Nice install! Do you have any reception problems with the xm antenna mounted on the dash like that?

How come you got a nav unit and a head unit? Didn't the Nav have radio and all that stuff?

Only reason I ask is cause I'm debating whether to put in another head unit where onstar was like you or a dvd player, I already have the onstar moved custom where the pedals are to the rigth of your legs... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>The NAV unit is seperate from the head unit...stand alone. That's how alpine does it. The NAV is independent and it gives my system more flexability that way. If you want something that's all in one unit then you may want to go with Pioneer or Eclipse. My NAV and video can all be viewed and controlled while still driving.

Nice clean install, looks good.

[VTSTOMPER]

is that two XM antennas?

[CBR_Raven]

The system sounds real clean and loud...I'm very pleased.

that install looks very clean! i also live in sacramento and im gettin my stereo installed at audio inovations on tues to friday. where did you get yours done at? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>The install was done by me and a friend. The grills for the door speakers were kinda tricky but it came out nice. The amp rack and sub box was built by Gary at Paradyme car audio. I still have to finish the dynamat in the rear cargo area. I did the dynamat in the doors and it made a huge difference...killed a lot of road noise but that 10" subwoofer hits real hard and clean but it rattles the rear cargo area a bit. I plan on finishing the dynamat this week sometime.

Looks great! Very clean install. Did you do it all yourself?

10" Type X Alpine subwoofer

Here's a pic of where mine are. I like yours, they're easier to get to if you ever need to use it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Humm This, I like your dash trim panels. I might have mine painted also. I was thinking of going with a 2tone paint job on the outside (dark blue on the bottom half) and painting the dash to match.

CBR that looks sweet. What cutting tool did you use to cut the holes so perfect?

[Field Rat]

Did you use a Metra VT-GMOS-04 General Motors Class II data bus interface? The question I have is, this interface is supposed to allow you to use your Bose system, can you use the interface if you change out speakers?

[CBR_Raven]

Type X Alpine tweeters

[Field Rat]

Why were the speaker grills tricky? Also, What speakers did you use in the very back two speakers?

[CBR_Raven]

The very rear speakers in the cargo area, I didn't replace those but I may put the 4" type X alpine in there also just for good measure.

I didn't use any of the bose amps or speakers. There are different interefaces that allow you to do different things...like keeping the bose amps with your aftermarket radio.
