Smile System is done...thanks to all. ** Now with pics **

Thanks to everyone that contributes to this site. Yesterday I decided it was the day to install my new system.

Nakamichi MB-100 HU
MB Quart RAA 4200 AMP
MB Quart Reference 6X8 Components
MB Quart Reference 10" Sub
Sound Off Audio Single 10 Box
Kenwood Sirius Sat Radio


Without the great information on this site I wouldn't have been able to get it all installed. A huge thanks to Melville for the seat removal info and in particular the pics. Once I could see what I was trying to do the job went very smoothly.

My wife is a little ticked that it took all day so I wanted to ask what does it normally cost to have a Head Unit, AMP, Components, Sat Radio installed?


Thanks again,

Ken.

I bought the head unit about 5 years ago and only used it for a year. Since then it has been sitting in a box. Finally found it and decided it was time to use it again. Finding it really started this whole project.

Couldn't figure out why no crisp highs with the MB Quarts....figured it out....crossovers shipped with the jumper set to -6db. Changed it back to 0...much better now.

Never even thought to check. Just assumed.
