i personally have had the 10" in my regular cab Dakota for about a week now. it sounds great. ive got it in a sealed box about .9 cu ft. im going to make a either a smaller sealed or a larger ported box to see how it sounds tonight.

[UE-Maxx]

Is a touch screen any more complicated to put it than just a regular radio? Also can you take the faceplate off like a regular after market radio?

[Ponch]

Got the box built saturday with John aka destroymyrevo, carpeted it myself last night. Turned out pretty well for my first box, looks pretty BA too.

can i have it? Ill be your friend...

[Michowski]

it installs the same. Only difference is you got an extra wire for your parking brake which turns off the picture while your driving (its the law). I hooked mine up to a switch and did a little rewiring so I can watch movies on the go right now.

Any suggestions a amp to power some Alpine frt 6 1/2 type R components and rear 6 3/4 2 way Type R's

I'm not looking for top of the line stuff here, but a good quality amp. under 200 dollar range. maybe like a Alpine F550 ? I think thats the model

Head unit is a Pioneer 5900

[destroy_my_revo_15]

thats what im planning on running when i get the money, snakebite.

[UE-Maxx]

I know dual is bad. lol My buddy has two dual 12's that just sound like crap. I wouldn't consider them subs, more like just a noise maker.

Know anything about jensen? I was looking at this.

Jensen 7" LCD

hey guys, I have a 99 chrysler sebring lxi. My stereo equip is giving me shit. I can't afford to take it anywhere, so if I could meet up with someone who can help, I'd greatly appreciate anyone willing to give me some of their time.

[destroy_my_revo_15]

whats it doing? anything?

With my old stereo, the front speakers weren't getting any sound, but the speakers are fine. It was determined that the radio was the problem. I got my hands on a new radio, different model, and I can't even get it to turn on. I followed the wiring diagram.

[destroy_my_revo_15]

a new stock radio?

[RobH]

a new stock radio?

no

My uncle pulled it from his pt cruiser, which is supposed to use the same stereo wiring as a sebring

[Ponch]

Check your wiring harness plug thingy for any cracks and that all the individual plugs are not stretched/cracked etc...

they are all fine.

I think I'd rather build several differentials than do the wiring one more time.

Build them or shim them? lol

[RobH]

both. im dead serious.

[snakebite46]

Does that Sebring have Infinity sound system ? Check the factory amp.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Sometimes with factory radios there is a code or something and they will go into a security mode and not work when removed fron one car and put in another. You may need to contact a dealer with any info on the radio (number on the back?) to find out.

[Michowski]

I would have to say dual makes a good radio. A lot of people have recommended it/run it and so far I say its ok. Havent had it long to give it the 2 year test but there radio's seem good.

[Ponch]

Better pics of the finished product.

[UE-Maxx]

Looks good ponch.
