919 Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Here are some pics from my installation. Both stereos work through a 3 way input (via toggle switch in dash). Left is input 1, center is XM, and right is input 2, currently only one input is used. My good friends at my my local stereo shop did the installation as I did not have the time. I also have 2 10" JL subs (no pics as I have not decided how to wrap the boxes). Anyway here is the pics: From the Left: From the Right: From the Left again: From the Left once more: It has a Hard drive: The fuse under the hood, had to go with the blue wire Unit folded down: Unit ejected: Whole system: .

blackhawk Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 That is a great idea for mounting a new head unit! Does the Sony deck also run through the Bose speakers? I also noticed that you have squiZZ xL on XM programmed, that is my favorite channel… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
919 Posted July 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Yeah it all runs throught the Bose system. It powers all the stock speakers and I have a Punch 200 on the 2 10's. And Squizz is my fav too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 What did the installer use to interface the Sony deck to the bose speakers?? I talked to the installer that put my punch 10’s and punch amp in and he told me that there is no interface that would allow the after market deck to power the Bose, that he knew of. He said that I would have to replace all of the Bose speakers and interface the RDS stock head unit and hide it under the console…That is such a idea to mount a new head unit in the open dash spot. Here some more for Ya… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Pretty sharp looking system. I guess you had to get rid of the lighter sucking up all of that juice, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
919 Posted July 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 The Sony unit just plugs into the input device, I will try to get more info, ala part #, for you. It is made by periphrial (sp?). It just plugs into the stock unit an allows for 2 additional inputs. The Sony plugs into that from its RCA outputs. The stock unit powers the whole unit with exception of the subs. They used a loc off the sub amp to go to the punch for the 10's. And the cigarette lighter is in the glove box, I usually have my radar detector plugged in, you know because I drive slow!!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawk Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 QUOTE (919 @ Jul 28 2003, 07:36 PM) Squizz is my fav too!!! squizz is the best channle on the radio! or maybe boneyard Here are the Channels that I have programmed: 1.Channel #48 (Squizz xM) this is my favorite channel! 2. Channel # 42 (XM liquid metal) Heaviest music around, death metal and all. The cool part about XM is it shows the current playing band and song titles. Most of the bands on this channel I have never heard of before or wish I would have heard of earlier. This is the heaviest of heavy bands. I don’t listen to this channel all the time because at stoplights people give me looks like I am Satan or something. 3. Channel#43 hard rock new music, up and coming bands. 4. Channel # 41 (bone yard) hard rock. 5. Channel #82 (electronica) all rave music and the best DJ’s from all around. 6. Channel #152 (Extreme XM comedy) Funniest damn station I have ever heard, all uncut, just like stand up comedy at the improve. 7. Then I have various sports and talk channels programmed; there is a bunch of these so you will have to pick the ones that you can stand to listen to.

dcairns Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Wow, that is a pricey add on, $1,000 !!! Pretty cool having a hard disk to store you music to, instead of a CD-changer. I wouldn't mind having something like that, if I didn't have to buy the amplifier section. I am happy with the existing stereo, just adding a hard disk music library would be neat.

BenKey Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Dave....you worried about expensive add-ons? Say it isn't so. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Well, for the part I would be interested in, a hard disk with MP3 playing ability, a $1000 is rather expensive. You can get an I-Pod with 15 GB for $400, and it is portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
919 Posted July 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I would not have this unit if it was not for my friends at Sound Vision. I have been friends with the owners for a long time, plus I do any networking/computer support for them. At the time it was $1500, now they have dropped the retail down. I think Alpine has an add-on unit coming out though that is around 800 retail, no tuner just hdd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps1 Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 919 what function is the stock radio on to play the HDD I'm looking into adding the alpine unit, but I thought it had to be FM modulated, and that affects sound quality abit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Here is one way to splice in a MP3 or HD system to the existing stereo Sound Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
