New DD Unit

I had recently sold the Alpine 9855 because I wanted a DD unit and Navi. I opted for the Kenwood ddx-8017, it's a great unit for $650.00. It has great features such as crossover, time aligment, para eq and 5V out. A 2007 remotely mounted navi (Garmin KNA-G510) is on the way. Both units $1100.00.

I had to get a new dash kit because I threw away the DD trim ring when I installed the Alpine unit.

Thanks to tips from a couple people on here, I painted the new AI Kit SEM Graphite. The result wasn't perfect but It's way better than the black. The paint is very durable.

Ohhhhh....that type of double D unit.......damn:eek:

It came down to this one or the 6019. The 6019 was a better fit for my needs. Good luck and keep us updated with your installation.

VPBK, you are working on one seriously nice setup, hopefully we can connect at a meet so I can see and hear it.

are you going to death valley?

are you going to death valley?
wasn't planning, when is that?

23rd-25th

i'm 50/50

that's right, no I will be on a cruise with my beautiful wife, and as much as I would like to connect with other ROC'ers I would definitely rather spend time with her cruising to Mexico for 5 days. :)

Edit: we have a timeshare that has places in Palm Springs and Indio that I have been wanting to get to, if we get out there in the near future I will try and see if we can connect.
