Default Surgery information

Steve, thanks for posting pics.

I have not seen the car since I dropped it off last Friday to the hands of the Automotive Entertainment Doctors (Nat, Robert; their assistant Nalaka and owner Henry).

I would like to thank Audio Dave for his speaker plates (front and rears)

H/U - Alpine IVA-W200 w/IPOD, XM, and IPOD video (Modifying Bezel to accomodate Double Din Head Unit)

Alpine 6 disk CD changer

3 way - Focal 165 KBE midbass and Focal 100KP mids and tweets for the fronts

rears - Focal 165 CV1 (rear fill for those DVD times)

Audio Control DQT and Audio Control Four.1i

JL 500/5 amp

JL stealthbox

Alot of Edead (Elemental Designs) V1se for sound deadening

Crazy Cowboy kit (somewhat for additional sound deadening but more for heat shield)

The Big 3 is also getting done and getting the rear markers and third brake light "smoked" (dark tinting)

I really appreciate the guys at Automotive Entertainment for taking good care of the patient.

I cannot wait see how successful this surgery turns out.

I don't care if all your review says is, "OMG! This thing ROCKS!"

So long as you provide more pictures...

Congrats on the new system!

Well, I have been informed that the surgery is going well. The patient is very receptive of the implants. The long process will be over tomorrow and the surgery should be done in the late afternoon. Can't wait to hear what she has to say Hopefully she speaks clearly and loudly

You will love that head unit. I have one in my tacoma and it works fantastic. Great Ipod interface too. Be sure and ask them to install the TR7 module so you can bypass the video/parking brake lockout. You can also add the alpine nav unit to that head unit. I added it to mine and it was well worth it.
