2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab
Alpine 9855 head unit $500
Crossfire VR404 50x4 amp $350
Crossfire VR302 300x1 amp $300
Polk Audio Signature Reference $750
Polk Audio MM2104 $120
Homemade box (with 4 sides) covered in Dynamat $50
Tsunami 4 guage amp power kit (no distribution block) $50
Electrical tape $.99
Monster Standard cables $.70/ft
Bunch of Dynamat $???

---

Desperately needed upgrades:
Audiocontrol EQS $300 or maybe (if I can afford one) an Alpine H701 $700

---

Future upgrades:
Mids in the kick panels (not until next competition season)
A whole bunch more Dynamat $????

---

Potential upgrads if I ever come up with the money:
Polk Audio Signature Reference sub
Either Polk Audio 400.4 / 500.1 amps or Xtant 4.4 / 6.1 amps

Im pretty much set right now in the way of equipment. I will never compete with anything other than my beloved Polk speakers and my Crossfire amps are getting the job done so other than desperately needing a good EQ, a lot more vibration damping and eventually moving my mids locations, Im fairly set.

Maybe a new headunit, depending on if my friend buys this one or not. Thinking about possibly the P9

Funny. I figured Thom would be a better installer than that. At least youve got the Ipod tho!

Don't let his facade fool you. Polk has been outsourcing their show car installs to India.

I heard he gives them to CarToys to get the hotness done...... or you can come to Autotech to get the best in custom sound and security.....

spwuinmk67

I think I just changed my mind on my hu. Pioneer's new stuff is out, and the 980 and 880 both look great. The only decision I'm having trouble making now, is do i want the reg 16 band eq, or the 16 band l/r eq. Any thoughts?

JVC cd
Infinity Reference 6.5 in the doors, 4x6 in dash, XTC baffles, 1st order caps inline at 200hz (dash), 120hz (doors)

Future?

Not sure, I'll get something else and trick it up, and keep the S-10 as a spare vehicle.

I always thought they were CGI.

The main thing I wanted to see at Polkfest '05 was the demo cars but by some strange coincidence they were in Atlanta. How convenient.
