Cool DONE! (for now)

I finally got the Kenwood DDX7019 / Garmin NAV installed with Rich's Bezel. Turns out that I like the bezel far better than I thought. Originally, I wanted the bezel to have the contour line that everyone was asking for, but this one looks extremely clean and fits very well... looks very OEM!

I also installed an Alpine PDX-5 digital amp (75x4, 300x1) powering factory speakers. My installer told me that the factory speakers were actually very good, however, the factory sub lacks punch and bottoms out pretty quickly. My installer recommended a JL stealthbox, saying that it would "wake the system up". I am past entertaining/annoying my neighbors from down the block, but I am interested in better/fuller sound quality...

Well done , looks like OEM. I think some real buttons for changing volume, selecting SAT/Radio/CD should have been there. Using Touchscreen while driving isnt a good idea. ( Assumption: Not every function can be selected using steering controls )

So please post your experience as days go by

May i ask, how much damage for the wallet?

Very nice look.... Would add that extra touch of class if you had the bezel painted gloss black to match your trim pieces!!
