I just purchased a new 05 Magnum, I'm just about done with the alarm. My next task will be the audio system, I will have about 2,500 to spend thanks to uncle sam. I'm not really sure what componets to buy. I do know that I want everything to be the same brand Sony, Kenwood or even Pioneer. I want a touch screen display with all the bells and whistles including Navigation, If there is such a thing. I dont know much about who is better all I do is Install them. Anybody have any suggestions? I heard that Pioneer has a double din out for 2006 that suppose to be pretty good, what do y'all think? I've allways been a Sony guy, but I want what's best for my money if It cost me more I'll spend more for quality. Here's what I plan on installing, Head Unit, dash-doors-quarter speakers, TV's in head rests ( 2 ), crossover's, 3 amps and 2 sub-woofers. It does'nt have to be loud just sound good with a little bass. Also does anybody have the wiring diagram for the head unit, I purchased a quick connect from bestbuy and some of the wires don't match. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

If you want quality then 2500 may get you the head unit and nav but not much more. Get the Metra harness adaptor, you'll need to catch your ignition power directly at the ignition switch, think it is pink/white. JL Audio just came out with a Stealth box for the Magnum. Spend more on your front component system more so than the rears, get some cheaper coax's for the rear(6x9's) and be sure to mount the tweeters in the dash where the factory one's are or should be and hush mat the front doors for sure,,,I just did an Alpine/JL audio system in one for a up and coming rapper and he did two back flips over the system,,,I didn't use the Stealth box but hid 2 12's in the rear compartments,,,

I actually have about 6,000 to spend, It's just that my girlfriend was sitting next to me when I made the post. ( I'm sure you know how that goes ) What head unit do you suggest I use? Since the SXT Magnums don't come with speakers in the back doors, I was thinking about putting a componet set there, same goes for the front, I heard that JBL and MB Quartz have good sets, What do you think? Thanks for your inputs.

I'll post some up of the one I'm doing when its done, I got some pics of the strut grill but I finished tidying everything up on it about 30 seconds before he got there to pick it up! I don't think I'm going with the w6's on this one, its an 06 and they have some air bag modules behind the compartments, not as much room for that deep of a sub,,,

Ctoh, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out, Thanks. Here's what I was looking at purchasing today, I have a friend who owns an audio store ( Xstream Sound ) and he is going to give me everything at cost. He is an Alpine dealer ( he does have just about any manufacture I want, but he stocks more Alpine than anything ) He's giving me a sweet deal on a complete Alpine system ( no navi and no sub box ) I'm going to see if I can fabricate the JL Audio stealth box to fit a 12" instead of a 10" . I'm also going to make one for the right side, I just have to find some where to put the amps (visible). Here's the system tell me what you think....

Head Unit Alpine IVA-D310

6/Cd Changer Alpine CHA-S634

Dash speakers Alpine SPS-100A 4" 2 way ( I have to do some cutting )

Front doors Alpine Type-R SPR-1725 6 3/4" 2way components ( minor cutting needed )

Back doors Alpine Type-R SPR-1725 6 3/4" 2way components ( minor cutting needed )

Rear panels None

Sub-Woofers Alpine Type-R SWR-1242D dual 4ohm ( Qty 2 )

Speaker Amp Alpine MRV-F345 75 x 4

Sub Amp Alpine MRD-M1005 700 x 1

He's also going to throw in some dynamat for the doors, and also a Lighting Audio LSD10DT-03 Strike 1-Farad cap with distribution block, and all the wiring for the amps and speakers, for 3,500 bucks. What do you think ,Good deal or No deal. I've heard that some people have had some problems with Alpine, is that true? What's your judgement. Oh yeah; All this stuff is new, not refurbished

Anybody with suggestions feel free to post your advice, I need all the help I can get.

The W6's are behind the dark fabric covered panels in the rear of the vehicle, the amps are under the removeable trunk floor so no cargo space is lost,,,

I think if i was going to go with an alpine system, i'd go with type x components & subs, appropriate amps. i'd also look into getting a deck with navigation, and only run 1 set of speakers as well. I'd also put more money in to the sound dampening, as in doing the entire car.
