Default Newbie help for audio installation/upgrade??

Im wanting to upgrade the stereo system in my truck (2001 Silverado) and I have never done one before. Im good with electronics (work on computers for a living) but I don't want to make any mistakes.

Can anyone recommend a website or a company that maybe does kits? Whats the story on the Crutchfield stuff? Anyone have a good or bad comment on Crutchfield for an audio newbie??

Im thinking head unit...speakers all the way around and an amp or two.

Thanks! :cool: :cheers: :seeya

Crutchfield sucks. Schosche makes some good kits. Not sure of the exact spelling. I would go to a sterio shop and compare a few. Good ones usually have a couple of different makes in stock. Since its not a blose, just get a harness and it should go right in. Use crimps, not tape.
