    amp location

    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...

    :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...

    Pioneer components

    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....

    Pioneer components

    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...

    All out Double Din Post

    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...

    MP3 HeadUnits

    :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...

    Breaking in the Engine

    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...

    MP3 HeadUnits

    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...

    All out Double Din Post

    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...

    MP3 HeadUnits

    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...

    Stealth Installs

    passenger pocket...? in the door... that's pretty nice.. I know it seems like we're tight on space, but most of the cool stealth stuff I've seen was always based on ingenuity! Of the cars I looked at the P5 was the tighter on space, but the ride and handling way made up for it :D hmmm...

    How many Channels??

    that is kind of what I was thinking.... so do you know if there are wires from the radio to the door speaker, and then wires from the door up to the tweeter? using the wiring already there could make hooking up a component set a snap... (hmmm.... would also assume that the back speakers are...

    Stealth Installs

    OK.OK ..... this is my last post for the night. :D Any of you out there into the stealth install thing? It looks like we've got plenty of blingers out there ;) but I'm a fan of the full on stealth installation. Besides, if no one knows it's there then why would they want to pop out your...

    How many Channels??

    I guess that I've got the 2002.5 P5 model.... as I've noticed the tweeters mounted up around the side view mirrors. 2 questions.. in this model how are the speakers wired up in the stock layout. I have a total of 6 speakers.. 3 on each side. Does the stock radio output to six channels.... (and...

    While we're at at LCD's

    How about a post of all of the LCD installs... I caught the one in the trunk, but what's up with the rest. Anyone mounted them in the sunvisors, headrests, maybe on a pivot arm attached to the back of the senter console? I'd like to do this myelf, but am a little unsure about the whole...
