My stereo install...lots of pics (and more to come)

I recently installed the same headunit and I must say it is extremely impressive. User friendliness is definately out of the question unless the Nav portion is being used. I still havent set everything up yet. I think as far as DD headunits go, with the Nav add-on, the DDX-8019 is the total package. Again, not too user friendly but it's still a phenominal piece. Good luck with it and have fun. I'll be playing with mine all week.

Mounting the tweeters in the door panels was maybe 30 minutes each side. I bought a drill bit that cuts the hole. I think it's 1.75" for my tweeters. You can find them in many different sizes at any Home Depot or Lowes. Then, just pop the tweeters in and do the screw on the back to hold them in. Not difficult if you have even a small level of carpentry skills.
And, yes, I agree that the stock location is too bright. Too many sound reflections off the windshield.

~20lbs for dynamat
~25lbs for subwoofer and enclosure
~30lbs for amps and amp rack
~10lbs for wiring
TOTAL of about 85lbs
But, I also took out my spare tire which I'm guessing weighs about 35-40lbs. So, net weight gain was 45-50lbs for everyday driving. Not too bad IMO. Plus, I can easily take out the sub enclosure and amp rack for track days
