It sounds good. You've exceeded bandwidth so I can't see anything.

I agree, sounds like a great system. Wish we could see it.

I am also quite anxious to see your pics as I just ordered a carputer. Have you researched wi-fi antennas or back-up cameras?

Damn I really need to finish mine. We must have at least 6 of these done already!!! Nice job!

did you buy teh XE bezel or modufy and bondo the stock one?

Looks really cool, but it looks like ALOT of work.

As for the subs what box is that did you make it? What is the maximum mounting depth? Thanks,

That Is Really Nice, The Pics Came Out Great. Note: Try And Clean Up The Wires Under Seat Before Hauling Friends, It Could Get Ugly.

It looks worse than it is.. All the wires are tucked, and it's deep under the seat.. I want to make some sort of cover, but you can't see them at all unless you get down.. And comfortably I can sit back there without a worry, but I can stick my foot deep under the seat and feel them... Not a biggie, but it'll be fixed! :-)

For the dash I bought the double din from courtesyparts for $40ish, then cut out a hole for the monitor frame.. I bondoed it in, then sanded the frame completely down so no frame is around the screen, but left the bottom switches and carved it out so that is the only thing that sticks out.. I have before and after of those, I'll have to find them.

The sub box I got off of ebay.. For $100 shipped, I figured just buy it instead of spending all the time and over half of that to do it myself.. I had a box carpeted once and it was $60, so I was fine with it. It holds 2 10" subs downfacing with the amps both mounted underneath in the center area.. I believe it has 6" or 6.5" of depth.

smoketitan · 07-01-2005, 01:04 PM

but dude tha DASH IS TIGGGGHHTT!!!

is that painted, and if so how did you match the color?

SEMA paint or something?

bestatchess · 07-01-2005, 01:10 PM

Carputer sound into AUX jack? What cable required for this? Where to buy?

Carputer powered from lighter socket? Special cable/adapter required?

USB GPS working well?

Any significant noise from carputer fan?

Nice work on the dash bezel.
