Kenwood KDC-X697 front and rear USB with Ipod control, Pandora, iHeart etc. Has one of the easiest to use interfaces I have ever had. Bought it for my wifes Mercedes C280, which subsequently died. I got 2 pairs of Kenwood 6895PS (Performance Series) 6x8's.


I also have a pair of Audiobahn 10's and an Audiobahn A12001 D-Class sub amp and a Kicker KX 600.4.


I got a 60/40 seat and carpet out of a junkyard and the material to redo the saggy headliner. If there is no rain next weekend, I will pull the interior, replace the rubber floor covering and the bench seat, redo the headliner and install the rest of the stereo.


At least I have tunes now, though.


I decided on a black diamond quilted material for headliner.

- Front speakers: Kicker 6x8 component set in doors, tweeters flush mounted at top of door, Image Dynamic Horn Compression Drivers along lower dash
- Rear speakers: Kicker 6x8 coaxials
- Subwoofer: Kicker shallow mount dual 1 ohm 10" mounted in custom box
- Amps: Rockford Power Series P8004 pushing the mids/highs, RF Power P6001 powering the Kicker sub
- Alumipro 15 farad capacitor backing up the amps' power supplies


Radio:




Front doors:






Image dynamic horns: (still need to make grills to make them pretty)




Sub box (oops.. looks like I need to raise up the box a little more)








Amps/cap




Very happy with this setup I pieced together, makes driving the truck an absolutely blast

Sweet setup. How do those 10W3's sound? I'm considering getting two for my truck

MorningZ:

1st, love the horns. I'm guessing you had these laying around cause I've searched hi and low for a set with no luck so I settled for kicks. 2nd, why are you running components in the doors if you're using the horns? I know that you need mids to complete the horns but why not go with a good 6.5 or even an 8" mid and eliminate that upper tweeter

I've had the horns (the CD-1E V.2's) for like 20 years now and they've been in 4 different cars of mine over the years...

I wasn't going to use them and had gone with just the component set then after the fact decided to add them into the mix.... I'd properly set them up *if* running speaker wires into the door was feasible (that molex plug is a pia to run wires through it looks like), but regardless, the overall system sounds great for me and the wife, so I won't be messing with it
