    Its usually easy enough to do it yourself, You will most likely need cables for the back of it and a new fascia face to cover the gaps, Always go to the local consort motor shop for these. What model is it do you mind me asking? Probably better off asking in motors if you could DIY.

    Wouldnt have a clue bout them, If your on the northside and near Phibsboro there is a lad on the Phibsboro road that does car audio stuff, not to pricey either from what I heard and does a good job. Recommended to me before but I didnt need him in the end and a fella that I work with got a few things done by him.
