lets see em

seriously, if anyone is thinkin bout doing this, contact shig at heywire. they do some ubelievable fiberglass pods and systems.

Tomfish good choice on those Pioneer 6x9's they're my favorite to use in any situation. I put 4 of them in my old boat, and put 4 in my gramps trailer.

Can you run satalite through an amp directly, without the use of a head unit?

Not my Car, but Mark Auto sound in Irwindale, CA does some amazing stuff.

That's Clean

Thats what I come to Glamis to listen too. Leave the music at camp.

I really need a hook-up on this!

Peace love and punchdrunk...........your just jealous. how old are you anyway.....Turn up the Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirtroader let see some pics of your system...it rock really good.

yea, I was all set up for Sirius Satalite radio in my car. I never finished hooking it up. So now I'm claiming peace and serenity.

com'on guys where are thougs billet cones and links to suppliers,

I'm also wondering if you can hook-up xm straight to an amp?

anyone done this?

some nice set ups but if i want a smooth ride and music i just drive my truck
when i go riding i go to ride in the rough stuff aint that whats it for.

Traditionally there is an XM receiver and the head unit that has the display. Without the display you can't select the channel or know what's playing or adjust volume, balance, fade, treble, or bass.

Eventually there will be radios with receiver and head all in one. In fact they just released a portable battery powered XM radio that also includes time delay play (it's got some memory to store 5hrs of audio). Bottom line, for cars you have to have two units, and if you want big sound you'll need a big amp which makes 3 boxes.

Interesting to note that Terk makes an XM receiver that adapts to mulitiple brands of heads like Pioneer, Clairon, using different patch cables. The Terk is $100, and it's smaller than others. So if you have a Pioneer radio the better and cheaper unit today is from Terk.

There is a new alpine on the market that integrates xm making it much easier to install. If you are into IPod it works with it as well.

in the process puttin one in my new buggy .. much easier than previous models.

only problem with unit chukc is the cd player, i doubt it would last long in the dez.

Here is one of mine. Instead of satellite I used a 20 gig MP3 harddrive from OmniFi and a potientiometer inline for volume control like mentioned earlier.

I saw a few cars over Suspensions Unlimited that had XM Roadies connected directly to the amp. Super clean set up. I am sure you can call them and find out who did the install.

My buddies and I built the side panels with the speaker pods. I used an MP3 portable mp3 player hooked to a PPI amp. Worked great.

Another pic.

How and what did you make those pannels out of?

If you are talking to me...

I made them out of thin wood, foam, and vinyl.

I glued 1/8 inch foam to the whole panel, and then used 1/4 foam for the graphics. It was glued to the 1/8 inch foam. Then I streched and glued the vinyl to it. I left enought to rap around the bars and staple to the back side of the panels. I wish I had pics of the process, but I never took any.

Yes you can run xm unit in to an amplifier without a headunit. You will need a volume control and depending on the xm unit you choose a line driver to raise the output of the voltage from the xm unit. We have done a few rails like that in our shop works great. Head unit and sand is no win battle.

I need a shop do install some tunes in my buggy. Who's good in the San Gabriel Valley area?

did you move bohica?

Nope, still in Rowland Heights

yea the Alpine unit in my car has XM all in one, no other parts to buy. $289 on ebay.

Well we would be glad to help you do an install in your rail. We sadly are in Mission Viejo but you would not be the first or last to drive that far for us to work on a vehicle. Let me know if you have any questions..

Bohica, hit up shhpoon (shig) and he'll get ya set up. And if your lucky, I'll even head over and put some hours in too

I like thoughs billit speaker cones you mount on the bars

Anyone have pics?

or, links

you mean something like that?

Bohica you should talk to Shig, He has done some amazing sound systems for the buggies in our hooooker point group. Several of these buggies have over 90hours into the design and install. If you want your system to look like it was designed to be in your car and not added please take my advise and see Shig.

crnacnac's buggy system still impresses me, first time i heard it i thought it was some truck lifted to the moon with a bed full of subs, went on the other side of camp to see what it was and it was his buggy with just those 2 8's bumpin hard.

This site has lots of different ones. If you are going to go with something like that I would pick the smallest one you could get for weight reasons. Some of those units are big bulky and would be alot of stress on them in a buggy.

Ouch those speaker pods are expensive, I had wanted to put some on my boat by next summer, but I guess Ill go a different route.

Yes they are all very pricey. Infinity has some that aren't too bad and would be ok for a boat. But they would be very bulky for a rail.

For that kind of price we could do custom fiberglass pods that would look better and function better.

Here are some pics of cars that we have done in the past. What do u think? The system in these cars crank, especially the blue one. It has four 6" mids, four tweets, 2 6x9's, one 12" sub, and about 1000 watts. LOUD!!!

SWEET. Those are awesome

What does a system like that 1000 watt deal with all the speaker pods, etc. run?
