New audio set-up

All the boxes finally came in for my new system and this weekend i got it all put in. so far it sounds a million times better than that stock set-up i had... plus its really fun to throw some friends in the back seat and rattle their brains out.
enough talk though. pics:

Pioneer AVIC-D3 head unit


Kenwood KAC-7204 amp on back wall


Close up of amp


Dual 10" MTX Thunder Thin subs in tan Supercrew Sound box

O, and did i mention i got this whole set up for a steal if you ask me?
Headunit: $330
Amp: $105
Subs: $250
Wiring: $90 (kinda got screwed on that one, but i didnt wanna wait any longer for an internet order... thanks Best Buy. )
Box: $170
Total: ~$945

Wouldnt really say you got screwed, rockford fosgate makes very good wiring compared to many other 4 gauge kits on the market.

o, i know its really good wiring, but the thing is im sure if i did some looking around online i could have found comperable wiring for much less. i was just too excited to install it all to have to wait even longer for just wiring. haha.

but i got the avic used. it was only like 8 months old, but the guy had sold his truck with it in it and was trying to sell it on craigslist for $500 with no success. so it just kept popping up for about a month. finally he dropped the price to $400. i offered $325, and we ended on $330.

Any way you could post up a pic with the box installed under the seat? I am trying to decide if its worth the extra $20 to get the tan carpet to match my interior.

next time im out at my truck ill grab one for you. i def think it was worth it though. blends really nice with the stock interior. keeps my system kinda stealthy which was what i really wanted. and just in case you didnt know. if you type the code F150NET youll get 10% off your order at SCS.

no problem. im kinda suprised the lack of knowledge about that code. i thought we would have one so i searched for a while and never found it. so if it wasn't for emailing SCS and asking if there was one for being a member, never woulda found out...
