Giving my daughter's boyfriend a budget build for Xmas that will get installed over Thanksgiving while he is here (we are also replacing his coils and spark plugs, he just hit 100,000 miles in September). Nobody knows I ordered this equipment today.
Head Unit - Alpine iLX-W650 (my first choice, Kenwood, was out of stock but I am happy with this one)
Speakers - JBL Club 602C Front Doors Only (Black Friday Sale - also due to holiday didn't want to get into any custom fab so purchased something that "fit" with provided adapters)
Plan is to retain SWC (Metra)
Picked up a PAC Volt 39 so back-up camera can be moved from the dedicated screen above the factory radio to the radio itself. Apparently needed to give the camera the right voltage and ground right from its connection point in the dash area.
Hoping to add an Alpine KTP-445U for the front stage if it hasn't sold yet, seller and I are in same half of the state so I may be able to get it on time.
I may bench test an old Pioneer amp I have from my late 80's early 90's car stereo days and use it to drive a couple of small door mounted subs (Kicker or JL Audio) if the amp is good. Young kid will continue moving around a lot over the next 5 to 10 years so I don't want to burden him with an enclosure. Maybe I can get one of those slim 8" subs under the front passenger seat.
As a side note, is it wrong that while I am working on my Mustang build I started thinking about a system for the Highlander and then when that was sorted out I moved on to the Silverado and then to this one. I still have my daughters car to figure out as well, a Mazda 6.
