Planned Car Stereo Upgrades! *Camaro GT Street* *!!!NOTE!!! This board is not made to bash anyone systems. Only post positive or constructive criticism. I have already made up my mind on my system and I won't change the configuration. So let me know what you guys have and lets have a good time!!!*
Ok Just like I promised, I will keep you guys up to date with upgrades. First of all, this is the beginning of what I call the "Camaro GT Street". I am going to add an all Sony system, with Rockford Fosgate accessories. Here is the list:
MEX-BT5700U (available this summer)
CDX-757MX (Taken from my old car, already have)
XS-LD106P5B (available soon)
XM-ZZR3301 (available soon)
XM-ZR704 (available soon)
XS-GTX1620S
XS-GTX1640
XS-W4021
XT-100HD
BitViper Antenna (oooohhhhh)
PAC SWI-PS Steering Wheel Controls
Custom F-Body Sub enclosure
Custom F-Body Amp Rack
The rest of the things I already have (Pretty much all of the accessories).
RF 1-Farad Capacitor
RF 4 Gauge dual amp kit
RF Capacitor wiring kit
RF 16ft twisted RCA cables
RF Battery sidepost terminal
Wiring harness
Mounting kit
Antenna adapter
Hopefully I can get everything started by the summer. I might even by a cheaper Sony stereo because I miss my CD changer. I will be posting pics when I get each mod done. BTW if you guys have nice audio setup, or have a question, just post it here.

We don't have a short memory and since I'm a mod I can easily bring back the other thread. People are just going to post in here again saying that you should avoid Sony. Just so you know what to expect. If it starts heading that way again, I'm going to lock this thread. If you don't want to hear the criticism, no need having multiple threads on it.

So you want everyone to just post what they have rather then critique yours ? Ok. I can play.
Source = Pioneer AVICF90BT (it's ok, I played with it on a bench, and there are things I don't like, plus some I do. Got a really good deal)
DSP = can't tell you or I'd have to kill you
. Seriously though, I am under an NDA for this, but I can tell you it has 8 channels of output, full adjustable crossover, eq, etc ...
AMPS = JBL Power Series amps. 2 PX300.4's, and 2 BPX1100.1's.
Subs = JBL W12GTi mkii
Speakers = JBL 660 GTi components.
accessories and stuff: no caps, 2 optima yellow top batteries. wire, terminals, and so on and so forth.
Granted, currently, most of it is in boxes right now. Well, the amps and DSP are from the previous install, everything else is new.

Seriously why post on a forum and get your feelings hurt because 95% of the people are trying to save you from buying junk? I guess if you like sony then again its what you're going to have to put up with ... I just wouldn't torture my ears like that
Mike, 20$ I can guess the DSP within 3 tries?
Oh and my entire system is composed of phoenix gold the old xenon series ... subs / amps / components / avic n1 / sealed box 2.5cubes common chamber / and many hours spent with my term lab.

I've got an older Clarion deck, wanting to replace, but not sure with what.
Sub: 1 - 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch XLC
Amps: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500w(for the sub)
Alpine MRP-F300 74w x 4(for speakers)
Speakers: Focal 165 A1 Components
Focal 165 CA1
I've got a 1 Farad capacitor too, can't remember brand though.
I'm running an Optima red top battery, but I think I need a beefier alternator or something cause sometimes my volts drop a little low on the gauge in my dash.

Yes, I am a mod, but not of this specific section. I went and read through the entire previous thread. It was actually a pretty good overall discussion. The tone was anti-Sony, but it wasn't the rude bashing you are saying.... until you started making rude comments that is. Therefore... I'm locking this thread and reinstating the other thread with your comment and the responses removed.
