Mmmmmm your photo is inspiring me to get that spoiler. I want, I need. =)

Also what in-dash touchscreen is that?

[r3dbullz90]

Thx! i like the spoiler but i kinda like having a raised spoiler where theres space between the bottom of the spoiler and the trunk lid but oh well... The radio is a pioneer avh-p1400dvd. love the radio. can change the color of the buttons and the screen to match the color of the interior of the car. would recommend the radio to anyone. works with iphone/ipod/ipad and can use the pandora app on my iphone through the radio as well... the rims on your car(mikethemike) are nice, but i want to get 4 rear g37 19" rims. gonna be hard to find those lol.

[mikethemike]

Craigslist is your friend Thats where I got mine.

And if you ever change spoilers, let me know for sure =D

When you say "blow through" do you mean ported into the cabin? Curious as to where you would put the port. Interested...

[r3dbullz90]

Lol alright I'll let you know haha... It won't be for awhile tho... But yah the port will be cut in the rear deck and the box will be in the trunk... No trunk rattle ftw... Haha

[DJ_B_Easy]

Rear deck could work. You would have to do some major cutting/bondo to do so though. You could remove the two 6" x 9" and use that area. Another option would be to remove one half of the rear seat and build it into there, you could also mount your amps there. Thats what I did.

[r3dbullz90]

Yah I work at a custom car audio shop so we r gonna cut and make a custom rear deck and stuff...

[DJ_B_Easy]

Oh, well then you are good to go!

[r3dbullz90]

Yah hoping to have it done by November... Gonna take awhile to save up...

How much did the unit cost, if you don't mind me asking? and since you work in that field, how much do they usually charge for installing something like this?

[r3dbullz90]

Unit as in the radio? And if so it was 299 from crutchfield... And the box itself is upward of over a grand or more depending on what u want and wat set up and what you want it to look like...

1) If you need to install something please dont pay anyone other than me. Buy me a 12 pack and I'll help you out. Head unit is the easiest audio component to install.
2) I cant believe you (OP) purchase from Crutchfield while working at an audio shop? There are always better prices to be had.

[r3dbullz90]

was before i worked at the car audio shop... just started working at the shop last week and ive had the radio for 6 months now... and besides, crutchfield gave me free harness and dash kit... lol worth 55.96 or something lol...

[r3dbullz90]

after i get the system im gonna start with the performance mods... wanna get 4 of the rear g37 19" rims powder coated a darker silver/gray color, eibech lowering springs, then programmer, greddy ti-c exhaust, stillen headers, then stillen front bumper and a rear bumper from someone(havent decided yet),new spoiler, and i want a dark carbon fiber paint job, and other stuff... i havent thought of at this moment...

Hmm sounds tempting I shall start looking into some units!

[Irvxing]

I thought i was a badass with a single 12 in a sealed box and matted trunk
I agree with the OP pioneer AVH series head units are great affordable double dins.
Im using a AVH 3400 and im digging it
What 12s are you going to run? (please dont say kicker )

[DJ_B_Easy]

(please dont say kicker )

I run Kicker Comp VXS. Best frequency range and largest magnet + dual voice coil for the price. And I actually got them through a Best Buy accommodation when I was working there, think I paid about 1/4 retail. They're not bad, but definitely not the best.

[r3dbullz90]

I'm gonna be running 2-12" alpine type r's on a alpine mrx-m240. Then I'm gonna get another alpine amp to power my 4 Rockford pro 6's and my super tweeters...

I'm just biased because i have bad experience with kickers

[r3dbullz90]

i dont like kicker cuz there to popular and everyone thinks there amazing when they arent really...

[DJ_B_Easy]

Well yeah, for the price though at the time it was my best option. I definitely am not a fan of their square woofers, everyone loves them and I think they are terrible. So sloppy, not tight at all.

[r3dbullz90]

Yah the square woofers suck... I'd take alpine over them anyday...
