Its been sitting in my room for god knows how long.Anyway, its friggin awsome, has all the adjustable bits that I missed and the premium ICC dont have. I was running my amps and subs off an AudioControl LC6i (now for SALE), which was good. Then my stacker crapped itself so I decided to get a head unit. The head unit allows me to connect my ipod which sits in the glove box, and is controlled by the head unit itself. I miss the steering wheel controls but the HU has a remote. Also I bought a dash kit, which centeres the HU and still retains the ciggy lighter, other dash kits or even chopping the original puts the HU off center, which I didnt like, so this one was perfect..Now just need to upgrade my speakers for some Alpine type S, or R's. The sub box im using was custom made by Freeway for my old car (holden) so it isnt the perfect fit, and just my luck Freeway are looking for a new cabinet maker, so more waiting till I get one made up, then my Alpine system will be complete. Here are some pics.. (camera fone) Edited 09/01/09 02:20 AM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure for the same or less $$ you could get gear that sounds just as good, but I dont know what/where/brand. Around the $200-$300 im wanting to spend on a set of 6" or 6.5" whatever they are (dont want 5x7's) splits, can anyone recommend any?MRDOSE, Freeway Car Audio supplied it. But I think I saw one similar on ebay... Edited 09/01/09 03:14 AM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORSMXRT Member 167 Member For: 16y 11m Posted 09/01/09 03:35 AM Share Posted 09/01/09 03:35 AM Very nice mate, looks just like mine excpet I got the DVD one. Freeway are great guys, I had my screens done by them a while back and they did a superb job. I'll never go anywhere else.I got some Rockford Fosgate 5x7's for the rears from them for about $220, they are great and are a direct swap. Just get some nice 6.5 in splits for the front for you to enjoy. Maybe some type X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to add to the "to-do" list. The surround is probably the DNA installation kit. Looks identical. http://www.dnaaudio.com.au/blowout_pages.html/whf103.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
