Took me several months to piece everything together and get the full job done, but I am extremely happy with the end result.

I knew I wanted to upgrade the audio in the car, and although the 04 system is a vast improvement over my old 02, it still was lacking. I thought it better to just go ahead and do everything at one time rather than piecemeal, and things went on from there!


Here's the specs:

Headunit: Alpine CDA-9833
with Modifry DCI

Components: JL XR650CSi

Amps: JL 300/4 and JL 500/1

Sub: JL 12w3v2
in custom fiberglass toolwell enclosure

I also have another amp rack in the spare tire area on which sits -

Alpine KCA-410C (Versatile Link) which interfaces:
Alpine CHA-S634 (cd changer)
Terk XM Commander (satellite radio)
Ipod Mini

As i only drive my car at weekends, I decided to make my trunk more show than functional - EVERYTHING is covered in raw carbon fiber.

Comments welcome!

 

awsome is like carbon fiber in your trunk?

 

That is some crazy trunk! Looks nice man!

 

it is raw carbon (ie without the resin applied)

 

Holy carbon trunk batman!... very, very nice install

 

Wow, it's almost like you knew what you were doing!

 

how is the sound? any rattles with the hardtop on?

 

even though i'm not big on stereo stuff, you got a very nice setup!!!

 

Sorry dude, but, all that carbon looks tacky. BTW, why do you have that XM unit on the radio door? Isn't your Alpine HU already XM ready?
