Btw why does everyone like the stock head unit. I switched mine out and it's much more convenient and I actually think the signal is cleaner. |

The stock head unit has the stock look.

That and the extra stuff you have to through to make it right like moving the old head unit to somewhere else in the car . Also if you are doing an amp and speaker mod on a Hi Fi or L7 you never have to get behind the dash unless you are doing a center speaker. Only once on here have I seen a mounting bezel that didn't look bad.(There was a guy on here making custom bezels at one point) The are basically all a flat piece of plastic. The thing about the dinayvin is it kind of looks like it belongs in the dash. Last edited by ctuna; 10-29-2013 at 11:09 AM.. |

I know this is a little off topic but it kind of surprises me that everyone on this site has modified their cars and audio systems so much, but hardly anyone is willing to switch out the headunit. IMO it's the best upgrade I've done so far. |

Great diagram! Thank you! And lastly (hopefully), where can I get some pictures of connecting the "add-a-tweeter"? I tried search. I see your post here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...&highlight=top But it is missing some pictures in the middle. I am guessing: 1. Buy 65139217912 - L7 tweeter 2. Buy xxx connector 3. Use xxx (cookie tin) to mount next the center speaker 4. Connect it to xxx I just want to get everything done at once. Thanks again. |

4 gauge is a pain as its thickness raises the panels and trunk lid you're trying to sneak it under. I think you can run huge amounts of current through 8 gauge if the run is relatively short. I have 900W running through 8 gauge no problems, no significant voltage drops.

It's hard for me to imagine it looking better from what I've seen in google image search. A/m HUs are like 60% as wide as the climate controls and all look strange to me. Not criticizing, I'm genuinely interested in your setup.

The rearview camera is just a cheap camera I got off ebay that replaces the license plate light. I am planning on getting front and rear Alpine camera's soon. As you can see the dash kit doesn't stick out much, its actually not very noticeable. |

Bezel could be better.
Bezel could be better.
I saw one where the the bezel wasn't a flat it counter sunk to meet the edges of the unit with diagonal lines from the corners that looked pretty good. Also if you could do something like that with the heater space it would look nice. Also it doesn't look quite centered from the pictures but it could be the angle of the camera. |

I was looking at the bezel and I'm pretty sure I could modify it so its flush at the bottom not sure its worth the effort though, I might just get a second one to try it on. |

Kaigoss69, I just wanted to clarify the 18" length for the power. Is the 18" from the battery to the inline-fuse? or 18" total from battery to the fuse block?
Also, Technic's power wire from the battery is 4 gauge I believe, do I still use the same amps for the fuses? I am guessing that from the battery to the inline fuse is a 4 gauge (technic) and from inline to the fuse block is 8 gauge? Thank you. Last edited by hoonywise; 10-30-2013 at 11:37 AM.. |

Is this okay to wire it like this? Is it safe, or do I still need the inline fuse?
