If this is a demo car, the point could be exactly why you are saying this is a waste... Customer says "I want a 13 speaker install done." installer says "listen to this car. What do you hear different and what do you like more? I just saved you 10k on your install" Some people just need to experience it for themselves to realize why less is more.

Looks like they addressed this issue in post 18. Sounds like this may be a demo vehicle of sorts from some of the wording used in early posts. "Question about the volume control... Did you lose control of your car’s volume knob, or are you doing this purely for EQ reasons? I leave the OEM volume at level 28 as it's a strong non-clipped signal before the bass begins to attenuate at higher levels. I use the DRC-200 controller installed in the center console for all volume and subwoofer control to avoid having my EQ change with the volume. This gives me a consistent sounding tune at all times. It's also how I toggle between the factory DTS Neural processing and a more traditional 2-channel audio system on the fly."

How big is the dog? My brother has dogs over 100lbs each. He uses a regular seat cover and has a harness for the dogs you put the seat belt through to restrain them.

Phone is being stupid right now. It only copies half of the link. I had to manually type the last one. Good music so far, hopefully some other members will start sharing.

this HTML class. Value is https://youtu.be/SSfft6DYvs4 Hopefully the link works, listened to this album on the way home from work.

Wow, can't even image. Glad to hear everyone is fine. Hopefully they can expedite the house and get you back in sooner than a year.

This came up in a different thread recently. I'm not sure how to link to thread but this was the response that was relevant.

I haven't had time to play with mine but they have a competition timer mode. You may have had that selected and it stopped at the end of the time limit. Just an idea.

Looked up the manual, blue and white seems to be the wire.

You could check your voltage at the radio. I've had a radio only put out 6v and I just tapped into my switched from the ignition. Not a good way to do it but in a pinch. Might be better to use a switch instead of ignition switched.

Really like that port. Can't wait to see the rest. Keep it up.

Nice looking box. Good luck with the rest of the build. Looking forward to updates.

Glad to see the progress. Keep it up.

Working way too much like usual. 6 days down another 6 to go before a small break. I think I know the feeling. Just figure out what's going to make you happy and stick with it.

I'm not much of a Chrysler fan anymore. Even more when i seen the robots they are using as of late. Just don't trust them. I'm a little biased on my manufacturing equipment though. Everything is built to a specification so I guess they would be fine.

I feel you. Never easy hearing those noises. I hope it turns out to be something easy.

That's great to know Infinite, I may take you up on that offer when it comes time to tune everything up perfect.

Just got shipping information for everything except the subwoofer. Figure that will come in a few weeks after it gets built. Pretty excited for early Christmas presents.

Fyi... You are one of the members that helped me make that decision. So thank you.

Davison, so not very far away.

Looking good, I'm going to have to start planning out my box soon. I'm already behind everyone.

Doesn't sound fancy at all. Looking forward to it.

Nice box. I haven't heard of the duratex before your post. How did you apply it? It looks very nice and I may use it in the future. Hope to see more of this build soon.

The evil looked a little too scary for me. Xcon will be my biggest sub so far. I'm recently getting back into the car audio scene after an 8 year hiatus. Seams like so much has changed, just glad there is a place like this to get back up to speed. My local shops have not been overly helpful. They have the "pay and I'll make it work" mentality. I'd rather do the parts I know and get help with the stuff I don't. Biggest hurdle is time right now. Long hours at work for the upcoming future. Thanks for the heads up on delivery times ManzKea. I did read that in some of the threads already. I work in manufacturing so I understand lead time and what hand built involves (although I would love a tour if that's even remotely possible). Hopefully I'll have a few build logs from you guys to keep myself motivated till my equipment comes in.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I decided on the all SSA based purely on the forum participants. I'm the type that spends a few weeks listening to every speaker at every shop for hours on end... yes I'm that guy. Buying stuff I haven't heard makes me a little nervous but I know the depth of knowledge here can help me make this a great install. I'll probably wait till spring to start anything. Michigan winters with no heater in garage makes for very little motivation. I still have to figure out my head unit and a possible dsp and most importantly which vehicle is getting the SSA treatment. I'll start a build log when I figure out the rest of the components.
