Installation Description

Installation was simple, thanks to Crutchfield's easy MasterSheet. There is much more to do, but it's fun to do. Still working on hidding the wires, and sound proofing. I added more LEDs to the amp/cap/blocks. Added an LED between switch and AMP.

Q&A Section

Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?

It was finally time to upgrade, started blowing basic speakers. More power is always a good thought.

What's the first thing you show people about your installation?

Bandpass box with LED, or the Pioneer receiver.

Why did you choose these products?

More price than anything; I did a lot of research before buying. I wasn't going out to blow the windows off, or have every other car around mine rolling up their windows. I went more for feeling of bass.

What was the most difficult part of the installation?

The receiver with the new antenna adapter doesn't fit perfectly, so it took a little work to get in.

What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?

Dynamat, LED's, more power.

Warm
Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.
Neutral
A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.
Bright
Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
