Custom ported box, 12" Infinity Kappa 120.9W, Kicker CX600.1, Audiocontrol LC2i, Belva BAK42 wiring. Wired into the factory non-ML non-NAV system. Nowhere near as elaborate as some of these other systems, but it works very well for me. The amp is mounted on the left side of the box.

How big are the tweeters in the front and rear? Do I need adapters to replace them?

I think they're 3.5". Here's my link to what I did with my audio.

I've had my is250 for about a month now and love it. I hate that I don't have a usb hookup for iphone\ipods. The aux port sounds like **** and i hear ground noise whenever I press the gas pedal.

I have a nice sub\amp that i took out of my previous car I sold and plan on getting a nice stealth box as well. I install all my audio setups my self but I have a couple questions on the headunit.

I've searched but get conflicting results

Is there a ton of custom work to make a single din unit work? I hear that custom work will need to be done in order for the AC to work etc??

I was planning to get one of these single head unit install bezels

For those of you that have installed single din units in their car what was required? Any special adapters or anything else for the climate control etc..? Or is it just like any basic single din head unit install?

It requires a lot of work and does require the relocation of the A/C controls. It's not a simple setup unfortunately.

How are you guys anchoring down the sub box? I have the same/similar set up. My box goes flying towards the rear of the car when I unleash the beast. I've temporarily added a bungee cord to span across the front, but would like something less intrusive
