You have to hear it, i've done systems with 30 band eq's and fancy digital sig processors... and this has to be one of the best yet. completley simple and sonds clean.

how much did you spend on that alone?

[Pseudonym]

save your money on the dynamat and use Raammat (http://www.raamaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi) instead. works amazingly. i personally use it in my car and previous installs and have read countless reviews from people who share my praises.

[TLontheDL]

is it cheaper?

[Pseudonym]

muuuuch cheaper.

All sound quality and its amazing. But if turned up you can hear and feel me comin towards ya.

[TransformCelsior]

bull crap, stop being fooled by internet car audio forums and brand names.

You can use an aftermarket deck and still inhibit various gremlins such as ground noises etc. You can use a oem deck with quality converter and get ZERO noise and besides, MOST of today's aftermarket headunits are JUNK, you'd be lucky if the quality was as goods a oem headunit.

the fact is, equipment has little to do with it. the install and knowing your equipment is more important.

100% TRUE

[Pseudonym]

i agree that instal is AT LEAST 95% of a great sounding setup. and yeah, youre right that most aftermarket head units are garbage, but the same can be said about oem. its all trial and error with this hobby. i was speaking in generalities about the oem radio. its very rare that u will find an oem + converter that will be on par with most of the higher end, less bling based, more SQ oriented decks. though, its becoming more common these days with the higher end OEM setups being more focused on great sound.

and what makes u think im being fooled by brand names? look through my list of gear, the only thing youll find that really has a big brand name attatched to it is the head unit. and its a well known fact that this is one of alpines better head units of recent years.

[v8crown666]

in my toyota crown i have jvc dvd/cd full face single din
a 7 inch widescreen mounted in the factory screen position i took the original out due to not being able to read japanese.
5 3/4 inch jvc kevlar components in the front
5 3/4 inch 2 way kevlars in the rear doors
1 12 inch 500watt clarion dual voice coil sub in custom made sealed box
and a 4x125 rms clarion vnet amp.
i just have basic wiring because its not a huge system but i only listen to metal and its pretty friggin loud so it will be fine for now. until i get the money for a roof mount screen in the rear between 12- 15 inch.

Stock Bose System:thumbsup:
how can u leave it stock bro? personally i think the bose in our cars are terrible. maybe if i listened to classical 24/7 it would suffice.


anyway i got a kenwood excelon kvt 819 in dash fiberglassed in with mb quart Q series components all around.
2 infinity amps 1300 watt n 4x112 or somethin (changing to mb quart soon as my exterior is done)
pioneer premier 12" carbon fiber sub.
Oh n a kinetik 1400 battery that itd like to move to the trunk and put a powermaster up front.

also used a grand worth of sound deadening on top of a bulk pack of dynamat xtreme. ceramic heat and sound absorbing paste along with other floor vinyl foams from secondskin audio. i recommend their products over all other competitors. their 'damplifier pro' is so many times better than dynamat xtreme i kick myself for spending the extra on dynamat on my last 3 cars when i could have used second skin.
google sound deadener showdown and you'll see why.

[Platinum-VIP]

damn i need to step up the game!

you could say you like overpaying. when you pull that 4050xxk out check out the guts, then check this out:

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc188/BLACKonBLACK98/DSCF03713.jpg

tell me what you paid and i'll tell you what i paid.

[MoWGLi]

No, I have the front door speakers and tweeters, then I have the rear door speakers. Just the rear decks were taken out. With subs the deck speakers are useless. Plus even on a stock Y33 system, it sounds better when the decks are removed or at least unplugged.

[chaotic_mindz]

$150 for the pair. nib.

CV EXL350.2 = Arc 2100xxk
CV EXL400.4 = Arc 4050xxk

From where?

[OG]

i bought them off a member on another forum. when cv cleared them out they were on ubid even cheaper than what i paid. you can still find them on ebay pretty low. i actually just listed mine at $180.

[Pseudonym]

i think i saw your FS thread on diyma. im still considering those exl's for my sisters uber budget setup.

[OG]

yeah... that's me. i don't know why but nothing seems to be selling. guess times are hard all over. with the cashback offer there are some nice prices.

i've got a pretty complete budget system if she's interested.

interesting setup. the rear bumper sensors with the camera drilled in is kinda busy in my opinion but i know its very functional. quad setup is different. never see quad f50's.

[marksport]

Camera was to be used as a chasecam. Quad tips was part of the package. Just as rare as the supercharger system.

[jaynick808]

speaking of that hows that rebuild going ive been checking the forums but no updates. i hope its going well.

[Pseudonym]

i just sold my tru amp for a zuki eleets and traded my arc cxl2050 for an arc ks1000.1. my new setup once i get it all in there will be

alpine 9835 running active
seas lotus performance tweeters
im gonna swap out my lotus performance mids for my RE XXX mids or the focal k2p mids.
im gonna replace my ascendant audio atlas 12 for my avalanche 15.
the zuki will run my mids/tweets
the arc will run the avalanche

its gonna be serious.

[marksport]

not much as I've been waiting for some custom parts before test assembly. Then I'll get the transmission rebuilt for the extra power and looking for new suspension setup.
