Default Alpine X305

I ordered a X305 finally, I am unsure what else I need besides the 70-1858 wiring kit and a mount, I am also looking for some place cheaper the HUMount for my headunit mount 85$ is rediculous for such a small piece of plastic. Also if anyone could recommend 6.5 subs for the stock amp I would be thankful! Thanks Jon

you wont find the HUMount cheaper than what they have it listed on there site. since they make it. You can find one used that someone is selling though.

Contact Kee Audio for your speakers and info on installation ---------->

Isn't the X305 a regular single DIN chassis? Just go to Al & Eds or Autozone, you can get a mounting kit for $15-30

it's $16.99

They are universal kits, they come with different adapter plates to Fit Ford & GM models.
I used one in my old Camaro and it looked good.

I went with a double DIN in my newer Camaro, so I ended up making my own.

Actually, I think Autzone's site is wrong.

According to Metra (they make the kits at autozone) you want PN 99-3009

For your subs, I suggest contacting Kee Audio. I have the 6.5'' Bazooka subs in my Formula and they work very well. He also sells other 6.5'' subs that will work as well. It looks like you have a Trans Am, so you shouldn't run into any wiring problems with the DVC subs. They'll plug right in.

FWIW, I am also running an Alpine IDA-X100 in my Formula with the Kee Audio basic package.
