I had bought a DVD capable head unit about a year ago for the T2, but never installed it... I put it into the 'vert today, and burned my first MP3 formatted DVD for it.

I've got 69 FULL LENGTH CDs on one DVD. How fucking cool is that? I don't even know where to begin on the level of coolness.

not bad.

My system holds 120 GB + USB, CD, or DVD input for more, but I had to install a mobo, monitor, cabling, etc.

lucky! I have a gaping hole with butchered wires where my stereo should be, I have a stock stereo sitting in my room but I no longer have the stock connections in my car :(

Well... that's why I make the big bucks.

My tuner doesn't tune though, I have to use the preset buttons to jump the dial around. It takes practice.

Back to the topic at hand, Manntis and $100T2, I'd really like to see both of your setups.

Don't plan on track prepping this bad boy. Thought about the FC, but it is a death trap.

The graphic equalizer is the best thing ever. I'm in love with it. I do plan on upgrading the speakers, but the stereo and amp are actually quite good.

This is quite possibly the only stereo modification I would do to my FB. In the timeless words of Paris Hilton, "That's hot." Was this some sort of kit, or did you make it all yourself? I'd really like a little more info on it.

What year FB was this in? In my 84, I've got a little slider for the vent controls, not the buttons.

It's components, but MCS supplied it all in one box. Basic computer setup (as in physical plug-n-play, setting a few things in the software skin, nothing scary) was required.

As oyu can see, the vent controls weren't moved. Mine is an SE, but the setup will work in any '84-'85.

I did trim the 2mm lip around the stereo opening - that's the only mod to the dash itself. The DVD drive is secured to the top of the glove box with a scrap piece of metal strapping.

What about OS? I'm a stereo/pc geek in the utmost.

After that whole senior picture thing that seems to be almost legend... yeah, I love them.

Well - I like that song.

I was thinking of shooting a Star Wars fan film of life on Tatooine, from the Imperial perspective, using that song as the sound track.

Get it? Storm troopers... Move Along...

It's awesome, but there's a downside, too. Just wait until you try to find that ONE SONG you want to hear. :D
