Default system plan

meeting today to come up with a system plan and budget.

im thinking either a avic d2 with something to play dvd's on added or a n3 in the dash.

jl 500/5 for an amp, jl zr650 csi in the front and something small in the rear for fill.

and either a jl stealthbox or maybe something custom that can be painted yellow to match the car in the same space.


the guy thats going to do the work can do some amazing stuff, he just got finished with a civic that when you open the trunk it has the alien head with the little set of teeth sticking out and water drips from the mouth and falls into a lit pool in the base of the trunk...looks amazing!

that system actually sounds really good. I would check out the eclipse nav uints before you buy though. if you have the added dough, the eclipse units have a bit higher sound quality.

You might want to look at Alpines new double din h/u that plays DVD's. Model number IVA-W200. It is satellite radio ready. Can be used with XM or Sirius and has Bluetooth capability. I have the JL 500/5 amp in my coupe and like it. Godd luck with your system.
