cheap is fine untill it gets tacky and fubared. there is a line between cheap and not wanting to spend just enough to make things work...its $17 US to make his system work right and look right. 17 f--king bucks. to make that expensive head unit function right. sorry, thats not cheap....thats a bad idea.

Yea dude ONLY $17 bucks. Why don't you send it to him so he can get a better setup going?

sorry, i will be the first to admit i am over opinionated and act like a massive prik half the time. it just blows my mind when i see people hook stuff up the wrong way to save like 20bucks. i flip out when people cut up the factory door speakers and hang a set of $200 components to a 1/8" of cheesy plastic then wonder why it all rattles and sounds like sh-t. all they needed was a old speaker grille or a set of $10 spacers.

i mean, i know times are tough economically in the US right now, but, something thats under $20 to make your system sound, look, and perform nice is worth it in my opinion.

as far as the mounting plate, if you cant get a cheap $10 one from walmart or a local stereo shop, check out partsexpress.com, chances are they might have it. im sure there are companies out there making them. at any rate, for a temporary fix, i would disconnect the factory radio to remove it from the equation. i know they have the wiring harness adapaters at wallworld, so you can at least properly patch into the wiring harness without the cutting and slicing, and i bet if the factory radio isnt plugged in you wont have issues with your pioneer deck.
