So this thread is for people to talk about there stereos, share pictures, propose future installs, and to use for a referance in the FD..


Please post up any problems you have and how you overcame them.. i kno many people will have the same problem and might not have the expericance in how to solve the problem..

I will upload a few DIYs for

Installing a Double Din facia kit and headunit
Installing wiring
Upgrading Speakers
Building the perfect 12" box for a FD

If anyone else has some DIYs post them up.. and if you know any easier way of doing somthing dont be afraid to tell me i did it wrong lol.

And also a few pics of my current progect

Good work guys. I've stopped mucking around with system since it'll cost a lot (and is very wasteful) if I try to upgrade any further.

Currently using Alpine l/o with a RF 4ch amp, MBQ splits up front, stock rear, and RF P2 sub. Installed by Lifestyle.

Haha keep it stock at least for a little while... IMO it wasn't bad for a $25k sedan! You'll appreciate it more as you upgrade it; and that being said, swapping over to the DDIN straight away seems almost stupid since you won't even have time to check the car for rattles or anything.

Rear shelf was my only problem.. but nothing a lilte foam cant fix muahahaha

i believe they come with brackets to not sure, to install single DIN and then u
can buy a $10 storage pocket to go underneath or sumthing

DMX? can u confirm?
