Hey guys,
Just finished this project, which wins the award for longest distance between the owner of the car and myself -- Vehicle is out of North Carolina
Just it happens, he had the car down in Socal at GTM for a full 4.2 liter stroker motor build plus super charger install, and in between the motor and the SC, he had it shipped up to me for the install.
Lets get started with the goals:
1. To achieve a high level of sound quality, unlike most of my other customers, this car is NOT going to be a daily driver, so we sacrificed steahiness for utility for sound quality.
2. Remove the previously installed system and utilize the existing subwoofer with new equipment everywhere else.
3. Obtain a clean and classy look that goes with the exterior of this show car...Here the owner had two basic requirements: A. Be subtle, clean and simple, he did not want over the top cosmetics, and B. Display the beautiful Focal sub magnet up.
So...thats basically it, the end result is a car that is going to have MEGA horsepower, looks great at car shows, AND possess superb sound quality all at the same time.
First, three pics of the car from the owner, the car was shipped to me on stock rims and no front bumper (to get it on the truck), so i will use these instead...truly a clean looking ride here!
and here is the previously installed system, whcih had the focal 33kx sub and an audison 5 channel amp (already removed in the pic) along with a bitone and a focal k2p 3 way...not the worst i have seen but we both felt that it didn't live up to the rest of the car, the peeling vinyl didnt help.
Lets get started, since its just the stock headunit, i didnt take a picture of it...so lets start with the Mosconi RTC remote bass knob that i built into one of his blank knockout panels to the left of the steering wheel:
four quick pics of how this was done, first this is the Mosconi RTC with its box:
this was taken apart, and we will retain only the main circuit board unit:
This part was then secured to the knockout panel, with its internal plastic ribbing groundout, and voila, here it is:
