well If you have been reading my posts i was having a lil trouble getting my truck done, but I woke up early and got it done. I took out the B.S wiring harness GMOS-4. I used a different harness, then rewired/bypassed my bose amp. Made a custom bezel with black suade wrap around the D3 below. I put the new Pioneer componant door speakers and tweets in the front with a 4 channel Pioneer amp. I got the new Kicker 6.5 door subwoofers in with kicker tweeters in the back doors connected to a kicker 2 channel amp. My truck is loud , clear and great bass!!! Here are some pics. I am gonna do the leather trim on my door panels, sunvisors, and headliner done in matching black suade this week. Then I will get my seats inserts done in suade by someone else. Let me know what you think of the pics of my truck so far.

Here is my SC400 with a D3X installed

Here is my Pioneer 6 disc cd changer in the glovebox

The changer fits perfectly in the glovebox, like it was meant to be there

My Cadillac Escalade with 21K miles and my Lexus SC400 with 49K miles

Just curious, why do you need both D3 and Z?

thats some serious BLING yo

easy answer. i can watch dvd/ipod video and have map at the same time. I can have two videos at once. I can have two maps at once. I love it its a great look. I have two ipods hooked up. One on each unit. Also in the top pic u will see in the escalades the radio (Z) faces the driver more. The bottom bezel with the D3 faces the passenger more.

which one is hooked to the speakers in the car? How did you run the audio off the D3 (do you have to put the Z2 on av?)

The Z is the main unit with the D3 ran into AV1. i can control the speakers with either unit when using the D3 ipod vido/music, which is a part of why i wanted both

Dude - You are the King Of Overkill!! I mean that in a good way. If it can be done - DO IT!!!

I buy stuff with way more thngs than I will usually use, but it's nice to know that if I want it, I've got it right here. My friends are always amazed.

But you're the King......

P.S. What are your plans when the new F Series comes out?

Here is the pics of the amps under the seats with Digital Distribution Blocks, a Digital 25 Farad Hybrid Compassitor, (2) Pioneer Componant Crossovers, Pioneer 600 Watt 4 Channel Amp, and a Kicker 2 Channel Amp. I am fiberglassing a bracket/Bezel that will go across the bottom of seats, and will be painted black or maybe use suade. You will not see any wires, all you will see is the 2 amps, dist. block, hybrid cap, crossovers, and 2 t.v's with there own dvd player, all mounted in the cut outs of the bracket. I may do a plexi glass center with mirror bottom with neons. It is gonna be very nice. I will post pics of it when I am done.

I also moved the traction contol and park assist buttons to the ashtray and made a frame to put the factory clock on the dash.

As you can see in the pics of the amps and other components I left plenty of wire tied up so it will have free space to be raised and moved to the bracket in positions I want them to rest in when finalizing the project.

If anybody has any cool ideas or suggestions let me know. I want to make this a cool looking area in the back.

Just picture a rectangle black frame from end to end, with these componants tops only being seen. they will only stick up out of the frame maybe 1/2 inch. I dont know yet. I will test a few different looks before I secure all parts. I think it will look great!

Anybody need a set of 23" rims and tires (pictured above). The truck and wheels are dirty in the pic, (it just got done raining). Rims and Tires are only a little over a month old. I paid $3200 for them I just ordered a set of 26" wheels and tires. I will sell my wheels for $1400. The center caps are not pictured because I sent them out to get painted black. I can paint them any factory color of the truck for whoever buys them. PM me for info.

Here is a pic of the amprack/bezel/frame that I started making. I measured all the componants and made paper cut outs that are the exact size of each piece. I will cut each part of the frame out. then I will make the 4 sides and screw them on. Next goes on the fiberglass. Primer then paint it black. There will be neons underneth that will glow through a etched piece of plexi glass. I still need to figure out where I can make room for that. I hope to get completed by tuesday night.

Anyone have any ideas i wnat to do someting super creative.

I think I am going to customize my passenger side airbag. I will remove it and make a bezel to mount my Z into it. I am going to buy the top of the line F seies unit and place in my dash where the Z is now and have 3 Pioneer navigation units in the front of my truck. I will use the F as my main/master radio and have my Z and D3 used as inputs/AV1/AV2. I also have a digital video switcher unit that has cool controls that get built into whatever you want made by Accellevision. It has 4 inputs and 2 outputs. I will buy (4) 1/2 din DVD players w/ USB & SD card Slots, and hook them up to the switcher outputted into my D3's AV input and have a total of 7 dvd players in my truck. I can turn all the dvd players on and switch to a combo of 7 different DVD's. I will hook up my headrest monitors with wireless headsets so that any rear passenger can watch/listen to any movie of thier choice out of the 4 DVD players hooked up to the vid switcher.

If I wanted to go insane I could hook up 8 more DVD players into the 4 dvd players linked to the switcher using the AV1 and AV2 inputs. That would be a total of 15 DVD players. It would be better than sattelite. I could have a dvd from every cattegory, sports, action, comedy and even PORNO!!!!! Gotta love a creative mind. could be dangerous.

15 total dvd players, with, how many screens??

I've seen some stupid $hit in my life and yours is up there. lol

ya, kinda gotta agree. a kickin stereo system is one thing, but a kickin system, a z, a d3, and multiple dvd players, plus screens?? to each is his own, but thats jus too much attention for your own good man

I've seen some stupid $hit in my life and yours is up there. lol

Well what do you expect. He drives an Escalade. I wouldn't be any more surprised if he drove a Hummer.

Make sure you take pics. of all your equipment and keep all receipts for your insurance just in case they get you.Also make sure you have replacement cost for your equipment.I'm not trying to be funny,you have too much time and money involved to lose it all in one night and then find out you're not covered.

cmon now, no stereotypes, my aunt drives an escalade and theres no 26's on there or 15 dvd players (1 tho ) or 2 avics lol

Yeah well I drive a hummer but I can tell you it doesn't have 15 dvd players either. It doesn't even have speakers! But it DOES have a big ass automatic grenade launcher.

haha no way! i got homing missles under the 8 with headlight turrets!! all on 18's

Im only doing 7 dvd players. I said if i was insane I COULD hook up a total of 15 dvd players. I just want to do something different. I see the same old sh*t everyday. I love being able to have a movie up and a nav screen at the same time. Or I can have a movie with camera on, or nav with camera.

I was also thinking of putting 2 cameras : Front, back, and 2 dvd players hooked up to the 4 way A/V switcher. I will start construction when I get the F.

As for any stereo type B.S I am 31 year old regular guy who is into electronics. I got a esclade so I can keep my tools in the truck and still have a luxury vehicle with the bells and whistles.

People say WHY? I say WHY NOT?

I encourage anybody who has the funds to do it, go with it. You only live once, besides if your the one paying the car/truck payments on it, then why cant you have whatever you imagine into it no matter how ridicioulis it may seem to others. If it wasnt for inginuity, we still would be driving boxxy old style vehicles (like a Chevette, or Pinto) and not being able to talk to your headunit and command functions, and still using map books instead of navigation.

For those that dont like it, you have your opinion, and I respect it, but in the end Im the one paying for the stuff thats in my truck.

Is your Escalade a 2002 or 2003? I have a 02 and I want to install the F90bt, can you give me some advice

jus be careful. you dont want the wrong person finding out about what u have. alotta my friends have lost $2k to $6k systems because they were brought too much attention on themselves

My truck is secured in my garage.

For your escalade just cut out the plastic behind the factory radio and get the double din kit. 99-2003. I personally dont like the bose. I rewired my whole system and put componant speakers. Its wayyyyyy louder and clearer. Any thing else let me know.

I heard that those double din kits are good for 2003 and up escalades, since mines is a 2002, will it still work for me?

it might not. the kits for the 03-04 g35 wont work on the 05-06 and the interiors pretty much the same
