St. Jude Donor '08-'09
Year:1989
Model:Coupe
Head Unit:Kenwood KDC-MP732 (MP3/Sirius/OLED screen, built in GTech )
Processor: no sound processor, using just head unit and amps.
Front Speakers: Pioneer 4x6 in dash (competition series - will post model number later)
Rear Speakers: Pioneer 6x9 (competition series - will post model number later)
Sub (s): Alpine 10" (it was free, can't complain. Plus it's white and matches my look. will post model number later)
Amplifier (s): Alpine 4 channel digital (just got it open box at bestbuy for 1/2 off, will post model number later)
Car PC: coming soon, removed it from my other car, will be installing in the Vette.
Sound deadening: nope.
Wires: mix and match of all kinds of wires. No brand names. Also use inline fuses and distro blocks.
Other: 1far cap.
Box: custom flush mount box in rear cargo well and amp deck.
System Cost: I bought this all spread out over the years and just upgrade and swap parts around with my other cars every few minths. But if I bought it all at once right now? Probably around $1200 I pick up everything used or on sale, so it was WAY less than that.
Install Cost:free, I do all my own work.
