Default putting a system in the truck!

I have a cc sport that has the media package with the speakers and the sub.. I want to switch it out, and the amp probably but am kind of curious as to what I could do.. Just hoping to get some ideas or pictures of what some of you have already done! thanks!

Did you hook this up yourself? Where did you get the input signal for the amp?

Man, my CC Sport w/Media Pkg, Alpine System, is at the shop as we speak, getting that exact same setup installed. 2 10" Kicker CVR, with 1800 watt Power Acoustik Amp. I got the enclosure and subs for $125 (used), the amp for $137 (new) from ebay, and the install is running my $160 for top notch setup.

As with any Amp installation, if you are not switching out the radio, you need to use a hi/lo converter, there are no RCA's (line-outs) on the stock unit.

I'll post pics, as soon as I can........ BTW this is my first ever post, I got my truck about 4 months ago, and I've been reading the site since, but never registered.

Thanks for the warm welcome.......

that a pretty good deal i paid 150 just for the box but its all fiberglass with a wood top they had to do it like that to get all the air out of it. i paid 600 for everything with the hi/lo setup i like it but now im thinking of putting 2 12's shallow mounts sub
