New England B.S. Thread

I slowly built my system in my early 20's, now I don't even think about what comes with a vehicle anymore because I know it's not staying.

 

I planned on ripping everything out of my truck when I got it. Thats why I didnt want the JBL upgrade for ~$1K.

I put in a Pioneer Nav, kicker 6.5's, 2 12" pioneer shallow mount subs and a hifonics 1000 watt amp for around what it would have cost for the factory "upgrade"

 

I don't mind the stock setup . I've had systems in every car I've owned until I was 24 then I stopped due to being deaf.
Last system I built was in my single cab ranger.
Jl audio 8" sub in a custom built center console box I built.
Jl audio component setup
2 jl amps .
Sounded great . Not a boom boom system just overall great sound .

2000 Malibu
Stock everything . Wired a 1000w amp custom sub box and a 12" jl audio 12w6 . 146db boom machine lol .

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmhmmmm!!!

 

My plan is to upgrade speakers and then the HU. I just like all the options that the stock HU has. The Bazooka tube would be nice but I need the floor space for when the fam is with me

 

Alex, I'm speechless...

 

Don't forget wiring and soundproofing. I actually might sound deaden before messing with the speakers or HU. I've heard just sound deadening can make a world of difference.

 

I think you might be disappointed with the sound you get with aftermarket speakers and the factory deck. A head unit is expensive, but a really nice addition

 

HUGE difference!

 

I went on crutchfield and they don't list the 6x9s for my truck prob cause they don't have the adaptors to fill the factory hole. I thought about cutting up the stock speakers to use them as the adaptor

 

I have a decent HU, the speakers do sound alright with it. They just can't handle bass at higher volumes.

 

Ya the sound proofing would be done at the time the speakers were done and the wires run

 

Yup but anything will be better than what I have now

 

That ain't my sub. That was one posted last night on T4R.org lol.

I'll post a pic of my enclosure when I get to my truck

 

I have a like new pioneer HU that I used for about a year. Hi-pass crossover, sub outs, iPod control, Bluetooth and more! I'll let it go cheap!

I only upgraded to get a backup camera (so I don't ruin the rest of my truck)

This thing sounds GOOOD and is powerful

 

How cheap

 

$200 OBO with all the manuals and stuff

I bought it for $400 and change

 

Can you change the display colors?

 

Nope, but I can change the colors of your interior . This radio is what got me into gauge swapping lol

It's seriously an amazing radio though. 7 band EQ with sub control. You can set which frequencies are sent to the sub. It sounds great, which is why I bought it

 

I had that same HU it has good audio and a plug in for external mic.
