Boomin Boy, that HU is great. Built MUCH better then the previous versions. They started using a MUCH harder plastic for all the gears, that was the big problem with the others. Good buy man.

I know this man.

I meant, take the AC, and put it on the bottom, then mount the WHOLE THING in the top spot.

Looks real nice... I never cared for dvd players in cars... until I saw your pic! If I get one I could watch Dumb and Dumber anywhere!! I like it.

How much do those run?

Kick his ***, C-Bass!!

after tax and everything it came to $2200 CDN installed, but i declined the install cause i would rather have the pride of doing the whole setup myself.

its probably not the greatest price in the world, but it was more of an impulse buy to tell ya the truth.

ernest goes to camp, lol...yeah another classic.....does it drain the battery faster than a normal cd player would, or can you watch it w/ the car off and just crank the car up every now and then to recharge the battery?

do you have a seperate battery?

and arnt you supposed to camp in a tent or under the stars, how in the hell do you get a camaro into the middle of the woods

ohh, and if you don't have a 2nd battery, make sure to invest in one of those nifty jumpstart thingys, they roxxor.

nope i only have one battery right now...a nautilus marine battery i think its something like 800cca but its always fully charged by my alt. I cant get it below 14.6 volts.

i got the camaro pretty deep into the woods actually, just had to wash it when i got home..no new scratches or anything. Well probably some on the nose piece but thats to be expected.
