I purchased the unit today.
Is this everything I need for the install?

I will be adding a couple amps and a sub, as well as replacing stock front and back speakers.

Any pointers? I have been reading many threads and believe I can do it. Going to try at least!

you need to get the adapter to be able to control the radio with the buttons in the steering wheel... PAC SWI-PS

Ok got everything ordered. Thanks!

Once HU arrives with install i am going to run it stock, until i can order subs and a box. I am pulling my old system (6 years old!) from my suburban. I hope i can reconnect it and everything will work! I was running mtx 12's but going to change to 10's.

Here's my amp for the subs:

Here's the subs i want to order:

Any recomendations on a box for 2 10"s. I found this one.

Seems most all have the 5.75" mounting limitations.

I have a cheap Lighting audio 4 channel for the doors. Probably going to upgrade that around Christmas!
I was going to run some 6.5's upfront and 6x8 in the back. Any recommendations? I thought about these:

I also have a Clarion 7 band passive EQ, but will probably eliminate it since the HU has one internally.

Any comments? Concerns? Suggestions? Help?!?!?!?

how much did you pay for the avhp4200

B1gfun

$389 shipped.

How you like your set up? I read a lot of your posts.

Where are you going to be mounting your amps.? Also - there is a bypass switch utilizing a relay to allow you to view dvd's while you are in drive (though not recommended from authorities).

Good Luck - Show us some pics during your install..

I'm going to mount them on the back wall. I thought about under the front seats, but would really like them out of the way.

Anyone know what relay to use? Is it just a simple 3 prong one? I have been scoping it on line, but to be honest i am over my head on this deal. Will push through though!

Will post pics up as i go!

just wanted to make sure you didnt over pay because thats about what i payed for mine.. so thats good haha.. i like mine alot dude its pretty sweet.. i got the bypass done for mine so dvds can play while driving.. but overall its a great unit and it really has great picture quality and it makes the whole dash look alot sleeker
