Checkers Anyone? Alpine PDX-5 Amplifier Install

[Phantom]

Nice setup, A good sub will take any audio system to the next level (properly integrated, of course). Sound deadening in the doors will make the biggest diffrence in the VX acoustically.. I used two Cascade door kits and a speaker kit per door and then sprayed the interior door plastic panel with a can of quiet kote per door. Closing the door now sounds like a bank vault closing and you really have to watch how hard you close the door. Then if you want to go nuts, you can do the whole rear of the truck (most importantly the rear wheel wells). I really like the vinyl based stuff (cascade) better than asphalt (dynamat), it weighs less and doesn't stink.

I placed two 4 channels amps behind the subs box right behind the rear seats.

2@4channels??? are you running them at 2ch per amp?? if designed like that, you could have gotten more power for less cost out of 2@2ch i believe...

interesting though....

unless your running 6 speakers...

I've running the four speakers (3 ways) on one amp @ 125 watts each channel),the two subs ( 135 watts each ) on the other amp & got two channels free right now.
I bought the amps used in excelent conds,they are sony Xplode 550 watts each;didn't use the factory wiring,i runned the long way by adding new wiring all around the VX for all components,at 60% of power the VX shakes like a gel you can clearly hear the music from out side.

Even though i love music pumping down the street i fall into the moderate group category.

nice, good set up...
i was gonna say that your math doesnt really add up enless your pumping a ton of power into something...it makes sense now though...

Yes thanks !

If wasn't because of the bunch of jerks always lurking to find a good deal breaking into cars i were put a nice NAV system at the upper DIN,but had to keep the set underlow by adding a cassette deck there,the digital EQ is located at the lower DIN & the 6-CD changer disguiss very well behind the center console thanks to its black color.

see i went really crazy....i put a new panel up top where the stock radio goes to put switches in...for winches and lights....

then i moved the radio down to the place where the 6-cd changer goes along with modifying where the ash-tray and the cigarette lighter goes (see my gallery)...

it looks great..and it also keeps the theives from seeing the radio because it moves it down low...
