So i take it you decided not to use a front end since you were using the powermate then?Amazing install,mine won't be nearly as sweet.What did you do about powering the mini?Do you just run an invertor and shut it down when you park it for the night?

How do you like the Tru's?I almost bought a sh-1 for my install,but i decided it was too much,going to run Arc xxk's now.Heard good things about the re's too.I bet that dakota digital setup cost you a pretty penny too.I've seen the prices for a standard dash setup before .The company is based in a town about 8 hours from me.

How does it work for functionality to use the powermate for audio?I may try this until a good front end is released.Once again,awesome install!

There aren't any frontend's available for the Mac as far as I know, although there are a couple in development (come on hybrid, release iMeedia!). When the front ends do come however, the powermate will be doing it's thang still, as it has the ability to take custom settings for custom apps

Thanks man, I really appreciate the kind words.

Currently, yes, however I have a Carnetix CNX-P1900 winging it's way to me.

I love my setup hardware wise, the amps are awesome, and kick out waaaay more than their rated figures. Pretty looking too, and fit in 100% with my look, which was pretty much pure coincidence The R.E's are sick, and can handle 3000w - but are still extremely good handling subs, great SQ.

Actually I thought their setup was really reasonablly priced considering the impact that it has. Anyone that see's it in the flesh is just dumbfounded at how cool it looks.

The Powermate has several 'functions' - Click, Rotate Right, Rotate Left, Click+Rotate Right, Click+Rotate left etc. For iTunes for instance, I have click as pause/play, rotate right increases the volume, rotate left decreases the volume, and click+rotate skips to the previous/next track. As I said, the controls are programmable on a per-program basis, so I have different settings depending on what program i'm using

cant really say anything that anyone hasnt said before really, ENVY!

looked at that dakota digital stuff a few years ago, and dam it was very expensive, but when you compare it to similar things like standard dash pannels and STACK dash systems its really not bad at all as said

I'm only 22, so as you can imagine insurance is pretty spiteful here in the UK on a car as rare as this. Engine modifications are a bit out of the question at the moment, although i've still managed to do a little bit
