[QUOTE="52merc, post: 15913613, member: 197"] I've "tuned" a little more and I'm pretty happy with the results. The Pioneer AVIC-8200NEX is working very well. The touch screen is easy to use. It does reflect a lot of light if the sun shines directly on the screen, but I guess this would happen with any display. Although the bass is pretty good, I'm thinking of adding a sub. The bass just doesn't sound as good as my F150 (with premium sound which includes a sub). The Rockford Fosgate P2D2-10 is what I'm considering. I'll build a custom sealed box to fit into the right side of the trunk in the "recess" that is there. That way it shouldn't take up too much space and the rest of the system isd already in place. Just have to flip a switch, turn subwoofer on at the head, and tune. I can crank the head unit to full volume without hearing any distortion (part of R-F tuning procedure if the head unit can handle it) but I normally listed to it at about 1/3. There are still some things to adjust. The operations manual is huge and it will take me some time to read (and digest) it all. As I mentioned before, this was much more work than I originally anticipated, but was not over complicated. Designing and building the speaker adapter brackets is something that requires some fabrication skill (and tools) but was reasonably straight forward. Installing the wiring required gutting the interior and spending about as much time planning the routing as actually pulling wires. So far I would rate this upgrade as an 8.5 out of ten (just because I'm really a perfectionist with this type of stuff). [/QUOTE]
