Default My audio system project

I have researched, made choices, and hopefully gathered most of the parts needed for my new system. The amp (sundown audio 100.4) will be here on Tues.

I am going to be busy this weekend!

I think thats the same head unit my sister has. Nice features, but not not the best controls.

I'm so glad I did mine. I think I might have to add an amp on mine. Yes chris you where right. Up high high it does not sound to good. But low and mid it sounds so much better. Thanks chris!

It was good for a stock radio. But the sound quality went up for sure.

I think what DR was getting at was the that the sound equalization controls aren't the best in the world. Not too sure you can even change individual sound frequencies.

I agree with the others. Your pile of stuff looks great, but you are lacking a little be in the H/U department. Normally, I would tell you to stay away from it and look at a different brand, but since you plan on amping the speakers, you shouldn't have an issue.

This HU has a 7 band EQ.

I thought this was a pretty good deck with all the features. I did read the controls take some getting used to, but once figured out its all good.

the 7-band eq is nice but on my pioneer I can do an eq for each speaker and i don't think jvc offers that, its nice if you have a mixed assortment of speakers
