Exist2Inspire · 06-27-2009, 07:00 AM

I'll post my pictures a lot later. I'm prepping for this big show in Fargo, ND in August, and would prefer not to have anything post till then. Maybe some teasers here and there

EvilE981 · 06-28-2009, 03:29 AM

Id say im ready to see you in the spl lanes, then i saw you glassed in your subs, and type r's .. lol

so im assuming you were going for the "fit n finish" look over spl...

ak_ka · 08-13-2009, 12:35 AM

I too just noticed this thread.

Mine is a factory fitted "premium" system, which thankfully came as standard on my model(BMW 335i).

Logic 7 by Harmon Kardon. 13 speakers including 2 subs under the front seats.
Plenty of connectivity(usb, ipod, mp3), and plenty of boom when I need it

But looks ugly

york weir · 08-20-2009, 12:34 AM

I just run a stock 7" GPS with 5 channel surround-sound DVD Audio, 6 disc changer, Cassette and XM.

Animo · 08-24-2009, 02:16 AM

I run an old Alpine CDA-7864 AM/FM/CD receiver rated at 60 watts x 4 channels. No amp. It powers 4 Infinity Kappa 682.7cf 6x8 coaxials. And one pair of Infinity Kappa 692.7cf 6x9 coaxials. There is a 12 inch Pioneer shallow mount TS-SW3014D subwoofer mounted in a Pioneer UD-SW12b enclosure, powered by a 1000 watt Panasonic amp. There is also a 13 inch CRT TV that will need a digital conversion box or upgrade to a new LCD HDTV, and a VHS player that will be upgraded to a AC/DC DVD or BluRay if any are available.....haven't found any yet.

My ride is a high top conversion van.

Jbald87 · 08-24-2009, 12:26 PM

I guess Ill add my 2 cents worth of stereo,

Pioneer AVH-P4900 6.5 inch Touch screen,
With Pioneers XM unit and iPod Connections
JL Audio 500/1 Powering 2 JL Audio 12W3v3's
With a cheapy 1.2 Frad cap. And For the door speakers FTW for you guys Bose.

All this pushed under the back seat of an 06 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab.

The local JL dealer that put my Viper remote start/Sec. system in said that it sounded louder then what it really should be for what I have. Now to just upgrade my Bat. and charging systems.

kartik · 08-27-2009, 05:38 PM

do u mean setting home theatre system in your car?

tootall82103 · 11-26-2009, 08:21 AM

I'm running the cheapest Kenwood cd player I could find with 2 Pioneer 6x9s. Total cost. $140!

rock on

gvortex7 · 11-28-2009, 03:28 PM

This is what I have, although my dash is not quite the same as this. It's a pretty good little Kenwood system. I also have 6.5 in components speakers in the front and 6/9's in the back. One of these days I'll be getting a good amp and a couple of 10 in subs in an enclosure to put in the trunk. It's not really a priority right now, as I'm quite satisfied with the system's sound as it is.

I never said it was one.

The original question asks "What's in your auto? Systems check!" And that's what I have.

bigbull2984 · 12-08-2009, 06:40 PM

Eclispse 8053 16v headunit
Alpine SPX F1 3 way speakers in the front
Alpine SPX woofer in rear doors
JL 12w7 in ported box tuned to 29 hz
JL 500/1 and JL 300/4
and whole care is dynamat and stinger expert wires.

Did the system 5 years ago. Now I look back and its a waste of $6,000.

bighouse · 12-08-2009, 11:54 PM

JL Audio 250/1 powering 1 JL Audio 8w3v3
JL Audio 300/2 powering my CDT audio ES-62i gold series
