what do the good brands run for?
ive seen some for like 400 and ive seen some for like 1200

anything thats decent, but not too expensive either?

kinda like a panasonic, good, but not quite as good as the sony
(not necessarily true, just an example)

If your looking for a double din unit, save your money, because looking for a $400 unit in that size is not going to yield what you want.

The unit i have is the JVC AVX2 DVD unit with an Alpine center channel. The JVC is relatively cheap now, as there are new models out, but for what you want, it should be the unit for you.

I think radar detectors are an area that you're doing yourself a disservice by getting the best of the best...

I feel you're better of not having it at all and sticking to reasonable limits above the speed limit.

One the subject of head units, for <$300, you can get an Alpine CDA-9885 w/ iPod connection - it's a great unit: I have one in my BMW and love it. Only reason I'd get something different is to get a 9887 with the Burr Brown DACs.

Hey great start, if you really want a great sound get a EQ and you would have no need for that switch to turn the subs up and down

 

[Jrucch]

cool hood lights btw

i'll check it out

do the cobra ones I posted not work? I cant justify spending $300 on a radar detector

i do agree. i also have a jvc/dvd player. have it hooked up to 2 7in screens. but JVC would be the way to go.

just in case someone wanted a pic and please excuse the mess.

 

[l4zy415]

Do they make tv's that can retrack themselves just like the dvd decks?

I went with 3 10's because I like Alternative as well as hip hop and as far as a dash unti goes you only need a pioneer. The pioneer lets you adjust High Pass/Low Pass Filters, EQ, Sub On/Off, and many more functions. Its the best bang for the buck and it has the best Tuner availible on the market.

Oh we got camel jokes huh.....I just noticed that Wyatt is dropping out of the A game and that Business man got his car looking like something out of a Paul Wall video (tight ass sh!t homie). yeah sorry guys I am out of commish for a bit wont be back until July to visit and then back here kissing camels and tossing dirt until December '08. But I dont want ot hi Jack this thread. Tell that man to get a Pionner and stop playin around with all that AudioVox crap. I promise you you wont spend a lot if ou go to the Pawn shop or the Flea Markets and you will get the sound you're looking for. Or go the Best Buy route like I did and pay a little more for a warranty (that will never be used).

 

[B+O]

I went balls out with my first system and probably paid about as much as you did. It helps paying attention to sales and eBay

As for your sounds, wow...coulda warned me the video was gonna be amped too :rofl: sounds like it beats. but 10s?


Oh Jeremy, 15s....as long as you get a box that can slide all the way back, will fit fine...

Mine didn't slide all the way back. so i lost a goo 30% worth of trunk floor simply from that.

I had/Have 15" MB Quart DWE 354s, XTANT 302a 2channel amp, stock headunit. i wired everything to run at about 600watts RMS. it pounded, but it wasn't done to pound. i wanted clean, tight, deep bass that could knock when i wanted it to. So it was stupid clean when i turned the bass down, but got indignant and loud when i cranked it up...

Made my friend's stomach upset .

Granted it wasn't the hardest hitting on the block, or at the Ft. Washington meet (that went to Cudaman with his dual amp setup 2 720s powering each 15" sub), it definitely held its own against most people out there. and when it came time to blast some Bombs over bahgdad or something with stupid kicks that can hang a sub up, mine shined through.

AS for the headunit. I liked the stock headunit! it was great, still wouldn't change my setup...other than completely remove the headunit and place just a touch screen monitor with no buttons on its face and do a Mobile PC system. The Stock headunit kept me safe from people breaking into cars...they hit everyone's car but mine. because of the stock headunit.
