New Equipment Ordered

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

Hey guys. I've been out of the CA game for a while and just recently decided to spend some moola to get back into it. I drive ~40 minutes to work and ~ 40 minutes home so I am spending a lot more time in my car. Currently I have the Alpine CDA-9853, ID XS-28s (highs), and Dayton B652 6.5s I removed from my bookshelf speakers (needed some mids and had these laying around). The doors and trunk are deadened from previous installs. The speakers are run active using the head unit x-over and power. This got me through for the past ~4-5 years without a problem.

Here is what I have ordered:

HU: Pioneer AVH-P3700BHS

Highs: Image Dynamic XS-28 (already have them)

Mids: Image Dynamic CX62

Sub: Image Dynamic ID12D4V3

Sub Enclosure: 1 ft^3 sealed

Amp: Precision Power P900.5

Battery: Kinetik HC1200

Wiring: Stinger 6 channel RCAs and the usual 4awg power/ground, remote wire, speaker wire, fuse holder, etc.

I also ordered a USB/AUX extension to mount next to my cig. lighter for easier access.

I plan on running everything active off of the HU. I am just excited for everything to come in. I plan to hold off on the install until everything arrives so I'm not removing the same panels each time something new arrives. I will try to remember to take pictures so that you guys can see the install in my 2009 Pontiac G5.

BTW I will have my Alpine CDA-9853 for sale once I install my new equipment.

Um, ok? This thread should have been a build log, because I don't see a question. But at least you got some good gear.

I believe this section is in "General Audio Discussion." With that being the case, the equipment, the vehicle, the install, etc can be discussed. I don't think this section requires questions, but it's been a while since I've been hanging around here so maybe things have changed....??

Sorry for not having more information/pictures. I can take some pictures of the equipment that has already arrived if it will make you happier. There won't be much of a "build" so to say. The box is prefab. Since it is sealed, it is a lot cheaper and easier for me to buy prefab than buy an entire sheet of MDF, have Home Depot cut it up so I can put it in my coupe, cut the pieces with a circular saw, etc. I will take some pictures of the install and create a "build log" for those interested in a Chevy Cobalt/Pontiac G5 install.

LOL I'll sell it to you for what I paid and buy another one. Or you can just go to an online store and purchase for the same amount.

What did you get it for? I have been looking for 1 as well as a hc3800.

Well, the battery that came with my car is on its way out so I bought it to be the only battery in the car. It is small and fits nicely in the spare tire well where the factory battery is located. I ran my Crossfire VR705d on the factory electrical system just fine without dimming or any issues so I am hoping this will be fine for my Precision Power P900.5. Aside from the audio listed in the OP and factory components, I don't have any additional electrical draw.

EDIT: The HC1200 has a lot higher CCA and overall "juice" than the factory battery so I imagine it will do just fine.

I'll be happy to snap some pictures when I get home from work. So far I have only received the Pioneer 3700, HC1200, 18awg remote wire, and 4awg power/ground wire. I was very impressed with the "cheap" 4 awg as far as the strands and flexibility. I'm supposed to be getting my CX62s today and possibly some other things. Amazon says "expected arrival: 3/3/15 - 3/9/15" and most of the time it arrives before that last expected date. Shoot, the 4awg and 18awg said the expected arrival was 3/4/15 - 3/10/15 and I got those yesterday.

On a side note, I should be receiving my HTD Level 2 sub/amp combo today to pair with my HTD Level 2 towers for my home audio setup. I'm pretty excited about that little guy aside from having to wait for the in-line x-over and sub RCA that should come in Thursday.

EDIT: I forgot I also received my USB/AUX extension/flush mount, the "Video in motion" wiring kit so I can watch video while driving, and the dash kit. I had to return the dash kit and get another on shipped because the **** kit came with 2 "left" side pieces which wouldn't work for installing my double din.
