• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Pics to come soon hopfully...Once system is completed.

Found great deals so I used what I could get cheap. It should work out in the end.

HU: Alpine IDA-X100
Fronts: Alpine 6.5 Type R comp.
Rears: Alpine 6x9 Type R
Amp: Alpine 2/3/4 Channel 50Watts RMS x 4

To come...Alpine PDX-4.150

Sub and Amp not yet considered.
 
Nice setups people. Huge question where can I find an exsisting hole in my firewall to run the power cable from the battery to the amp? Or where would a good place to drill a hole for the cable?

the one i used was in the firewall down near the base of the steering column. alot of people use one thats somewhere over in the passenger footwell im not sure on the location of it though

Run it on the passenger side. The gromet is where the passenger would put their feet (maybe up a little higher), just pull back the carpet and you'll see it.
 
^ thanks for adding that i knew there was one over there i just didnt know where. i was hopping someone else knew that could add that and im redoing my whole wiring cause i ripped it all out a few weeks ago so i too am gonna be trying to find that one instead of running it all the way over to the drivers side which was annoying but worked.

*I FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER FORUM (http://slumz.boxden.com/showthread.php?t=419293) I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT*


Since there are so many different car audio brands out there i wanna put together a list of brands for car audio newbs. The brands will be ranked in different sections:




Horrible brands - avoid these brands at all cost, there a total waste of money.


Entry level brands - good for the first time car audio enthusistest, you get a great sound for a cheap price.


High quality brands - these are more expensive that entry level, but not rediculously expensive, since you get execellent sound that will be louder/cleaner that entry level brands.


Competition brands - these brands are the mother of all brands, prices are very expensive but if you can afford it these are the brands that win sound competitions at car shows.

Hey Bonnie, you should seriously consider getting one of the Humounts Head Unit mounts. It would really look great with your setup.

Here's a link to their 04+ kits.

90 bucks, really? Hmmmm I guess his pricing went up. I don't remember how much they were a few years ago but they weren't that much.
Looks pretty good :th_thumbsup-wink:

where do you get the install kit that doesnt stick out 2 inches past the dash? I bought a dash kit from wal mart last night and it sticks way out and is very unattractive!
