When my car was wrecked I happened to have the audio system out. So unloading these now that I don't have the car anymore. I set prices at 50% off of retail, to be honest, I'd much prefer to sell as a lot or at least multiple pieces to save on shipping overhead, so feel free to make an offer on the collection.

Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack - $75

I read the threads on the board, half said it was great and half said it didn't make a difference. I set this up with some good Focal 6.5's in the stock location. Definitely increased the headroom, but the best part was I could drive on the freeway with the top off and still hear my music without distorting. Was a great and economical upgrade for me.

Clarion EQS755 - $50

I was disappointed in the sound from my Focal speakers, the seemed kinda tinny and thin. I was able to smooth and warm the sound. This takes speaker level input which is great for the vintage deck you're probably running. Even better, it has an aux input so you can hookup bluetooth (see below) or a simple line in connecting to your phone or whatever.

Exile Audio EXBT4 bluetooth adapter - $25

Bluetooth 4.0 adapter with AptX codecs. The AptX codecs are the key to avoiding the historically bad bluetooth sound quality.

Blue Sea Fuse Block & Bus Bar - $15

Found these at a local Marine supply store. Great quality. I used them to simplify the power and ground distribution for all the above items on the little amp rack I made and mounted under the dash. It kept all of this stuff hidden and out of view but kept the wire runs to a minimum.
