It was a joke, plus i could never change the name, I already bought the domain name to start advertising my truck, kinda like a worklog, but for all aspects of the build including exterior, interior, and engine.

thats niceeeeeeeeeeeee, looks OEM, im praying that I can take my dash to Nexson, which does beautiful fiberglass work, he happens to be two cities away from me. You guys should check out his work, he does out of state work if im not mistaken. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabr...6k-killer.html

MGD, thanks for the welcome and you're more than welcome to share your comments/suggestions - your install looks wicked

I love the Chrysler load screen

how big is your touchscreen (it looks like 7") and where in the world did you get that wood bazel???

i know i dont poke my head in at mp3car.com a lot but i had to say something.... you have such a nice car but your putting in crappy stuff from ebay and that x-plore amp... do yourself a favor and get a nice alpine 4channel amp or something like that. i have owned many alpine amps and their sound quality is good.. myself, im getting ready to drop about 6 large on the zapco dc reference amps

sorry, didn't mean to sound rude, but it's almost rude to the car to put crappy equipment in it

The screen is a 8" 16:9 ratio in a custom made housing to fit in the center console as a direct replacement with the original head unit. The bezel itself was bough at Mopar Super Store for $ 58.00, Dealer wanted $105.00. The wood trim was from a dash trim kit. I will take that one out and put a new one in painted to match the car color. When I am done with it, you can have this one $50 shipped.
Here is the Startup screen.

Good Luck.

LOL no problem, I noted that all suggestions and comments are welcome

and no, I am not going with that - I'll most certainly go with 2 motorcycle aps, if not then 4-channel amp will be there for sure

see I'm going to make custom bazel myself and also paint it to match outside color as well - only think I'm lacking is TIME, I work too much damn it!

where did you get that software - what are you running as your front end?

**MGD** · 03-20-2008, 10:20 PM

That's Road Runner with my owen skin.
Yea, I hear you with working to much, I need some days with at least 30 hours.
Good Luck and keep up the good work.

I agree with you, no time at allllllll..... Having 3 puppies doesnt help, their just like kids, always want to do bad things, or cry for attention......... This weekend I hope to finish all the electrical, got all my relays today, then by next weekend my KINO-690S1 should be in. Then I can start loading everything on the HDD.
