Hi all,

Just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself. I have had the Armada for around three months and although the original plan was not to mod it...I have had a few minor mods done to it already. I got it with NAV and the DVD/rear monitor, but the audio system wasn't too hot. I added two MB Quart Q series amps (QAA4250 and a QAA1000) that run two sets of QSD216's and a single Lightning Audio Storm 12" sub that is installed in the rear side panel. One of my friends did the install, and while he was in there, mod'd the Nav screen to work with the DVD...Then I had a set of MB Motoring 22" put on it, but they were just too bling for me, so I had another friend paint the centers with a black pearl. He also did all of the logos the same way.

There are a few pics below, let me know what you think.

Oh, I probably should let you know that my other car is a 2004 G35 coupe with twin turbos... :D

Very nice Armada. I like the painted rims.

How much did it run to paint the rims, I like it.

The sub and amp rack is clean. Is the sub all custom or a stealthbox ? The grille for the sub is bad ***. How much did it run for that. ( Sorry about all the questions on price, just want to ge a ball park idea of what I should spend.)

Very nice look. I like how the black plays against the silver. The install on the sub and amps looks top notch.

Nice wheels. I noticed you are from N Cal (assume Northern California). You got any connections for the wheels?

ADJMCLOON, the sub kicks ***! I love it. Had a quart premium woofer in there at first and wasn't too impressed. This is definitely better. I agree with you, the installer(Jason Digos) did a great job!

OCKEVIN, Thanks! A friend painted the wheels and badges. Im not sure what he would charge. $100 a wheel? The sub enclosure is custom built for the car and allows the power rear door mechanism proper clearance.

Thanks SHAFT2K!

Dr Cookie, check your pm's.

The 05 and 06 tech package comes with the rear camera. It's easy to mount on in the same place using bullet camera, you just need to get video switcher like what avelectronic.com sells to get the video to automatically pop up when you put it in reverse.
