Well folks, I got my in dash 6 disk CD player and Kelton subwoofer combo from H and A Accessories via UPS this afternoon. The installation for both units took about 1.5 hours. It's really no big deal. I followed the directions, made no assumptions
, and everything fell right in place and worked perfectly from the get go. The one part of the installation that took a little extra time was drilling the hole for the on/off switch for the subwoofer. The directions call for a 20mm hole saw but I didn't have one available. I took three different drills and wound up with a 12mm hole. I then used a dremmel tool to slowly enlarge it until the switch would fit. It looks just fine.
The sound of the stock radio system is much improved. Someone else said that they had their subwoofer's volume turned most of the way down. I've had to do the same. At the mid point of the subwoofers volume, it's way too much. I've still got to experiment with the high pass filter to see where I prefer that to be. For now, I'm pleased with the sound. As for the in dash 6 disk CD player, it's working perfectly and it's great being able to listen to my CD collection again. I'm really impressed with this unit. It amazes me that they can squeeze 6 CD's in that little box and have everything work so well. I'd love to see what it looks like on the inside. Don't worry, I'm not going to take it apart!
Next project? I've got the fog lights on order along with the transmission cooler. Since you have to pull the front facia on both installations, I'll do them both at the same time. They should be here around Tuesday. After that, I think I'm pretty much done for a while. I need to let my wallet recoup for a while.
Drive Safe,
Steve
