New Audio system going in
 

Niceeeeee. Let me know what kind of price you get on the head unit. I reallly like that one

I care:)
Getting the same unit this week and all needed adapters,
Just want to find out if I can use the OEM microphone by the rear view mirror to hook up to the new unit.
I can always mount the mic that comes with the unit in that spot, but it would save me some time and wiring to that location.
Maybe you or your installer can figure that one out?

I purchased the OEM audio plus system. Its getting installed tonite
I could of went the route and just pieced it all together but I wouldn't feel confident enough that it would sound as crisp as the OEM audio plus one does. I've been in plenty of cars with systems and they most of the time seem to unbalanced. Too much highs not enough lows or the exact opposite. But most just sound stupid loud. Don't get me wrong I like to crank up my jams but I like everything to be crisp and clear. Plus the fact the whole systems plug n play really makes it ideal for easy removal and reinstallation

GodSays that looks like a great system your putting in. I own an Audio/Video company in the Dallas area so I get decent deals on electronics. I think it will be a very clean look
and should be easy to tweak the sound just how I like it. I have that same HU in my jeep
and its by far the fastest with hardly any lag time. It also looks the part. Garmin Nav is so easy to use and the maps are great.

Exactlyyyyy. Some headunits are very laggy and in my opinion kills the whole experience. Pioneers were laggy and the GPS was not up to snuff compared to the Garmin GPS in the kenwood

Glad were on the same page. Maybe ill buy my head unit from you lol

We do commercial and residential but our vendors rep allot of car audio. I agree on the pioneer as far as being really slow. Also last year model Kenwoods were really slow but
they improved the processor and went back to hard buttons on the volume.

HEY GODSAAAY,

Let me know how that goes -- i am getting mine on THU i hope as well and still deciding to do it myself or just pay someone -- they have a video and it looks easy enough to do i think --- but im dying to hear it myself....


thx

Got it installed and it sounds great!

Think you can post some pics of what the sub woofer install looks like?

System sounds good and Sub looks good and is removable.

I'm hoping someone makes a replacement panel to go around the double din head units... that extra space would make my OCD go off the charts.

Very nice looking ! Please post more pics of the set up . I am an audio geek

More pictures please... :)

U didn't use the factory mic?

Oh G'Says.. , i decided to do it myself and about 4.5hrs later i was almost done... :) i couldnt unpack it fast enough. I ended up going to a local stereo shop just to have them help me punch the two YLW power cables thru the firewall into the engine compartment - i just was too dum to figure that out -- but once i powered up - i have been nothing but smiles...

I cannot ask for anything else -- i have had a headache in the last day of driving around too loud ... :lol:

those guys are true artists of the craft of 'audio'....
No more for me ...now i jsut need to refresh my iPOD music...

Lol glad you liked it

why do you keep your tv remote in the car LOL

What did that enclosure cost? It's been many years since I had this done:

I don't remember what I paid for subs + the enclosure at this point. I intend to do a 10" JL W3 or W6 almost exactly as you have.

I'll be using the JL Slash Series amps from my Jeep to power everything in the FR-S (500/1 for the sub and 300/4 for speakers) off of a pioneer nav unit w/ satellite radio, ipod, and BT.

May have to be a slow buildup depending on pricing.

System works well. They charged me 250.00 to build the box and another 450.00 for install of the whole system. I do have the Nav.(Garmin) setup and I think its the best on the market. HU looks good but it does stick out a little more than I would like. I think the bottom row of buttons stick out just a little to far. Focal speakers sound very good but I think I will put in some rear speakers for fill sound. Alpine AMP went under the seat and you dont notice it at all. The sub sounds good but if I was one of the younger guys you might want to go with dual 10s or 1 12. I dont know why they didnt use the factory mic but the bluetooth works great. I also got the beats antenna and the reception is very good.Last thing Dynomat your doors because these doors are very flimsy and light. Next up coilovers and new wheels and that should do it for now.

Good work bro! Looks tight!
