Taking a CD Player Out

[dan_in_darlo]

hey
I recently bought a punto sporting 98 and it came with a sony cd player but it sounds rubbish as it has no bass control or anti shock and i want it out
i had my old cd player from my previous punto but cant seem to get the sony player out as it has some kind of metal thing around it ( u get it wen u buy a cd player ) and its stoping it from coming out
Dose anyone know how to get it out without causing to much damage ?
or do i need to take it to halfrauds n get them to take it out ????

:worship: :worship: please help me !!!

i think u have to buy some kind of adaptor thing that u stick into some holes and it removees the whole stereo but im not sure... someone comfirm this?

 

[dan_in_darlo]

i cant seem to find holes to put anythink down to remove it

 

[birdpoo]

ah then i have no idea my firend but if it is a sony head unit, i have just bought one and that came with some sort of special tool to for removal and they are very flat so maybe look for a little slit somewhere around the headunit, and also can u take the fascia plate off?

 

[dan_in_darlo]

yeh i can take the plate off il have a look when its daylight lol
but i looked easyer and couldnt see much
also i bought 6x9 and the bass was out of this world and they have been sitting in my cupboard for 4months and ive put them in and they sound ****e do u think its cos of the headunit or cos they been used then took out and ****es build up inside them ?

 

[birdpoo]

nah its probably because of hte headunit. if it is a cheap headunit then it may not be able to handle the RMS (i think is the term) of the 6x9's. im not 100% on this though and i dont think the speaker will have anything inside them bro

cheers bud

sonys are two flat keys that go down the sides of the HU.

then you just bend back all the flaps on the cage to pull the cage out.

if it is a cheap headunit then it may not be able to handle the RMS (i think is the term) of the 6x9's.

It's the other way around - speakers handle power - amps (including HU amps) make power.
