Alright I picked it up at lunch today and had a little issue. My phone is a Galaxy S7 and I can not seem to get it to work with Android auto which is pretty depressing but I did get the blue tooth to work so i got to test out they system. WHOLE LEE CHIT! The C3s are incredible so glad I upgraded. The RD900/5 puts out crazy crisp power for highs and mids as well as smooth and sharp bass that makes that ragged old 12"W3 feel like new.

On top of the sound system being great the first thing I noticed when I got in the truck was how quiet it seemed. The exhaust never was rowdy but during initial startup you would know it had Longtubes and could faintly hear the cam at idle. With the sound deadening they did I can not hear the exhaust or faint lifter noise (Sounds like sewing machine) from the engine compartment. Very impressed with the sound deadening and I had already done the entire floor. My 241k mile Tahoe is now much quieter than the 2011 Tacoma I have been DDing all week.

The backup camera is very clear and snaps on as soon as you put it in reverse as expected. What I think is cool and I guess I didn't think about before is that I can see the view from the dash cam or back up camera anytime I want on the Kenwood headunit screen, even while driving.

I will admit that I have the shop looking out for a good deal on a W6 for me because all though the W3 is as I expected it to be I do want more. I think I'm used to the base over powering the speakers and that is not the case for this setup. It gave me goose bumps when Disturbed came on and gave me flash backs of their concert I went to recently.:head3::head3::head3::head3::head3::head3:

When I get home or this weekend Ill post more pictures.
