Kenwood Double Din 7240BT Install

(1/4) > >>

Gti Jal:
Hi Guys,

I have bought a Kenwood Double Din 7240BT, I'm in the process of getting all the stuff to fit the unit. I am also going to fit a Blaupunkt 5 channel amp and Blaupunkt 6.5" components front and rear.

Any advice, do I need asub?

Alexander:
depends on personal preference, Id see how it sounds with the components amped up and then consider a sub if your not happy.
Are you up to speed with regards to fitting?

Gti Jal:
Alexander,

I've looked up all the how to take it apart articles on the Tinterweb and am praying! Need to buy a trim tool, I have the other tools.

Its amazing how much you need, apart from the unit, amplifier and 2 sets of component speakers, I have picked up:

Double din fitting kit inc cage, brackets etc..
Aerial adapter
Wiring adapter
2 x RCA 3m
Amp wiring kit
Front speaker adapters

.... I priced this lot up at Halfords and nearly had a fit, £130 for accessories (am I being tight). Ebay was £70.

Poverty:
how much power is the amp kicking out?

Caraudiodirect.com is the daddy for cheap audio and accerssories.

Gti Jal:
I'm sorted with the bits now, but thanks for the tip. The amp specs are

Max power 4 x 100 + 1 x 220 Watt
RMS power 4 x 50 + 1 x 110 Watt
Input sensitivity 0.3-5V
High-pass filter 60 - 240 Hz (channel 1-4)
Low-pass filter 60 - 240 Hz (channel 1-4)
30 - 120 Hz (channel 5)
Dimensions 500 x 54 x 256


Here is what the beasty looks like, its huge.
