The Performer Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've got it and love it! I'd recommend it to anyone, but don't think it's going to be a plug and play setup for dummies. This deck is made for sound quality and as so it's pretty important to do all the fine tuning with it and you WILL be impressed. I've used the same setups (amp and subs) and transferred them to many friends vehicles and no other head units out there can compare. Like I say, buy it. You will NOT be disappointed. Enough said.

trainman0978 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 al & ed's out of southern california is a authorized internet dealer. Got mine from there when I was in huntington beach earlier this year. And their prices are usually WAY better than crutchfield. That is if your are concerned with buying from a authorized dealer. if not try woofers etc. Btw. got the same unit , AND I LOVE IT... I strongly recommend you get the imprint kit too...

The Performer Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I want to imprint my truck, but damn if it's gotta wait. Right now I'm still building the new box for behind the seat, and I've yet to replace all of the stock speakers and add components. THEN, after all that money, get my imprint on! The kit looks like it would be nice, but i don't know if I can afford it for as much as I would use it. My local shop has the equipment, and they charge $40 to do it so I'll probably just let them do it when I'm finished with the build. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!!

trainman0978 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I strongly suggest you save up the 200 or so and buy the ktx-100eq. You will want to run it a few times. I bet I have honestly ran it 15 times if not more. A few tips and tricks can be found here. Although the thread is long , somewhere in the last four or five pages or so , there is a guy that is a huge audessy home audio nut and he puts out some great tuning advice. Some of the obvious stuff is , adjusting the sub amp so the gain is turned way down before running the imprint, and turning it back up to the proper input voltage afterward. The imprint will try to muffle your bass, to "match" the rest of your system . Spending forty bucks a run will get expensive once you start trying to dial it in properly. If you lived closer to me, I would offer you to come over and use mine as often as you like. And look around, sometimes on some of the forums, the imprint kits pop up for sale from time to time...

Hmmm, that does seem to make more sense now that you say why to buy it. I guess it would be a while before I'm ready for it, so in that time I can keep my eyes peeled for a system. Thanks for that link btw, that does have alot of good info on the system. Definitely just bookmarked that! Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything.
