Thanks,
It wasnt to bad I had to cut a lil bit of plastic so that it would fit perfectly. I have never done anything liek this before so it tells you the degree of difficulty,lol. The subs in the doors are exposed now and I think it looks sweet, adds to the interior, just as long as you dont got kids jumping around in ya front seat it should be fine. The 6x8 I put in are 250 watts, and when I took out the stock ones they said 25 watts or 50 dont remember, but it was ****ty and the stock system still pounds pretty good for factory. I havent got my deck installed yet either cause I was waiting for my rear camera. Im going to upgrade all of the wires and im think Ill get some kind of amp to fully power the subs. The stock deck just starves the speakers lol I put it on full bass and there isnt ahint of distortion its clear as day and pretty dam loud. I am going to add the same 6x8 in the rear also for what itsd worth the $60 they cost might aswell top it off. Im am pretty sure though I wont be needing any subs in my trunk to fullfill my music needs.

your central fl right? maybe we can link up and u can check it out, I still have all the screws off so I can just lift off the door panel. Are you any good with stereo stuff Im a little hesitant to try and install my deck, although it shouldnt be to difficult if I read the instructions but would be nice to have somebodys knowledge who has done it before. Im located basically at millenia mall just let me know.

I was gonna put my xbox 360 into my car but the one thing that worries me is how delicately those things need to be treated. Id be playing a game and hit a small bump and the 360 would scratch the crap outta my disc. I can run over my old xbox and it will still work. I will post pics as soon as i start the install. I am going out to michigan tomorrow so it will have to wait a bit but it will just give me time to brainstorm layout ideas.

A little OT here... Ya'll should google "car pc". Pretty much the same money as the ridiculous cost of a decent nav system. But with a in-car PC and software meant for in-car apps, you get nav, mp3, practically infinite mp3 storage, OBD-II, and all kinds of crap. I'd love to have all that. Its just way down my list of priorities.

Everything looks fine except lose the xbox way outdated and if you have a 360 are you really going to enjoy playing this? Also as small as the mustang is wear are you planning to play the xbox from because you can't play it and drive and no one fits in the back seat unless you have kids. I would go with the idea of a new 360 in the trunk they are a bit better with durability and the wireless controller if you just have to have this set up.

UPDATE 10/26/08:
After installing the DP Video headunit I was just ridiculously unhappy with it and its functions. That thing went straight back to the store.....and I got something alot better.





Kenwood DDX500, I have spent hours just playing with all this things features.

As far as the Xbox goes, I would absolutely love the 360 but hitting a bump and scratching the crap outta one of my games wouldnt make me very happy. I plan on mounting it in the trunk and using a controller extension cable hidden in the carpet to move the controller to the front seats(I also might go wireless). It just occured to me that playing soul calibur off of my dreamcast might be more fun I will run a cable for power to the inverter when i run the amp wires. My dad doesnt seem like hes in too much of a hurry to help me with that part, so im gonna see if snicksrolos might help.
