I have a Kenwood KDC-X869 with Sirius. I love it and rarely listen to anything other than Sirius or my iPod. I looked at both Sirius and XM and I think Sirius is a much better system, from a technical perspective and a variety standpoint too.

Ditto. I have a Memphis 202 powering a 12" MTK and it sounds great, plenty of thump for my XRS. I paid $160 for the amp, which is 200W. All told, I spent a total of $430 for my amp, the sub, box and installation. It was well worth it.

Gosh I hope I have it longer than that! Actaully, my son will be able to get his driver's license in about 3 1/2 years so I'll probably give it to him at that time and buy me something cool like a tricycle

Yeah, and there's 4 days left on that auction. If you look at the one almost done the price has gone up to 350 and will likely go higher. There is also one with a buy it now feature for 450. In any case, I don't shop based upon lowest price. I would much rather have a reputable dealer behind me wher...

The HU was $460 and the Sirius antenna was $65. I paid about $100 for labor to have it all installed. The guys at Independence Audio Visual were top notch. A plus was that since the unit was installed by them, an authorized dealer, I got a 3 year warranty on the gear and a lifetime warranty on the i...

Couldn't figure out how to post them inline so here they come as attachments.. Sorry.

Just thought I'd share some pictures of the headunit I have in my Matrix... There are three pictures, all fairly dark because I wanted to show how I thought the red of the controls really complemented the interior lights of the car. It is a Kenwood KDC-X869 with an activated Sirius account. I think ...

A better solution would be to dump MS server operating systems and use something better. Never had a virus, never had a system crash due to any one of the all too common Microsoft flaws, and never will. Boy do I feel for you people that have to work with that crap.

I'm thinking of the Nakamichi 6-Disc in-dash changer and want to make sure it will fit. I'm pretty sure there is at least 6-3/4 of clearance but this unit is 6-15/16 deep. So, anybody know how much clearance there is in the Matrix/Vibe for a head unit?BTW, I'm doing this because I love having 6 disc...

Yep, Maryland Heights, that's what I meant! Sorry.

I'm going to be in St. Louis on Monday (coming in from KC) for a job interview around 3pm... at 127 Weldon Parkway (near Maryville Heights) ... I could take some for you and then burn you a CD on the spot... if it would help.I'll be driving a Cosmic Blue Matrix XRS.

Good to know it went well and more importantly, sounds good!I'm looking at replacing mine with either the Panasonic CQ-HR1083U or the Kenwood (forget the model) because they both have RCA inputs for my iPod and the display color is configurable so I can get it to match the red of the rest of the int...

Nope, you aren't the only one... I just wish the axe would fall. I've had absolutely NOTHING to do for over a month and it's getting old.

I have a giant boulder, nothing fancy. I spend most of my time on trails like the little blue trace. My wife and I are planing to ride the Katy this fall so we're trying to ride 20 or so a day at least 4 times a week. I figure if I get laid off from Sprint (likely) then that will give me something t...

Well, I guess John is off the hook as the new guy...I live in Independence and traded my 2001 Mustang convertible in on a 2004 Matrix XRS last Saturday. I just got back from a road trip to eastern Iowa for my 15 year class reunion and I've got to say that the Matrix XRS is an awesome ride. I'm sure ...

Where is a good place to get windows tinted in the Kansas City area?
