Default Stage 1 of My Stereo Installed :)

Just got stage 1 of my stereo installed . That includes the alpine cda-9857 head unit, diamond compenent speakers, and ipod hookup. they also installed my power locks . They dynamatted the whole door. Stage 2 is rougly - rear speakers, 12 inch D3 sub, 2 amps, one for the 4 speakers, one for the sub, some more dynamat. It sounds great just for one speaker and no external amp. Heres pics.











How do u guys like it?

Unfortunetly I cant see hosted pics on this computer but it sounds good. I have a Phoenix Gold amp in my 98 running my 4 speakers off separate channels.

Very clean looking install. I like the way the back plate was cut to match the dash contour. Little touches like that show talent. Just one question... why is the head unit installed upside down?

Phsyc! Just kidding, looks great! [sm=smiley20.gif]

BTW: someone needs a better "thumbs up" smiley. That one looks gay.

I like it! I have almost the same headunit, but mine is one step lower than yours. I hear the iPod feature is supposed to be really nice on yours. Mine works alright. Can you buy that trim plate somewhere? I need to fill the space on mine.

You must have a 65? Because my 66 doesn't have that recessed line running across it like yours. Looks GOOD!

I have that line on my 66. I think he has a different dash pad. Mine isnt even close to his. His looks a lot better.

Do you think he could make another or does he need the car there? What dash pad do you have then? How did you run the ipod cable and where do you put your ipod?
