Alpine iLX-W650 on PAC RPK5-GM4102
Just purchased these two, they’re currently on back order… doh!!
The Alpine, the price and the size, is what did it for me! For me the PAC looks so much better than the other brands. Also, this version of the PAC has the buttons already installed, no need to switch over the old ones! What do you guys think??

just installed the same combo!
Just had this exact combo installed in my wife's 2013 SS, looks great and sounds great, went with Hertz Speakers all around, Audison SR 5 Amp, and Audison 10" DL sub box. It sounds amazing, especially compared to the stock(non-Bose) radio.
The installer and I have been on quite a learning curve with the PAC unit, carefully read everything you can find. The link below is the best information I have found about the PAC kit, so good, wish I had read it before I dropped off the car, would have saved a couple of headaches.

While I still like the PAC unit, I'm really growing to hate the Pioneer unit I bought, especially due to the tight fit and the lack of a volume knob. I strongly recommend a HU with a short chassis like the one you bought. It's really tight behind the radio especially with all of the wiring. With that unit I would have been able to possibly hide the Sirius unit behind the radio too and possible eliminate some of the cutting. I've never used the DVD/CD function so I obviously wouldn't miss it.

i see on Five Star Car Stereo's recent Camaro install video they recommend opening up the back of the dash a little bit more than originally recommended so that the fit isn't so tight and allows more room to put the Pac module.

Good selections. However, I wish Alpine offered a true tuner (no power) with Optical and RCA outs. Alpine has seriously dropped the ball on this proven quality design.

Yeah, but for $299. It’s not bad, plus it has all the stuff I will use!

Shouldn't be an issue with how shallow the W650 is. It leaves a ton of room behind this unit. 5 Star was installing a full depth double din Pioneer, which leaves no room behind it. Later, Brad
