i want to put a radio in my xtx. i will use a car stereo and mount speakers on the back of the overhead gage. i want to mount the stereo under the dash and have seen a box that is made to take a din radio and has a water / dust cover flip up. it is made to go in the prowler, and i Had it bookmarked but lost it, does anyone know where i could find a box like that. also if you have suggestions for how to mount the stereo or speakers please let me know. thanks all.

Hey Slumbert,try ebay or crutchfield.The flip up cover is just a marine cover.And the din box you are talking about is just a abs plastic box for mounting a stereo in if i am on the same page.As far as mounting speakers there are a few people making pods for the prowler now.They even have them that will clear the parking brake.
Me i make them myself.Not hard to do.About 30-40 dollars.If you are interested in making your own let me know and i can steer you in the right direction.

what about if you could put a sterio in the glove box? just a thought.... wondering if anyone has tried it.

i though about that or in the cubby thing in the dash, but don't want to cut up the dash.

Hunterworks in Collinsville , Missisippi has a waterproof box. I had one on my 06 prowler and it worked real nice . As far as speakers. I mounted 5inch round speakers in 5 inch light cans. They fit perfect.

We have front and rear pods available that bolt in. They are made of fiberglass and you can put in 6.5 speakers. Have you thought about just running a amp and maybe using just a ipod?

i looked at amps online and my question is with sat radio and a amp how do i control the volume

 

[sandchris]

Can you post a pic. of the sat. reciever you are using?
Are you gonna run it thru the fm tuner on a deck or cd player?

Check out SSVWORKS they make some good stuff and just came out with some nice products for the Prowlers.

i was messing around with the sat recever and found it does have a volume on it, so i could use a amp. at checker they have a 600 watt 2,3, or 4 channel it's 99$ question : will that amp work and it has a remote wire that would come from a stereo. does it just need 12v, could run from a switch. the sat radio sets on a dock just like a ipod.

 

[sandchris]

Yep you could turn the amp on with a switch.The question is what size fuse does the amp have.Usually a pretty good rule of thumb on how much power the amp really makes.600 watts is about 50-60 amps in real life.There is nobody holding them accountable for there ratings.

I own a car stereo business and use a piece made by Metra for mounting radios under the dash of cars or trucks. It is also good for the Prowler. Go to Metraonline.com and look for the universal under dash kit 99-9000 also the cover you are talking about is also available by them part # 99-9005B. You can purchase these parts by any car stereo shop that sells metra dash kits. Hope this helps.

i found 200w amps on line for as little as 40$ it is 2 channel and has soft turn on witch is what i would like, then i could turn it off a times instead of turning it down. i am wondering how many watts i need i want it to sound good but will have speakers right behind our heads and I'm a old guy, but have said for many years { if it is too loud your too old} lol

[slumbert55]

have decided to go with a amp and sat dock, now i need to figure out what to use to mount speakers in on the back bar, do i need marine speakers, and what watt for a 200w amp or how many watt speaker for what watt amp.

 

[sandchris]

Here are some photos of some pods i did for my cousins rhino.He used cheap paint and it has cracked but the pods are coated in resin so they are still water proof.Slumbert where do you want to mount the speakers?I need to know so i can suggest a few things.

 

[slumbert55]

i bought some marine speakers in boxes 400w i will mount on the back bar towards the top. i also bought a amp it is 240w 2 channel and is also marine. i stopped a carz n toyz in havasu and a guy in there gave me a remote and 12v power supply for my sat radio, so as soon as the stuff gets here and a little wire and i'll have a sound system, i hope

my amp came ups today, got it all hooked up and when i turn on the amp there is a hum, it is before the sat radio comes on so it is in the amp. ii believe it is all hooked up alright, do i need a filter or noise reducer it happens with or with out the motor running.

Sounds like the gain is up to far.
