Re: Shovelhd media/nav upgrade

As usual I changed my mind. I've sold off almost all of my old car audio equipment and have started accumulating the new stuff.

I went with the Kenwood DDX-6019/KNA-G510 HU/nav combo (known as the P-NAV6019) instead of the Z1. It just was a better fit for my needs and my budget. The Z1 is awesome, and the Z2 will be even better. CES sucks.

I added the Bluetooth adapter, TV tuner, Sirius adapter, and iPod adapter. I don;t yet know where I'm going to stuff all that stuff. Hopefully behind the front of the center console.

I also bought the PAC SWI-ALP steering wheel control adapter.

That's all I've purchased so far. This is what's on the plate for the next round.

Front/rear stage amp: Eclipse XA4000. I can get such a nice deal through a buddy at CC that I have to get this one.

Sub amp: Either the Eclipse DA7122 or something equivalent. What's most important is what will fit. the XA4000 is not small so the sub amp has to go on the right side (facing rear) behind the seat. I need a Class D 1000W+ amp at 2 or 1 ohm. I'm also looking at the Hifonics Brutus or the Alpine PDX-1000.1 because of their small size. The Alpine is pricey and may blow the budget.

Front comps: Diamond Audio HEX S600s. I love the sound.

Rear speakers: Diamond Audio 661s. A decent match, and they won;t be playing very loud anyway. Mostly just for fill when I've got a DVD on.

Subs: (2) Diamond Audio D610, dual 2 or 4 ohm depending on the amp. I like these because they have good SQ, like power, and are less than 6" deep.

Box: I think I'm going to go with that $100 on eBay and see how that sounds.

Input is welcome.
