Hours of research and here's what Ive got! Suggestions?

Well I have been piecing my system together for the past week thanks to 4-6 hours a night on these forums (Thanks for helping me pass the time here in the desert with your great posts! I'm itching to get home and throw more money at my G) and here's what I’ve got!

Kenwood DDX-7019 or (Kenwood DNX-7100) $680
P.I.E. KNW/USB-AV IPOD Connect $25
Kenwood KCA-BT100 Bluetooth $150
Double Din Finisher $90
Double Din Bracket With Navigation $50
Double Din A-C control $210
Omega AU-CAMERA $73
DLS UP6 $250
4080 Sub Enclosure $325
JL 10W6v2 $280
JL 500/1 Amp $349
JL 300/2 Amp $300
JL Audio XA-PCS4-2 4 gauge kit $74
Monster Cable MPC-I302-2C-5M (X2) $70
Remote Bass Control $40
Dynamat 10455 36' Xtreme Kit $125
Dynamat 10005 Roller $9
MDF Spacers
SHIPPING $122
Total $3,222


My Questions...

I have the factory NAV in my G which is why I opted for the DDX-7019 w/o NAV but I currently live in Hawaii and it is inop so NAV would be nice. (Don’t know why the magical 07 NAV works on the island and mine doesn’t!...geeze, burn a disk Infiniti...you mapped the island for the 07, whats the deal!)...anyway...

Would you suggest the hard drive 7100 version for NAV or external 7019 add-on? Pro’s? Con’s?

Anyone know any reason why the 7100 is better than the 7019? I didn't notice much difference between the two aside from the internal NAV.

What size MDF spacers for DLP UP6's?

And Finally, any other suggestions, improvements, better prices, or substitutions recommended on any of my choices?...Thanks

...oh ya, I will be purchasing most of my equipment from SonicElectronix.com
1 year warranty on most equipment. Anyone have experience with them?

Ya, Kenwoods IPOD/video connect is the Kenwood KCA-iP300V but I read that the P.I.E. KNW/USB-AV has had less reported problems.

use raammat if you want to save some money on deadener. Its just as good as Dynamat extreme but way cheaper. I think its 130 shipped for 62.5 ft. You are going to need more than 36ft of deadener for your install since your using a lot of high end stuff.

I would also check out www.Knuknoceptz.com for wiring. It has great wiring that is relatively cheap. Also spending 140 on RCAs probably isnt worth it imo.

Good setup, I went with (2) W6's with the 1000/1 and love the sound so basically the same sub/amp setup as you. You will like it I am sure. The JL remote bass control for the subamp is very important

Instead of running the 2 JL amps, you can run one DLS RA50. It will drive the JL 10w6 fine and you can bridge two channels to run 220 watts per side to you DLS UP6. PM 16psibrick about them, maybe he can get you the DLS stuff at a better price.
