    Default I-pod in my Vectra

    Haha,... finally got it build in.... I have my I-pod connected to my standard VDO CDR 2005 radio. Not only that, I iproved the sound quality at least ten times!! How...??

    By Installing This:

    The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty Digital Processor.....



    It has an AUX in and it reads and improves the factory build in radio at 150 different points. Every line and setting is adjustable using a Palmtop or laptop with bluetooth.



    This is place I choose to install the SP. Easy to reach, but still out of sight.



    The cables routed into the glove compartment.



    And connected to the SP....



    A lot of wire to route through my car,.... but damn it's worth it!!!



    The result inside. I modified the cup-holder so it contains the Ipod now. And just one remote switch and volume knob visible inside.



    And a 700 Watt's sub in the trunk to convert the signals from the SP to actual sound. 4-channel AMmp, every speaker has it's own line. Already installed all the cables and power wires for a Amp for the Sub.

    It's sound a lot better now!! Not perfect but the speakers will be changed. A sub will be added and some wiring has to be changed. But I'll keep this up to date.

    There is more to come....
    The plan is to:

    - Change the Standard vectra speakers for a Rockford composet.
    I'm not sure which one.... the T152S set,.... or the T162S set.
    What do you guys think fits in best in a vectra??
    The 152S is 5.25"
    The 162S is 6.50"



    - Install 1 Rockford Fosgate T1 sub
    - 1 monoblock amo. for the sub.
    - a 1 Fahrad capacitor

    - Hopefully a Pioneer AVIC-D3 dubbel-din headunit.
    Has anyone installed this one??

    Any changes will be posted with pics!

    Hello.
    First and foremost forgiveness for my English, I want to know if the digital procesdor installation leads to food, and you have more or less an outline of installation because I want to buy one and if it is not very complicated to install it wanted

    The 162s are the best coz thats the size of the standard speakers at the front.
    Nice install by the way just be careful of heat issues for the amp as it is upside down, you might get the thermal cutout triggering during prelonged use! Rockford Fosgate kit is good stuff! I believe Audio Control do a similar unit too.
