there is any list or recipe for the items that will be needed to install a Double DIN Nav/DVD 7" screen HU into a late model C4 (1994)?

for example -- speakers, cables, amps if needed,
I know I'm asking for turn-key install and it may not be that simple. I see that lots of people are doing different things, but what I'm looking for is the consensus of install designs that looks the best and sounds the best with minimal fabrication.

If this has already been covered (which I'm sure it has somewhere) please point me in the right direction.

Thanks


I have a complete high end system in my car, so I can help a little. Andy is correct about removing the interior, it will make it much easier. It would also be a good time to install some sound deadening, makes a big difference. As for a nav unit in a C4, a good person to talk to is Goldcylon over on CF, he has one in his car he did himself. Also, take a look at this. DIYMA
This is a great way to "raise" the soundstage in your car w/o cutting up the door panels or dash. I would then look at a good four way amp, (two channels up front, two in back for the subs). Subs in the rear are a must for good sound. As for front speakers, remember that because the front area of our cars is so small, you have to be careful that the front speakers you chose are not too "bright". If they are, they will sound shrill w/ the windows up. I had a set of Focal Kp2's in my car before the Cantons I have now, and the Focals were too bright w/ the windows up.
The web site listed above is a good place to look for advice, and you can get some good deals on used equipment there as well.

Good luck,

Randy
