Complete Stereo Build

Onsite automation? Small world. I'm a plc programmer.
In regards to ML and nav, is it possible to downgrade the nav? I have the vaistech ivic and I love that I have ipod capability, but I hate having to open an app everytime in the car. I thought I might ask here simce you seem to know a great deal.

Honestly im not sure about "downgrading" the nav or vaistech.. I have had a few friends that used that component but im not as familiar. More familiar with aftermarket integration. I know others may be though. sorry

Well install went perfect as planned, and im one step closer to the F being exactly as I would like! I do want to upgrade the highs to Focals, but Ill wait till around may, but overall beside needing to finish molding radio kit and amp rack sounds much much better wow 4 years has been way too long. Here is a teaser until I can do a detailed write up.

I have a custom enclosure for it already. Took it out of my IS300. I just need to do more research on how to use that sub off of the factory head unit. I have a Focal 900 mono amp that i pair with it. Not sure if between the wheel wells is the same size as it was in my 300 though. Just need to spend some time looking at things.

I started out wanting a light system upgrad and I ended up goin HAM.
I started out with Two Tru Tech amps, sold one and then got a genesis amp.
I ran a 12' morel ultimo for a year and then wanted more bass. I had to eclipse 12 aluminums sitting in the garage...s I replaced the Morel with the eclipse (morel sitting under my bed for next build)
running morels in all the doors. Im also using a audison bit ten for dsp. I hate having to adjust it with my pc.....but it is great for tweaking. I also have a vais tech player for my flac files.
I may do what you did now because the stock cd player loves to keep my cds until it feels like giving them back, and my touch screen (replace with a ebay screen) is looking like a$$.

I too have wanted to do this, I didnt know the CD player could detach until I had to take it out to replace my touch screen.

instead of 2 aluminum 12's you should just go with 1 Titanium 12. I had one back in the day on a fosgate 1000 bd1 amp and it pounded the asphalt apart.

No harness . Power goes directly to battery with 10A fuse inline, accessory and ground go to cigarette lighter. Everything else ran through door grommets. I wanted thicker gauge because im about to change from type Rs which are ok for most purposes now ,to 3 way focals up front with jl 300/2 and focal access in the rear.

Yes, in place of dvd changer which I dismantled for HVAC PCB. I had to drill the mounting holes about an 1/8" inch lower to allow to clear and for screen to move properly.
