2007-08 KW T800 Radio swap help?!!

There is a internet site that makes adapters for all radios and makes of trucks, but I don't remember who it is. If the factory wiring harness is color coded, you can just make jumper wires.

I'm getting ready to replace the crap box in my 387 with a Alpine, then I'm going to replace the speakers, then add a subwoofer and a amp.

I must have my tunes.

The cover should pop right off the speaker base. Use a tape measure to measure the bracket. I would suggest good speakers, but if they are the small round style, you are not going to get much bass out of them. Get quality speaker such as Infinity, JBL, Alpine, or Rockford. anything less than $90 a pair for the smaller speakers is a waste of cash in my opinion.

Here is a good site for speakers and radios, but they won't know anything about your truck www.crutchfield.com.

Heck, that's easy to rewire I have about 16 wires coming out of my 387 and they are all color coded BLACK

 

He seems like a really nice guy. I talked to him several times on the phone and his emails are prompt and well written.

 

I've been told the KW's use the same harness as the newer (90's and up) VW cars. I haven't verified that personally but its what I'll be trying when I change my radio soon. You can get the VW harness at Wallyworld or Best Buy for around 10 bucks. I would think they would be the same on the Petes since there both made by Paccar.

 

Truth. I'm installing my Alpine in a few days
