SWEET Install(s) man! Big

I have been VERY happy with my Kenwood DNX6140. The user interface in DNX6960 is a lot better than 6140 IMO. I have the exact same Mic position and works pretty well

. I must thank MATT (Bigaudiofanat) for a fantastic job

Mine

Your

K40 setup =

Very good job!

oh BTW, follow this instruction to mirror your backup cam. This way you can see everything normal (i.e. reading license plates or "RESERVED" normally

)

VERY Nice upgrade. The interface (looking at OP's) is much better than 6140. I hope they don't charge your credit card later if they do find out

With that size amp, I understand there isn't many places for it to go, but attached to the box would be my last option, personally.

Great job on the install! Very clean, very nice!

Would the amp fit on the shelf behind the driver or passenger?

LudeSH01 · 03-27-2010, 08:34 AM

Yea 2fast. It's a bad location right now. But I'm still working on adding a Jo 4 channel and changing out factory speakers. Then build a cover for the amps. I still have 3.5 inches of clearance so right now that's the plan. Behind the seat was going to melt the back of the seat and I won't screw into the plastic so.. Will post more pics when complete

nuTinmuch · 03-27-2010, 01:20 PM

Very nice setup. Extremely clean.

phelan · 03-27-2010, 02:24 PM

Great setup.

General question for all you guys who are modding the head unit, if that's your GPS screen, what do you think about the placement? Seems pretty low to me to be reading directions / looking at maps on

You take what you can get. Right now I'm using my iPhone TomTom app which is mounted to the passenger knee bolster pad. Is it ideal...nope. Is it better than nothing? You betcha.

spearfish25 · 03-28-2010, 10:10 AM

Lude,

How do you like the integration of the Kenwood so far? Is it easy to listen to the radio/iPod and have Nav running?

How is the traffic with the nav...well integrated?

The 6960 is high on my list, but I need something that gets rave reviews. Putting a new navi unit in the car in the next couple weeks.

alvinmathew88 · 03-28-2010, 08:28 PM

Wait.. How did you manager to hook up the Bose speakers to headunit & Use a different set of sub?

bigaudiofanat · 03-28-2010, 09:26 PM

I do not think it would be possible to use the factory speakers with the new head unit the ohms of the bose speakers would burn out the head units amp. Plus I do not think his model has the bose system.

He has a touring from the looks of the pics. So, he would have to have the Bose system.

wow! great job man! looks very prof and clean!

alvinmathew88 · 03-29-2010, 05:13 AM

Im really curious as to how OP used Bose + Kenwood unit together..

bigaudiofanat · 03-29-2010, 07:49 AM

The bose speakers can not be that good compared to what aftermarket would be. I just hope he does not fry his head unit that is all I am worried about.
