System Installed, w/PICS

got my system installed finally. Took a while to decide on what equipment and configuration I wanted, but I'm happy with my decision and just thought I'd post a few pics.

Headunit
Alpine IVA-W200 (with dvd bypass unit and full speed Ipod cable)

Speakers
Focal 165 V1 components
Focal 690 CV1 6x9's

Amps
Alpine PDX 4.150
Alpine PDX 1.1000

Sub
Alpine 12" Type-R

That's beautiful man

I would recommend bracing the rear plexi panel though-- That's a mean sub and no doubt that panel is flexing like hell--

(It could net as much as 2db from your sub)

Everything looks very clean

I have a question though... does your system sound louder inside when you pop open the trunk?

Too bad SC's have a gas tank there-- That's the best spot for a sq sub without hacking up the car

The OEM headunit is still hidden away in the car, because the stock nav needs to be wired to the headunit to work. The OEM nav is not controlled by the headunit though, the controls are in the center by the armrest.
