Kenwood DNX 5140 with Polk MM6501 speakers
 
Matt:

I believe the Kenwood DNX 5140 HU is rated 50 watts peak, but I do not know it RMS rating. Does this HU have adequate power to run a set of Polk MM6501 speakers? If not, will a Alpine KTP -445 amp rated at 45 RMS plug directly into the back of a Kenwood DNX 5140 HU?

The kenwood usually does 22 watts RMS and is not recommended to run polk mm directly. The alpine ktp445 pack you speak of will NOT plug directly into the kenwood and will require time to wire it into both harnesses for it to work.

Hey Matt, I PMed you a few weeks ago to no avail about a potential job in Baltimore. Can you PM so I can give you the details?

bigaudiofanat 01-16-2011 08:40 PM

Replied and bump

Hey Matt,
Your work speaks for itself. I know a lot of your installs are pretty intense stuff. I wanted to go a lot simpler. I'm looking to swap out my stock system for a single din head unit and upgrade my speakers. I'll never be adding a sub, I want a simple setup that I can hook my ipod to. I don't need navigation, bluetooth or satellite. I also don't want a separate amp, I run a tiny braille racing batter. What head unit and speaker setup would you go with suggest?

All, I am probably not saying anything new on this forum but Matt (bigaudiofanat) did a FANTASTIC job on my nismo this weekend and I am way oversatisfied with the quality of his workmanship, his work ethic and patience.

There was so much work to be done and Matt tackled it like a champ. Matt, I hope you enjoyed the Audi R8 experience from your shakiness (I had to let all know), maybe next time around we'll get to go around for a ride.

Pics to come in shortly in album.

I would recommend the polk db's for running of the head unit and any of the alpine head units because there ipod integration is much better than other brands. Also if you wanted a little extra power there is a add on amp alpine makes that you plug into the back of your head unit and hides behind the head unit with no additional wires to run.

Anything is better than stock but the polks are a great bang for the buck.

Zowners, I am not saying anything you didn't know already but I just wanted to add that Matt is a very talented installer. I was the one slowing him down during the work with the constant food breaks and pics shots. He is like a driven mad cow on steroids :icon18:

It was 19degree and windy but Matt cracked up jokes throughout the install and did a phenomenal install job ...glad to have you down this past weekend in Bmore and thanks for the scary driving experience; now I know why my girl gets scared when riding with me on the passenger side :shakes head:

Enough said, gotta go watch 300 in my new hangout place in the garage, Matt, you think you could hook me up with a 3D projector system and popcorn machine in the car :tiphat:

TROOPER 02-07-2011 09:40 AM

I agree, Matt also did my install, and fun was had all day..!!

2011 Nismo#91 03-09-2011 01:29 PM

PM sent about doing another NISMO install =P

I'm thinking of getting one of these two head units:
Alpine INA-W900BT
Sony XNV-770BT

You are way too popular for your own good Matt :tup: come back down to Baltimore, Trooper and I will find some ways for you to chill modding our cars with new gadgets. What do you say? :icon18:
