Well going without tunes finally got to me and I made my way over to ABC Auto Electronics on Chicago’s West Side where my guy Carlos hooked me up. These guys were pros… they kept me in my budget, finished some of the work that I we had started in the back, and did the complete install in a day.
Originally we were planning to install two 12’s, but that would have been disaster and made me deaf. The one I have now POUNDS and I feel giddy like when I was 16 and put my first set of 6x9’s in the back of my Subaru wagon. Not everything is perfect and I need to play with the box to help make it fit better and the head unit and storage box below doesn’t look 100% as the fit isn’t perfect, however I think some type of cover below could be fabricated that will look better. Here are the specs…
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X494
Sony 6X9 rear shelf speakers
Kicker Pro Series 500 watt amp
Kicker Pro Series 600 watt amp
One Infinity 12” subwoofer and enclosure
Bottomline is this system sounds good… need door speakers to round out the sound and I’ll be blasting Guns N’ Roses for years. Plus, the bass adjuster (or “fun knob”) is just awesome.
This spring, I’ll be tackling the rest of the stuff on my list to make the Stinger look better than ever, including repairs to the body damage from a few years ago, a new headliner and some final GS mods to the ECU.
Rock it out!
From top down: Head unit, bass knob, Sirius Satellite receiver (installed previously)
Sub in the pack - note the ghetto ice scraper as a brace (that will be fixed soon)
