Really looks good. I really like the silver cones peeking out of the rear door grilles.

Did you originally have the Alpine speakers? What kind of box is that for your subs? Ditto on the part list please.

Awesome looking system, my question is, are you able to utilize the wheel mounted audio controls?

Yes I am able to use steering wheel controls. It costs about $125 for that particular cable.

They are 10" subs.

The box is made specific for RAM trucks. You have to take the lid off the storage compartment. Box fills entire compartment.

I'll have to talk to the installer about the specific items. More info to come.

Crutchfield.com has all the cables you need in order to make everything work. There is a specific adapter cable that makes the steering wheel controls work. they're a little more sensitive than they were before but they work. If you hold down volume up or down, it will rapidly increase/decrease volume. You have to develop a new "feel" for them. I am also able to watch DVD and navigate while driving.

The amp is under the passenger seat.

The unit has no hard drive. I have an Ipod with 10,000 songs on it. I can also plug any size hard drive into the usb port. I listen to Sirius radio so no need for large mp3 hard drive. I have a few mp3 dvds made. Each one has 4.5 gb of music. I have one for rock, rap, etc etc.

The unit will also play an ipod touch or my blackberry music with no wires via bluetooth. This is a very cool feature.

There is a mini usb port in back for updating wallpaper, unit software, etc etc.
