Re: stereo in the console

Here is how I did mine in my old Jimmy. The second link shows the head unit in the console.

Re: stereo in the console

I bought an antenna extension and the black plastic under dash stereo mount.

Re: stereo in the console

Here is a pic of the stereo that came with my blazer. It is one of the remakes that your favorite vendor will have. The amps are under the back seat with speakers in the side panels and thumpers behind the rear seat.
