What would you have done differently?

1> Different head unit and music library access : I abhor the Alpine head units (long story) but they have an excellent interface to my 60gb iPod. If could do it all over again, I would buy a head unit that had Front/Rear/Sub 5v pre outs and an iPod interface instead of the Sony MP3 unit with Front/Rear/Sub 2.5v pre outs and Sony 10 disc MP3 changer. Or a head unit that played DVD MP3s (a few new ones do). My music library is quite extensive and 11 MP3 discs, ripped at 320kbps is not enough variety. So I would change that. Still might in the future as other companies release FULL and INTEGRATED iPod interfaces.

2> Different Sub enclosure. The ProBox is awesome - very large volume considering the space limitations of the C5 "storage bin". But the box is actually too shallow for anything bigger than a Rockford Fosgate Stage1 12 inch sub. I have a RF Stage2 and I had to modify the box to make it fit and to increase the internal volume of the box.

3> Used 2 layers of FatMat ( http://www.fatmat.com ) instead of the combination of 2 layers of Frost King/Reflectix/Dynamat Extreme that I used throughout the car. I'm toying with the notion of ripping out the Frost King this coming winter and laying FatMat down in it's place. But I probably will not do it because it's w-a-y too much effort. Once was enough!!!

4> Different main amplifier : The Clarion 4 channel is fine and very configurable, but in hindsight, 2 x 2 channel amplifiers would have given me far more flexibility but cost 3 times as much. Not to mention consumed too much space. So I will not be changing that.

5> Routed wires a little differently. Not much, but just so that it wouldn't bug me. It's my OCD rearing it's ugly head. No one will ever see my wiring - but it bugs me.

6> Tweeters and mids that could handle higher peak power. The Rockford Fosgate component system I have is excellent for me but.....

So yes, if I had an extra 2 or 3 grand and I could do it all over again, I would. But I much prefer what I have and to spend that 2 or 3 grand on other mods.

Because what I have right now kicks serious posterior :D
