solder more wire onto it to make it as long as you need. How many wires did you cut?

It the kenwood DDX418. It was about $100 cheaper on amazon than crutchfield.Is that plug and play pretty much? What model is it? It's about time for my stock unit to go bye-bye
A few questions. When you select something on the screen does the iPod symbol flash and spin radically? Do the animations lag? How is the startup time ( I hate when systems go through 76 pages of warnings and "KENWOOD NAVIGATION TOUCH SCREEN XM IPOD SIRIUS CONNECTIVITY BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TOUCHSCREEN"? I the screen responsive, 1st simple touch, not 3 finger smashing pushes? Can you dim the screen at night so it doesn't look like your filming a TV series inside?It the kenwood DDX418. It was about $100 cheaper on amazon than crutchfield.

The factory amp sounds good with the infiniti speakers I installed. I have the rear camera hooked up and will finish mounting it this weekend.
Here's my thread where I tried to install a cheap rotating screen version and eventually bought a nice namebrand unit like I should have done from the beginning. I use my phone in a window mount for navigation, so the unit itself was only about $300

The system will actually sound better if you disco/remove the stock sub

I replaced the two factory subs and they sound fine.
Yes it does distort easily... The 4" drivers are easily overwhelmed. Even running stock with no aftermarket sub it will sound better as the 6.5" door speakers make better bass. Try unplugging the factory sub it's easy to do.

I guess this is why i have seen the factory speaker trimmed out alot here on the forum and the case is reused to mount up the mb quart speakers which have the seperate tweet. These seem to be one of the most popular speakers for the folks here.
