And here is a picture of the head unit installed. I put a switch and fuse on the hot wire to turn it all the way on and off. Head unit has ipod adapter and is satellite and blue tooth ready and has remote. Put together with the component speakers it sounds awesome. Thought I might have to put in an amp to get sound this good like a car but that would be overkill at this point. Very please with the sound quality.

Very nice work, indeed! I like that you added a master power switch. I did that when I added a unit in my Trade Wind.
You gave us info about the component speaker system. How about a few more details about the head unit itself. The photo is too small to even read the brand. You mentioned iPod adapter, is it iPhone compatible? iPhones complain if products connected are not verified.
The ones that I have seen that list iPhone compatibility so far have been Alpine units.

I am about to redo the stero in my Overlander - Trying to find an indash with tape (they are hard to find now most have CD now). I want to keep it in the front with the 8 track (it works). I have the tape adapter with CD. This way I can listen to 8 track, tape or CD. Might have to upgrade the speakers - don't know if the old ones will handle the upgraded units.
I will vouch for the Kenwood Excelon stereo. I put the same one in my off-road wrangler about a year ago. It had tons of speakers/amps. I loved the stereo. It was well made and with the usb port direct line in for the ipod, you can't beat it. It was also very low cost compared to other stereo's with the same features. The adjustment cabability/2 rca pre-amps made it possible to grow the sound system well.
I went with a Boss (inexpensive) unit that is am/fm/cd/dvd with a headphone output, mp3 input and a USB input for my Ipod. I hooked it up to our new 19" HDTV and we play movies through it as well.
Installed a new automotive radio (with CD, remote, and all the bells and whistles) in the upper front cabinet in or '74 - 31' A/S.
The AM radio signal will disappear from time to time and you hear a disturbing whine from the speakers.
Right now I suspect the radio is picking up interference from the new Xanex that replace the Univolt. I suspect this interference is from the Xanex because the weird whine occurs when the Xanex starts up to charge. Once the Xanex has done it's thing the AM signal returns.
