I have Kicker 5 1/4" components up front and Kicker 6 1/2" midbass drivers in the rear (components without the tweeters). I would have 6 1/2" all around but I got the 5 1/4" speakers for a great deal.

2 10" MA Audio subs in the trunk for the low frequencies, gain not turned up too high.

I like the sound I get from it, it seems like I hear every audible frequency of the music pretty clearly.

I think I have it upside down in that photo, because when I had it in before, there wasn't a gap. It needs a little rubber gasket around it, because the body is a little thinner than a stock switch.

Video with functioning.

I wired up loglights with my stock switch. Does anyone know how to wire it up so it makes the switch work at anytime the car is on?

I can tell you how to make the switch turn on the AUX lights as long as the headlight switch is on (whether it be parking lights, low beams, or high beams).

I hooked up the ones on my hatch to the fuse box. Use a test light and turn on the key

i actually cracked my windshield trying to get it off. i ended getting my windshield replaced and watched the guy do it and all you gotta do is basically slid the whole thing up. use a big screw driver and hammer. he just gave it a quick hard tap and it came right off. i was kinda pissed lol

I was able to use the OEM plugs for my JDM headlights they work just fine for me for the H4h bulbs but modded my H4 HID's snugged in tight. Corners I used my OEM too as well, they do fit you just gotta turn it good. City lights I tap them onto the power of the headlight harness which is the top area and wire the other to your parking so that way your city lights turn off when you use your headlights. Correct me if i'm wrong.

That won't work the way you said it will.

I'm not sure if this is the conventional way to make it work like that, but to make the city lights on when the headlights are off you could use an SPDT relay.

To do it that way, you would cut the low beam 12V wire on the headlight bulb harness (leave plenty of wire on each end). On the SPDT relay run relay pin 85 to the wire end on the main part of the harness, then pin 86 to the end that goes to the bulb harness. Then run pin 30 to the 12V wire for the parking light (constant with parking lights on). Then run pin 87a to the city light's 12V wire. Ground the city light's ground wire. Pin 87 on the relay will not be used.

You should then get power to the city lights when the headlights are off but the parking lights are on. Then when you turn the headlights on the city lights will turn off. The only downside is that the city lights would be on if you use the high beams.

Or that...I guess I did it the ghetto way then by following the Power wire from the headlight harness/plug whatever and wiring to my city light and the other to parking lights to the city light. I believe the city lights have 2 wires? and it still did the job. But i'd perfer going with your idea. I'm having trouble with my HIDs, one will just stay on and i have to keep on flickering it til the other turns on maybe its my power wiring on my plug or my ballast is goin down on me.

Use a flat head screw driver, there's actually a tiny slit for a flat head to fit into it.

a lil late to the question and probably not the answer you're looking for but thought i'd post that i'm running:

JDM Optional 6 Piece Gathers System w/ Tweeters:





I wanted to complete the set and use the headunit as well but went with function/practicality instead and got a new Sony MEX-BT300 Bluetooth stereo with iPod/USB input on the front.
