My Oh My I hope I'm Happy. Tomorrow I am having My system installed. I'll be getting an Eclipse: (5605) indash 6 disc changer, tuner; (5962) indash 6 disc changer; (32430) 4 channel Amp 85w x 4 RMS; (8062) 6" drivers w/ 3/4" tweeters; (8393) 6 x 9 3-ways.

The salesman was very happy with me when I said I wanted both 6-disc changers in my dash. It was a little more expensive but I wanted the finger tip access to 12 discs.

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

You should be happy with hardware like that!
Post some pics of the final result.

Sweet, but how are you going to stuff all that in the dash?

OK, Will do

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

Well, both the tuner changer & changer are single din units. I was told it will "fit perfectly".

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

I wish I had money to do something like that!!!

Are you custom installing the 6" drivers in the cargo area, or will they be in a box?

Drivers go in the doors along with the tweeters in the factory openings. The 6x9's will fit in the factory openings in back.

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere on here before, but hopefully I can save someone some headaches if they're planning on putting new 6x9s in the back. If you aren't willing to cut up the body panels in the cargo area, your choices for 6x9s that fit are rather limited. Where they're mounted is a pretty shallow hole so a lot of speakers don't fit because they're too deep. On top of that, if the mid/tweeter pod sticks too far out the middle of the speaker, it will hit the integrated grill in the body panel. Using Crutchfield's fit guide should help, but they're not always correct. If you don't have a problem cutting up the body panel, you should have no problems. I ended up getting Polk DX6s for the front and DX9s for the rear. I haven't received them yet, but according to my measurements they should both fit with no problems. I'm sure there are others out there too.

I'm system is installed and I am very, very,VERY pleased!
They had no problems fitting anything in. Both units look great in the dash. The front and back speakers fit behind the factory grills just fine. I had them mount the amp in the ceiling of the cargo area so it would be out of the way and not get damaged.
At first they were not sure it could be done. But it turned out great. They were able to use the ceiling support bars or something for a solid mounting surface. The total job looks very clean and the sound is fantastic. I'll be taking pictures today and I'll post them ASAP.

Hey jen_neiffer, what kind of speakers did they put in? Just curious in case my Polks don't work out when they show up. Post some pics when you get a chance (not like you can take pics of the speakers) but it would be nice to see the rest. I'm amazed Eclipse managed to stuff a six disc changer in a single din receiver! I've been trying to find an in-dash changer too, but have only found a Blaupunkt. The Blaupunkt is only a five disc and it's just a changer--no receiver. Maybe I'll wait a while to get one and see how yours works out.

Dude, if you want to flame, learn to spell. It's PAID. And it's kind of lame to flame someone else's unit without revealing your own "thumper".

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

Jen, or anyone else... do you have a site to check out eclipse systems... the set up sounds real fine, and I've been looking for something similar. I've here of them, but can't seem to find any dealers north of the border...yet..

Jen If you could put a pick up of your amp along with the in-dash... that would be cooooollll!! MAHALOS
(TEABAG-- GET A LIFE DUDE, YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF THOSE DAM FORD ESCAPE VEHICLE OWNERS!!!

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

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion bu there is a proper way to do it.

I'm very partial to Eclipse. My best friend had an Eclipse head unit in his last car and it rocked. I was planning on putting the Eclips 6 disc in dash changer along with a 12 disc changer in my X, but I want to get an Alpine CVA 1005 with a dvd player instead.

As Aloha stated, pics (I assume that's what you meant Aloha) would be appreciated!

That amp in the ceiling idea sounds very cool. I don't know if I'll even be adding an amp, but I'd love to see pics of this.
