New Sound System

pumadaman · 05-25-2011, 10:49 AM

I would first like to thank 2fast4theLaw for her great advice on the Subwoofer and AMP, Wicked CAS for the preorder and early shipment of the DNX 9980HD, Mr. Matt for install advice. My final Praise goes to Shawn at Ultimate Audio how did an amazing job at the install.
Headunit: DNX 9980HD with CMOS 300 Back-up Camera
Rear Speakers: JL Audio C3 650
Front Speakers JL Audio C3 650
Subwoofer: JL 13.5 Thin Line Subwoofer
AMP: JL 900.5

Let me say that the JL Thin Line Sub was amazing and hits very hard in the small space. Both JL C3 650 sound really good and really give me good highs and mids. As for the DNX9980, I cannot talk good enough about the headunit, very responsive, very adaptive. Also the GPS recalculates very fast and is very accurate, and very easy to use and save. I would recommend any of the follow products to people who are looking at buying a system.

Is it a LCD touchscreen? What are you able to control with the LCD? How does it get connected to the DNX 9980? What kind of work was involved in the install of the LCD screen?

Sorry for all of the questions, I am looking to do something very similar. If you have any more pictures of the completed install I would enjoy seeing them.

Thanks

No the LCD Screen is not touch screen... The DNX 9980 controls overthing, i mean everything it is great.... You can switch the two screens, you can watch you GPS on one and a video on the other, or vice versa. I truly love the setup, I just drove from Columbia, SC to Miami, FL and left the GPS on the top screen and watched movies on the other... I have had two Kenwood DNX and they are both amazing... You will not be dissappointed...

I definitely like the idea of the LCD up top for nav. I've got the 9960 and I get a little paranoid when I have to look down at it.
Nice setup.
Little too "blingy" for an old fart like me, but still real nice.

So, whta is that sticker type thing on top of the LCD screen??? Can you take a couple more pic's and show us how you got it installed and im just tryin to figure out with what you did that if it can look as clean as the factory nav, then would it be worth it.
