i had posted pictures at one time, but something happened a few years back which pissed me off enough to delete them all. :mad:

so no, i dont have any picts. :D

on mine i took some scrap oak planks and made the extensions to cover
about 1/2 to 3/4 way up the rhino ramp with supports underneith.

the extensions are then screwed down to the rhino while in use. it's a very
effective extension all made by hand.... i dont have a power saw or sander. :ugh:

Well, we will see how it goes tonight. I have the wood around to make it work.

Finished installing my Polk components (db6501) and Alpine power pack amp (KTP-445U) - so happy I ditched the stock speakers! This amp is seriously awesome too - fits behind the headunit and taps into the factory wiring for so you don't need to run a separate power cable (and puts out 90w RMS x 2 at that!)

polkaudio is good stuff. for the price 6501's are the best components out there imo as far as sound and ease of installation. i run them in my G.

oh... i c. i think you're going to like those speakers. if i ever decide to swap my Z's speakers out,
it will be the db6501's for sure. but ive been pretty happy with just the AVH-4500BT's eq and
processors. :D

I have been following this thread on the forum. It is a great place to
collect all the needed research and opinions before spending any money.
:hello:

I was going to go for the MM6501's but decided to go a bit cheaper. Maybe one day I'll upgrade, but with the stock headunit I don't know if I should go much further right now.

i think you will be happier getting an aftermarket HU next vs getting better speakers for your stock radio. :D

kenchan 07-31-2014 04:18 PM

especially the pioneers have a real nice EQ...

I truly hate the look of most aftermarket HUs, which is why I'm sticking with stock. Blaupunkt makes pretty OEM looking units for a really good price, just not high on my priority list :-)

that's odd... my pioneer doubledin looks factory finish in my ride. :D
even the button illumination colors are set to amber/red to match.

and steering wheel controls work, so does rear view camera.

there is a longer version of the 56 though with even less slope.
