I love my new system and it sounds great! I have to thank the guys at Stereo-In-Dash.
They did a great job and really stand by their work.

Also. I have dynamat installed in the trunk and around the speakers so I don't get that terrible rattling noise. :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


im wanting to do the same thing to my car.

does the flip out touch the big vent right above it?

what about the trip computer and the buttons below that?

Nope, the big nob on the right (seen in pic #4 in closed position) lets you adjust the screen so it doesn't hit the vent. It will remember the position you set so it never hits the vent!
My specific screen is the only one I know that will do that too. Not saying i'm an expert on them, but the 7" I had before knocked up against it every time.

I doesn't hit the trip computer or the buttons, but it does block them. That doesn't bother me because if i'm watching the screen i'm not watching the trip computer anyway. :)

how much were the JL subs? plus how much RMS for each sub 250? 300?
i wanna get 2 10" subs.
and how much RMS does that amp have?

I want to say they were 79-89 each, not including the box or install.

Their are 250 RMS each.

I think my amp is a 500/1v2 (500 W RMS @ 1.5 ohm - 4 ohm (11V-14.5V)), but I don't know for sure without looking at it.

would the hot air blowing in from the main vent over heat the headunit in the winter time?

Not if you keep the vent closed. :)
 


its not what pleases me.

its whats pleasing to YOUR ears.

I found the JL's to lack where most small drivers lack. Midbass.

Also the high end was harsh between 8-15 kHz and non existent above that.

The harshness most likely was due to the Alpine deck they were paired with.
 


Fair enough. I've been wondering what kind of music 1800collect and yourself listen to that make you want to take car stereo to a level of insanity, this is infact a serious question not sarcasm.
 
Wasn't expecting Maiden. I've always been fine with a simple front component, rear coaxial and single sub set up running the comp's and sub off a nice 4ch with plenty of deadning material. Guess I'm just not that picky, which is great since I'm already broke, no need to get anymore hobbys.
 
I spend more time listening to metal than any other genre.

Getting picky costs money.... Hence putting the audio thing on hold for a while.
