Hey guys haven't really posted on here in forever, but I've been in college so not much time to mess around with the tb. I recently had fall break and got all of my stereo finished up for the most part! Then my sony head unit took a crap on me so i decided to buy a new JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79. From what I can tell its only sold at crutchfield and I got it on sale for 119. The 3 pairs of preamp outs and the preamp volts at 5 are really what made me decide to get this over the alpine deck I was looking at. My only gripe about it is the front usb, don't really care for it but it seams that is the way any head unit is going these days. Enough about the head unit, in the back of the tb, I have my sub amp and my 2 channel mounted to an amp wrack. In front of that is the beast of the Sundown Audio SA-15. I added Pioneer components to the front door with tweeters mounted on the upper portion of the door. Along with a toggle switch mounted by my foot to keep the fuzz away, they're really uptight in my area :no:. Also I just finished up the install of my Viper 350 alarm system.

Even though I say my install is done, I know it's not and in the future I am for sure going to build a new box out of a stronger wood than MDF (you can see my one corner is chipped of by the port, and the sub is also literally ripping itself out of the box by backing the screws out). I also want to add components to the rear and a few more tweeters in the car. Pics of the install are below tell me what you think! (Woodwork again is pretty crappy but I plan on rebuilding them it's just temporary till I'm on winter break for school). Plan on getting a video up soon of the system while its playing.

Curious, what does the foot toggle switch do? I've never heard of this, is it common in an audio system build?

To the second poster, not really anything to look out for if you've installed a head unit before it installs like any other head unit that I've done.

And the switch once you toggle it, it breaks the connection in the remote wire to the amplifier of the sub. So basically once you toggle it, it instantly shuts of you sub, but once you toggle it back it will turn back on in about 5 seconds. Just something I like to have that way my music still keeps playing but the sub isn't going when I go by cops!
