Models with separate HVAC and Head Unit?

nah i explained it to him and he tried to tell me that it wont work with the mac installed cos its apparently different......then after i started asking questions about upgrading my sound system to something on the affordable / quality compromise he quoted me $6 worth of bolk audio kit (2 front speakers worth $550), 2 amps, 2 rears .....and get this asked if i liked lots of bass to which i replied i like the bass to fill in with the music not be heard 5km down chapel st....so his recommendation was 2x 12inch for the boot

Sounds like a dipshit.

My whole setup involved the Eclipse AVN726EA headunit, a facia plate, 5-channel Alpine PDX-5 amp under the seat to replace the Mcintosh - all up was about $2K.

yeah spoke to phat and got quoted a good price.
but went to a car audio joint in morrabbin and they reckon the double din surround wont fit the ac installed cars?!

Dude - look at my car - I have the exact same headunit as you did, and I have changed it.

Pictures speak louder than words.

Hey Guys this is what Clarence used ,as I' am going to change my head unit one day Got this from japanparts

did you just use the top section or do you have to replace the heater control unit as well?

how much of an improvement did you notice over stock with the new head unit and amp?

You don't have to use the new HVAC. I used it because it's got less scratches.

And I didn't upgrade for audio quality; I changed the HU for the integrated satnav and iPod controls. In terms of audio, I'd say the Mcintosh sounds more full - the Eclipse just sounds more hollow...

Stark contrast to my upgrading from the Kenwood to Alpine. The Kenwood sounded like a 1950s ham radio by comparison
