I was browsing around looking for a nice aftermarket stereo for my new XE when I came across this at one of the local stereo shops: http://www.classicstereo.com/mobile_car9.htm

Thought it might interest some stereo freaks in here

I like the equipment, but the use of space is bad. With all that money spent, they could/should have designed a better layout. I have the nav system in my X, but did not think the hardware would fit under the drivers seat. I guess this gives me another reason to look under there.

Thanks for the link.

I'll never understand the thinking behind taking up all useable space for stereo equipment. I mean, come on, anybody can fill an Xterra with stereo equipment, but the good installers hide it all away. And the Riceboy pedals...ugh!!!

Overkill? My question is why 3 18" subs? Wouldn't One, powered correctly, shatter every window in that truck?

I'll take the two screens in the headrests and the Playstation idea...anyone know how much that would cost?

Did anyone else notice that this guy moved the climate controls down and placed a single din screen in place of it???? AWESOME!!!!!! I want a playstation2 in my X!!!!

Yeah I was just going to say that guy moved his AC control buttons where the radio is usualy placed. Whats up with that??

I seen those 4" LCD screens (no tuner, but with RCA inputs) on eBay for like $89 brand new. Just hook up a VCR or DVD and you are all set I guess. PS2 is cool.

"Screw milk, got Xterra?"

I actually noticed the placement of the air controls, but it looked so natural I thought perhaps that's how they were placed in whatever year/model Classic Stereo was using.

And how can anyone say it was a waste of space? I, for one, look forward to the day I pull up next to the Xterreo at a light and can hear the wild bass rumblings of Chicken Run

------------------

There have only been 2 years of Xterras, and the interiors are virtually identical.

The A/C swap took some work! I've been back there, there are several cables that I can't imagine would work properly unless the length was adjusted to keep the same amount of slack in them.

What's wrong with the pedals (except for the choice of colors)?

I think it is great! This person may compete in car audio, attend car shows, or just want something different. I have competed in car audio for a while. I will post my pictures after my first competition with my new system. This is a hobby, just like off-roading or anything else, it's a lot of fun.

------------------

Out of curiosity, I called about the X, because I am always looking for new ideas. This is strictly a show car used by this audio shop as advertisement, that is why it is a little overdone to show the different services their shop provides.

------------------

that car has everything except leather seats.

LoL. that is kinda funny when you put that much money into a car but it doesnt have one of the basic ammenities.

Well, the yellow is ugly and annoying on the pedals and they are cheap clip ons. I have nothing against pedal replacements (I have them myself), but atleast get some real ones that use good bolts, are sturdy, and have something to grip! Just gotta keep it simple and high quality.

In addition to the missing 'leather seats',
I'd recommend a few hot lookin' chicks in
place of the mountain view... I mean, you
can get a different 'mountain view' with
hot lookin' babes! Eye candy all around!!!

I agree...

I have seen tv/dvd screens put in visors also...

those are very expensive.

i wonder how much adding those screens cost

If I had that much money to fork out I'd spend it on something less loud!

One more thing that I just noticed...the X has Grey Face Gauges...I've never seen those...are they actually grey or just black with a weird reflection in the pic??? If they are actually grey, where can they be found????

I think in a truck like this going beyond normal is the point.

------------------

Let's get back to the details on the video headrests and play station/N64 console ...

That's just what the doctor ordered!

You are able to install those screens into almost any head rest. They are thin and as a stand alone item, not very expensive. The real cost is the installation. The custom work required and the hidden cost of doing this will end up costing you more then it's worth.

If you are serious about getting these screens and/or video games or vcr, then look for those centre console or overhead console units. They are fairly simple to install and cost is a fraction of the custom set-up.

I can stop by the stereo shop sometime and try to take some more pictures/ask them any questions people may have about the price/labor/etc. of anything in the truck.

Let me know if there's anything people want clarified, I'm sure the shop would be happy to get some more exposure

Just so its understood, this is a very reputable shop here in west Michigan. It might seem ghetto from these posts, but around here its pretty much a given that if you want quality components and excellent craftsmanship this is the first place you'd go (and no, I don't work there).

I want a tv in my X! That would be sooo sweet!

------------------
'00 YELLOW X 4x4

you ought to check out the kenwood KVT-910dvd,it's got a dvd/cd/tv tuner plus monitor all in one din sized chassis.

------------------

Got my 300W tripp inverter. I'll probably just get the steelhorse totebag that fits a 9" tv/vcr combo between the front seats and hook up the N64 up for roadtrips. 54 bucks for the inverter, 53 bucks for the bag and 189 for the tv/vcr ...DONE!!

A video screen mounting where the dome light is would be sweet, but probably too expensive.

That kenwood KVT-910dvd is sweet!
Also has video and audio outs for those headrest mounted displays!!

Is this one of those "city boys" trucks? Cause if it is all you need to do now is lower it 6" that would be sweet, then extend the wheels 9" that would be wicked, then get a color shifting paint job that would be pimpin', then those "city boys" could sit in the k-mart parking lot playing the playstation waiting for their girlfriends to get done working. Oh yea, don't forget the fuzzy dice those are really rad.
Gee I wish I had room in the back of my truck for 3 subwolfers, but its full with backpacks, water, food, crowbars, guns and hiking boots.

------------------

It's actually a show truck, not a "city boy" truck, whatever that means. As I said before, the shop that installed the stereo isn't "ghetto". They sell top-of-the-line home and car stereo equipment, and this is just one of their projects. Would you rather buy a stereo from a shop that takes their trucks to Moab or a shop that can consistently win stereo competitions? Yeah, it's overboard, but are most of the project trucks for offroad companies...

Anyway, I stopped by the shop a few days ago and spoke with one of the salesmen...The truck is actually for sale for $29,999, and it's currently being driven by the owner of the store.

Hey there's nothin' wrong with keeping my 8 year old occupied while we're waiting our turn on the trails. Anyone campin' with kids knows what I'm talkin about!!

that is an awesome set up, I bet that could make the people down the street wet the bed

he needs the Xterra roof rack to hold the replacement glass, his spare tire (it's not underneath), his eardrums, and his passengers.

Other than that, I think it's a finely crafted setup. not that that is my bag baby.

I especially like the amp rack. If anything, they're inventive.
