HOW TO: Install Sound System In Lancer, Radio, Speakers And Subs

This will be a working progress where I'll update this thread with videos and more info in the weeks to come.

For now we have the CrutchField Master Sheet on the 2002+ Lancer.
This includes info on how to replace the factory radio and both front and rear speakers.

What they don't tell you is you will need to cut the factory wire harness off and splice wire to it with spade connectors on the other end of it to connect your new speakers.
Unless you have an adapter.
You will also need a 6 1/2" speaker adapter to get your speakers to fit, or you can drill new holes.

As far as I can tell this does not really pertain to our cars.
Good to keep in mind when you're unplugging wires however.

As you can see, very easy install.

Upgrading the big 3 video.
This made a big difference, car runs so much smoother now.

I will be changing my entire sound system and will keep you all updated.

I didn't get one from CrutchField.
Though I will be making a video on installing mine in a week or so.

There is no "stock" subwoofer in a lancer, so they don't have plans to put one in. There are many guides on installing subwoofers. It is really easy actually.
