you mean the mids-highs and amp? the front seperates were(inc.tweets)$199 the rears mids were $99 and the small alpine amp to run mids and highs was $199

the subs ....I've had for a while....well, actually I just replaced them with the newer version and the 700s RF amp for the subs I've had for like a year.
I got a great deal on the Alpine cd9813 open box special.


Sounds amazing

im looking at putting a set of temp/volt guages for my amp under mine. I know ive seen them in a cateloge somewhere. Blue with either analoge needles or digital readout. but after all the work on that area lately I think im going to leave it alone for a while.

Gato, so did i see it right? did you replace the 6X9 rear with 6" coaxials?

yes, you can run your mids and highs off the head unit...... but I wanted to finally finalize a complete system and make it perfect...

on that picture above .....it's called a fischer box...made for german cars (cd holder it's all it is)


all you ideas are nice....equalizer, stash box....3rdelement's idea is cool too...a nice temp/volt gauges..

I'm also thinking of replacing the ash tray with a black vinyl cover and place something neat in the middle...only because the ash tray is broken and keeps poping out.


3rdelement what 6x9's ???
