Has any one put in the new dash kit in their 08 lancer .....?does it look good (factory) material.....? I'm waiting for my paycheck so i can order it.....i ain't gonna put in a dvd head unit like others have done already. I think its to much for this car.......so im going with a alpine cd receiver head unit call me ol' shcool but its what i like. I got polk audio's in the doors and 2 12" Kicker CVX's 750(RMS) each with a Kicker amp 1500.1 (MONO) pushin those so i think i'll be alright on the bass side i'm going to get some tweeters for those stock locations up by the side mirrors.........I think this will be preaty fu*king loud.........does any one have any systems................. was up with all you guys....any body doing some serious audio upgrades in there 08 Lancer.......................holla at me...........

 

im going to be installing either 2 12inch kicker L7's or 2 12inch JL Audio W6's
then 2 3000w mtx thunder elite amps which i will mount on the back of the driver and front passenger seat.....cus they glow andf it will look killer
im lookin to get this between may and august

 

you sure our alternator can handle all dat charging of the electrical system...dat's a lot of power you going to be pushin

 

well of course it will be capped and most likely ill need a seperate battery

 

^You will need a seperate battery. I have two "10's and a cap and the lights still dim off of a 800W amp! We have a very sh!tty alternator

 

^ +1

Mine dimmed very badly even with a cap. So I put in some HID's and now it's all good.

 

yea im also looking into HID there damn sexy

 

i was also lookin for some hid'z was up with that what kit did you use where did you get them from..........

 

ive been looking at mobilehids.com
but im focusing on blacking out the front center of my car and then
Injen CAI
Greddy cat-back
and leather interior
then i will get the HIDs and tnt my fog lights yellow

 

I had to dump my kicker 15's, due to no space, but am replacing them with two T1 10s. Orion 1200 d amp. Wont be the loudest, but will still rattle your eyes.

BTW, i posted pics of my dash kit in the how to section.

This alternator will have to go. ALong with an optima bat. Ill have to upgrade the alt. I dont use caps anymore, because no matter how many ive used, ive never seen it make a difference. The biggest difference comes in batteries and amps from your Alternator. I can buy one bat, and upgrade the alternator for $300 and get the same effect as 20 farads. IMO

 

batteries won't help as much as a stronger alternator

 

^+1 yea, but if you only need a little, a battery is much easier to change.

 

i dont know how u guys live with all that rattling of the car once u turn up ur stereo.. i have 2 12's and when i go 17and up out of 40...the whole rear rattles like a damn baby's rattling toy...

 

Depends on the settings. You can achieve the same audible level with your radio whether you are at 17 or 37, depending on gain levels on amplifiers.

 

So True, I have 2 1o Kicker Solarbaric L5's and the lights dim. sounds tight as hell but after putting 20 Sq Feet of Dynamatt and some foam in the trunk to stop the rattles sounds better, I have a Cap on order and will be reciving it soon. I havent seen the Dash kit yet, it should look nine though.
