Audio
No car is
complete without an elegant audio system. This is one of my favorite
areas too. I did my first custom install in a Porsche when I was 14yrs
old. Anyone can toss in some subs, but only the best can put together a
good install or at least that is the way I fell about it all. The red
"PONTIAC" you see in the picture is behind the backseats. It is backlit
with 3 15" red neons. Looks great at night! The sub vents are also
illuminated.

Pioneer 9300 CDHU, is the control center for the audio
video system. It is packed with great features for easy
listening, and for competition! Options, like adjustable line
level controls, high voltage RCAs, Frequency controls for internal and
external amps, great display, automatic radio stations... |

In the sun visors you will find 5/6" LCD screens
tucked away nicely. It is a great location for safety and for
looks. The screen away from all sun glair and at a good viewing
angle. Also, a new 5.6" screen is going to be installed in the
center consul. All the screens are Power Acoustik brand 5.6" super
thin LCD screens, that have exception resolution and stability. |

The Power Acoustk DVD player is hidden away in the
lockable glove box. Easily accessible and a little bit more
secure. Besides DVD the unit can read MPEG, MP3, DVD audio, CD-RW,
CD-R... There is a remote sensor on the dash so you can use the
DVD remote control and mount the unit anywhere in the car. |

The trunk! Well I went for a clean and custom
look, and that is what I got. All wires are hidden, and the ones
coming from the amp to the trunk area are completely covered in black
loom for a stock look. The amp has 3 high speed fans to keep it
cool. The fused distribution block is mounted for easy access,
and there are red neons inside the box vents for looks. There is
an anodized red fire extinguisher mounted on the floor in front of the
subs that is not pictured. |

The neon glow from the box vents. Very bright
and awesome looking at night. |

The sound control! I went with the b-quiet brand
dampening material, and it works great! The install is an all
day project, but I managed to get 2 layers on the bottom, 3 layers on
the back wall, and 1 layer on each side. Plus, the trunk lid has
several layers. The car has almost no rattle at all, and makes
for a nice sound environment. |
