Now you have a good place for some gauges. That would fill it and look better IMO. I just think it looks unfinished just being empty like that, you know. But I can't really see the finish of the Aluminum so it probably looks better in person.


Nice job.

Y'all should have made it out of fiberglass and popped it out a bit, that would have been awesome.

The top unit is a ROckford Fosgate RFX9220G AM/FM/CD/MP3 player. The bottom unit is an OmniFi DMP1 (Digital Media Player). It is the controller for the hard drive, which is what you see mounted in the dash compartment. It has a 20Gig hard drive. I currently have about 3000 tracks on there and only consumed about 6G of space.
Also, the unit syncronizes with your home computer wirelessly, which is what it was doing when I took the picture.

So you have 4 tweeters total in the car? Where do you have them all mounted?

Also, do you only have the one amp for your mains? Are you pushing the rears off the head's internal amp?

Last question, why all Rockford?

Actually, there are 8 tweeters. The Rockford coaxials have a dual tweeter setup that allows you to mount them in various configurations. In the front doors I have a 6.5" w/ a tweeter in the bottom of the door and the second tweeter up high in the factory location. In the rear doors I have the 6.5" mounted as coaxials w/ both tweeters on the mid.

I chose to run the mids/highs off of the P2002 in parallel because I don't use a fader and the RF amps like a 2ohm load.

Why all Rockford? It's great product!! I heard a similar system at CES that rocked a in a Lexus. The retail price on this whole system is about $2K. If you bought the Bazooka Sub, 6 Disc changer, XM and security from Scion you would spend something like $1,500.

Oh yeah, I'm the Rockford rep

No factory location for 2 tweets. Can't use pillars because I have the curtain airbags.
