The 510 would have been a step down for me. In fact you might look at the EPX2 as they are going pretty cheap. They take analog only for the input, but are good units.

Typically the H701 go for $500 for the brain, but $375 is a pretty low price. If you don't use the headunit to control it you would need the RUX controller which is about $150-$200 and it has a dedicated volume knob.

I'm thinking that i'm going to save for a couple weeks and get the H701 since it's gone down so much. I will then sell the 9860 and get the c701 to control it.

Thanks for helping me understand the H701 and the differences between it and other models/ brands. I will just save and get the one I know I'll be happy with, i don't want to half-*** my install in this car, i want everything to be exactly what i want and not something I'll want to change later (at least not knowing that i will when i buy it) but anyways i shot a picture of the computer cover from how you look at it while standing behind the car.

I'm thinking about cutting the other side to make it look the same and moving the jack to just in front of the spare tire. this way I'll be able to make both sides look the exact same and i can mount the H701 behind it and have matching plexi windows on both sides. what do you guys think?

Great thread so far! I think that is a great idea to have matching covers on both sides and put the H701 on the other. Can't wait to see how it looks!

That will work.

Do you think the carpet matches? It looks somewhat lighter in color. You could probably get some dark gray spray dye or have you considered using trunk liner material? That would help it blend in and give it more of an OEM or stealth appearance.

I'm going to actually use that bedliner on my bezel when i repaint it. The carper matches the seats, the plastic is a different color. I'll go out and take a couple pictures with different settings on my camera and see if i can get you a more *real life* looking shot.

blueglitch~ thanks, I'm going to make the cover for the other side just before i get my H701

**JasonWW** · 05-09-2007, 05:22 PM

Yeah, the camera can sometimes make the colors look really different when they match pretty close when seen with the eye.

Well i hope you can tell in these, i have to change the format in photoshop tho, photobucket won't accept tiff so i tryed jpeg and png (never used it before)
