How do you install a new stereo for a Ford Contour?

Answer 1

This question really depends if you are going to be installing just a new head unit, a subwoofer, an amp, or a combination. Installing an amp: # Buy a amp wiring kit. Make sure that you get big enough wire for the amount of power that you are going to be pushing to the speakers. # Pop your hood and find your battery. Set the power wire close to your battery but don't attach it yet. Unravel the power cord and make sure that there is enough room for you to work with when putting in the fuse box. # On your firewall, find a grommet hole and work the power wire through the grommet hole. Make sure that you don't pull the power wire too far which won't allow you to position everything corectly under the hood. # Go to the kicker pannels on the door and pop them off. They are usually snap on so slowly pull them off. # Run your power wire along the left side of the car (looking from the back). # When you get to the back seat, lift up the edge of the seat a push the power wire underneath. Push your hands in the crease of the seat and try to find the wire. From there, you can pull it through into the trunk. Once you have your amp set up, you can attach your fuse box and attack your power wire to the battery terminal.
