Welcome Akavish.  You should post some pics of your car.

If anyone wants to know about a modification for their car they should ask this guy.  He must have nearly every mod possible  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Clarion VRX928RVD

Has a lot of good functions but Im a little dissapointed with the touch screen features. They are very limited, for instance - the volume, changing tracks & changing disk are all done only on those tiny buttons across the bottom

My wife has a Kenwood with better touch screen capabilities

as far as sound & vid, there not a lot better than this machine

Blimey   s:shock: :shock: s:shock: !!  Look at those speakers! Or are they a thin disguise for some sort of vertical take off/hover feature  s:lol: :lol: s:lol: ? I'm sure I saw similar in a documentary recently about the latest Lockheed fighter jet....that's just about exactly where you'd put a 'fanlift' device in a 2 as well.

Post by: Anonymous on August 15, 2003, 16:24
why have you got a 5 channel amp when you only have 4 speakers????

You would maybe bridge 2 of the channels down to mono to power the subs and run them in series! yes /no ??

but still that only takes 4 chennels !   s:?: :?: s:?:  

Puzzeling, unless you have used the spare chennel to go active on the front comps but teh MB quarts wont handle that much power   s:?: :?: s:?:  

give me answers now LOL   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Im going to do something new and different, Ive been getting too many hints that "certain " people like my stereo setup. so it was good for a few shows but next week I think Im going to go the conservative route & hide everything as best I can. Rears - Kicker 5" components, will go on the black plastic storage doors like Drew & Kabinski, I guess
