Entertainment System

Backup camera, US 4065 4x65 watt amp for front, JL 250/1 bass amp. JL Stealth center console 10" down firing woofer, Infinity Reference 6822CF in rear doors and rear panel, Infinity Kappa 60.7CS in front door (all 3 pairs with foam baffles), 50.7CS in Q-form pods. 4G battery feed with distribution block. Second Skin sound dampening in doors and rear panels. Alpine IVA-W205 Head Unit, Alpine Bluetooth KCE-300BT, TR-7 Video Bypass, PAC SWI-JACK Steering Wheel Interface, Alpine KCE-422i Full Speed iPod Interface. Finished up the audio balancing and installed windshield fired tweeters to finally lift the sound stage over the hood with a better overall balance. The backup camera license frame didn't last two weeks. The screws are rusting and the camera sucked up water. Replaced with a waterproof professional grade security camera and mounted through a 1" hole in the license plate.
