ALPINE ROCKS!! XM ROCKS!!

Welcome to the XM family. It's about damn time you finally got it... now I can quit listening to you whine about not having it.

I really like that antenna.... much lower profile than mine.

How do those speaks sound?


Nice set up man... I told you that you'd love the XM!

Looks nice, clean install. BTW, I was at Circuit City looking for a lower profile antenna than the one that came with the Delphi Sky-Fi unit, and after seeing the truck, the guy recommended that I just set the antenna on the dash against the windshield. Works Great! No loss of signal, and much cleaner look.

Install looks good. I just didnt like the pocket thats under it, as it was too shallow to really be used for anything. So I'll just have to find something and do a double din install.

Also, about the anteanna mount:

I dont think it really matters where you place it, inside or out. The shop down here had a deck int he sound board and had all the sirus stuff inside including the anteanna and had not problem with the reception at all.


Man I cant wait to get sirus alsong with the rest of my stereo intalled. As soon as mid summer rolls around I planned to have it all installed, the hardest part is going to be building the box under tha back seat and glassing the kicks.

 

Thanks for the compliments fellas...

Haha!! Thats right RP So many damn stations!! I love it!! Comedy is hilarious...Sinatra even has his own station...HOW SWEET IS THAT! Kiss FM & MTV radio are sweet. Ethel on 47 is pretty cool too. GOTTA LOVE IT!! I'M SO HAPPY!!

RP...THE SPEAKERS SOUND AWESOME!! Especially with the power its gettin from the vdrive amp in the deck.

I like the antenna...looks good. I think it looks cool, i dont mind it on my roof

Well...Wish me luck on the S.A.T. tomorrow. I'm gonna kick its ***

thanks guys.

G'luck on the SAT. You kick it's *** (aka: score perfect), I'll send you a McDonald's gift certificate...

That head unit looks awesome. If you don't mind, how much did you get it for? I am looking for a good head unit to put in mine, but would like to pay less than $300 for one, with remote.
