Damn. That is some amazing work. You weren't kidding when you said that you had me beat with the PG amps. I still cannot say how much I love that Dakota. I wanted to sell my GTI and buy that when I saw yo uwere selling it. (If you don't mind me asking, what did it go for?) As for the rest of those setups.... teach me. LoL


Now I know I posted on the last page, but I have my sub running off of the line out converter. I know the best way is to run RCA's back from an aftermarket head unit.... but with the monsoon speakers (amped kind of weird like Bose I believe) I don't think I can just slap in a head unit. I think I will need to at least run all new wiring and maybe new speakers.

Do you know offhand what I would need to do? Reccomendation on head unit and speakers if I need them? Best bang for the buck, but not cheap crap. I think that makes sense.... Only extra car audio I have right now is that PG 300.4 sitting around.

Thanks

Thanks....
I do miss that truck...it sold for $21,500 as you see in the pics....I paid 25k for it though and had it 4 years....
I really miss the Cobra too...I sold that for 17k which is what I bought it for 3 years earlier, and I put it back to stock when I sold it
Man I wish I could have kept them all


As for the monsoon....Im not really sure. I do remember working on a Jetta with that system, but I cant remember if I changed the HU our not.
Something tells me I did, and just used the stock amp/speakers.

On some vehicles, all you have to do is hook up the HU like normal with a harness adaptor, then turn on the factory amp with the remote wire thats in the harness.

On HU's, I like Pioneer, preferably the Premier line, they're easy to use, look good and sound good. I hardly have any customers come back with problems either.
Alpine is nice too, but lately they're getting stupid on how the controls work making it difficult to work them, compared to Pioneer's.
We used to deal with Clarion back in the day, they were nice too, not sure how they are now though.
