thoughts?

i don't think its out yet

not sure if it even fits our double din dashes without special fascia

midnight AMG

talk about quality custom build...


@kevwood: what do you think?

Flame3g

Man they did a great job...

bheng

very nice.

but def looks like you are gonna need a custom dash to fit...

Kevwood

I always appreciate quality work when it comes to custom car audio, absolutely loved being in that game and will be again here pretty soon I hope...

The unit looks great but as I said in the other thread, the resolution is on par with 6 and 7 inch screens so you're actually going to have an image that's bigger, but less clear. In the end, it's just for a car so whatever blows your fur back

midnight AMG

as always - thanks for the audio input..

just thought it interesting the care and attention paid to making a custom fascia!

midnight AMG

do you know of any head units that have voice activated address entry?

the 2011 pioneer's did but the HU was slow as hell

Kevwood

Not of the top of my head, no. I'd have to do some digging around, I remember a few guys complaining about the voice entry on the Pioneer, everything gets better in time. Take Siri for example, the base software, Dragon was pretty good when it was released, then it was improved quite a bit (it's what came on my iPad3), Siri was a big jump and already an update is coming promising much better interaction/understanding.

I'm guessing that at CES 2013 we're going to see quite a few Bluray in-dash units with quite good voice interface.

it should fit. the screen is bigger but its a standard double din size. this is the unit i might buy. i have my dash kit!

midnight AMG

hey omega! you have a 2009 like me...where'd you get your double din dash kit?

I had to buy mine from the UK! (Still waiting for delivery)

i cant wait to get this build going. had a few expenses come my way and had to put it on hold. im really leaning towards that Alpine 8". as for speakers i want jbl 660GTI. i already have my amps 2 jl audio HD amps. HD600 and HD1200

midnight AMG

ok good to know! I just got kinda nervous because of international ordering...

I emailed the vendor about time frame and they never got back to me

where did you have it mailed to ? which state?


All i have so far is a Rockford Fosgate T1 12" sub + Rockford Fosgate 500 monoblock amp very happy with it so far

Kevwood

Looking forward to seeing your system come together omega, hopefully I'll have a thread up on mine in the next little while.

omega48er

Thanks Kev, never liked stock sound systems in any car. i would never pay 3k+ for stock navi and bose or HK upgrade.

@ Midnight AMG
im in NEW YORK, Queens.
rockford makes some solid products.
im running a Boston Acoustics SPG555 sub in their factory ported box. this thing slams. rated at 1000w rms and 2000w peak. ill be feeding it 1200w. i need another 1200-2k depending on what navi i go with. im looking at the alpine 8" unit but might settle for the new Pioneers for the price. the other unit i was looking at was kenwood 990x? their new flagship model.
i just want the Alpine bc its 8" lol. another unit i was actually looking at was the new JVCs bcause they have iheartradio app built in and their maps look good but its rated 2.5 volts. i want atleast 4 and up.

hopefully the tweeters fit in the stock location, if not i was looking at getting custom Apillars made.

and Kevwood cant wait to see your audio build. i love your car build over all. i wish i had more money lol but im 22 working and college so its all fair game

bheng

1000w rms.... lol DAMN

no rattle?
im running a 600w rms and i think thats a lot already HAHAHA

btw im running pioneer's avic z110bt and love it
