I just put the Alpine iDA-X001 iPod head unit in my 2002 Monte Carlo SS. I had Car Concepts in SLC, UT intergrate the steering wheel controls (I can control the iPod, skip songs, volume, mute, mode, band). I also had them intergrate On-Star (works like factory, mutes the stereo during your onstar request and then turns itback on once you are done, it actually pauses the iPod and picks up where you left off). And I had them put in another module so that my door chimes and other warning chimes still worked. I love it. Next month I'm going to replace the stock speakers with Alpine Type R's. 6 1/2 in the door and 6x9's in the rear deck, although the stock speakers sound great with the new Alpine head unit.

 

what's going in this weekend hopefully.

Head unit - Clarion DXZ375MP

speakers - jl audio XR653 component set (6.5 low, 4 inch mid and 2 in tweeter)

6x9s jl audio tr690-txi speakers

sub - 10 inch w7 in a ported box.

500x1 amp

300x4 amp

**** load of dynamat and a dual amp tsunami wire kit with capacitor


only thing stopping me is that i havent grown the sack to cut my doors to add the 4 inch speaker and tweeter.
