Default You spent HOW much ???????

Well,

I started collecting and installing the pieces/parts for my stereo upgrade project. The $$$$$ are REALLY adding up !!

First off, I went with the Kenwood KVT 819DVD. EXPENSIVE, but kewl.







Next, I bought the Biketronics Retro Kit, and the 6 1/2" 'Rockin' Rings'





I bought the Boston Acoustic PRO60SE 6.5" COMPONENT SPEAKERS for the fairing. These babies should ROCK !!



I am going to power this baby with 2 of the Alpine PDX 4.150 amps. 600 watts each TIMES TWO !!



Waiting for the UPS man to deliver 2 sets of Pioneer TS-D902P 6x9 speakers tomorrow.

Still gotta order some Boston Acoustic 5 1/4's for the rear 'seat' speakers.

Then, with a little coaching, and some custom harnesses from GTS Designs, I should be ready to wake the neighbors.

Don't know how the ol' lady's gonna act if she finds out how much I REALLY spent for all these goodies.

In the next wek or so, I hope to have it all installed, and looking clean.

You guys have all been an inspiration, especially GTS and Onthelo !!

That does "look" cool but is a bit over the top for my taste. Will the vibration hurt the video components?

That's kinda what I figured too. Do it once, do it right, and never have to second-guess yourself. My Daddy always said: It only costs a little extra , to go first class.

In most cases, he was right.
