Thats a crazy ass crossover.

How loud does that kind of sound setup get in the "cockpit"? I'd imagine that you can't hear very much.

Only bose speakers for now, but I got my deck taken care of :)

Bojangles, I am thinking about trading my unit in for that one. How do you like it? Do you have the NAV option? I am going to buy them together.
By the way, you should have it glassed in, so it would look more factory, like mine. http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...tnDSC00970.JPG |
nice I like that!
Yeah I love mine, I am getting the nav and tv after I get a couple other things done to the car. It is nice though that you can add them so easily. |

The guy who installed it said that the bose speakers sounded really good with the deck, as appoased to how the bose speakers can react to other decks. |

I would not recommend replacing the Bose speakers with aftermarket speakers to be powered on Head Unit power alone unless your Bose speakers are blown. There are a few speakers out there that would sound good with head unit power (17-20W RMS), but none of them can be found at Circuit City, Sound Advice, Best Buy, etc. Of course, good is entirely relative, but if you want any kind of bass response from your Polk, Infinity, Pioneer, etc. speakers, you will need them amplified. |

Thanks!
The trim actually came with the unit. I bought it off of ebay (new) and saved about $700. I had bestbuy install it for me to the tune of about $180. The install guy said it was a pain because of all of the bose wiring, but they always bitch, don't they? Fits perfect, is much better looking in person, and doesn't cover up the climate control!!! |

i got 2 infinity 12s, 550amps @ 2ohms, in a custom box. The box fits like a glove. i have turned it the other way and reinstalled the divider since i took these pics. i also did a better job of hiding the wires. either way it is more sound than an FD needs.

So, I went to Best Buy last year, to see what they had tyo say about installing a new head unit in my FD and the guy asks my car and year and looks somethin up on their database and tells me that they cant install a new head unit without taking out all the bose speakers. I couldnt believe it. So I wanted something cheap like a $100 head unit cuz my stock unit has gone out twice now (1st time guys at Mazcare gave me one for free that had lying around, and 2nd time I had to buy another used one). But dude was tryin to tell me that I had to switch out not only the head unit but all the speakers as well, so it would've been like $600, I was like no way. Actually, for the longest time I was using one of those portable Cd players with the adaptor, and when I put that beast on the highest bass, I could swear I got almost twice as much bass out of those bose speakers. It was like my mini amp. Anyways, so youguys have had no problems just switchin out head unit and keepin the stock speakers??
|
I got the same question as persuasio... can I just get a different head unit and keep the stock bose speakers?
|
I'm sorry but this is butt

Anyone interested in buying my headunit, and even the custom molded AC panel? See above for pics.

Ironic as it is, Best Buy installed my deck for me.

I'm impressed on the systems you guys have on your FD. My system is completly stock with a few blown speakers. I'm pretty much done with increasing the hp and now it's time to upgrade my audio system. :D |
