hmmmm.... anytime you put an amp upside down, you're making it more difficult to dissapate heat (which rises upwards)...usually the amp cools through those little groove that you see in the heat sinks. might work out fine, ... depends on the amp... how hot it runs, etc. also seems like a...

Arkos P5... I second that question! I'm wondring the same thing, but haven't seen too much done yet. Everyone I've seen has flip out LCDs... Also does anyone know where we could get a Double-Din adapter/mounting kit for a LCD screen. I'd assume that since companies like metrix makes...

yeah... that looks very nice when done.... great technique to keep your car looking oh so stock ;) = fp let me know if.when you give this a go.... I'd be interested in picking up a stock face myself is you come across some, or brokwn radios to remove them from.

:D nice Mike...!!!! 2 questions... Fo you have an anti-theft deterrant...? (I'd assume that you do for the bottom HU with detachable face,) but what about the LCD? and also... Did both of those fit right in, or did you build or buy an adapter for that DoubleDin space? looking pretty tight...

Look for someone that has installed without having to cut anything. I remember seeing 6 in back and 5x7 in front with 3/4 inch tweeters up by the rearview mirrors.... also check out protegeclub.com- good car audio section....

I haven't listened too much to any of the newest pioneer speakers lately, but in the past I have always been suprised and impressed by what I've heard. I was considering these for a while, and a buddy had a 5 1/4 component set. They sounded tight. Especially for the price. I can't imagine that...

yeah ... that one is pretty fresh... I just recently came across it too! but i have no tapes :( and subsequently no use for a tape deck... I really dig the Japanese ones with mini disc and mp3/cd..

cool... thanks .. will try to look aroudn for it too.. = fp

i thought that a Double Din with a CD/DVD/Mp3 disc solt and an LCD screeen was kind of an obvious good idea! but... I haven't seen one yet! it's not like it isn't do-able. probably would cost like $1800 though :D let me know if/when you find one.... = fp

Thanks for that info. yeah that super secret security number doesn't do much when your window is smashed out at 12:00 in the morning after a movie. You'd think they'd atleast make a little panel of the face that comes of and has a blinking light or something. the faux stock faceplate is one of...

:D that pioneer is pretty tidy .. a small diamond in the rough... they make good stuff.... :) keep in mind that for the price of that radio you could get a nice, tight little computer that plays dvds, has a video output, a nice soundcard with RCA/digital outs, and can hold say 80 gigs of mp3's...

Hey not to beat a horser here or anything, but I just got off of the phone with the service manager at the local Mazda dealership were the P5 came from last week.. Just for kicks I called to ask if it ships with break in oil, should i have the oil changed, etc, etc.... His answer was no.. It's...

thanks for the info.... it seems that they've moved along a bit since I last played with them.. At least you have folder structure being recognized.. I understand that you can't get the Tag info until the track loads, but what do you get as you are browsing...? Does it at least show file name...

nice.... thanks man... I'll try to take a look through the models on the link you posted. Is that a Japanese model there I assume? Also did it happen to have an Aux/ inputs for say a DVD player or video game system.. and also is there any kind of security deterrent on their? I'm wondering if...

I guess there are a lot of folks on here with the Kenwood mp3 capable Head Units... (duh) Anybody else using other HU's with mp3 support? Specifically I'm wondering which ones have the best user interface? For instance if I have a cd with 200 mp3s on it, the I'd like to organize them into...
