Default Audio is finally done...

Not to hijack Dave's thread on his absolutely gorgeous audio set up but mine happens to be done today and I would like to share them with you guys. The whole trunk was redone in black alcantara with each of the 13" Focal Utopia sub encased in its own fiberglass enclosure. Powering the speakers and subs are Orion HCCA amp, Phoenix Gold M50 amp, and MTX Audio 500 Class D amp. 2 Intersys 1 million farad caps ensure that enough juice is running through all the 3 amps. Cables are also upgraded into higher gauge using the home-audio-designated Vampire cables and interconnects....

Blue LEDs finish up the rest of the look of the amps hiding behind acrylic enclosures....

Enjoy:





Sorry, I just had to post this one last pic....

It's REALLY loud...quite a departure from the normal sq quality audio that I am used to. Oh well, I hope it scores some points in the upcoming autosalon competition....

very classy and not overdone aswell while useing the whole trunk for the display. this should score points very well at shows, but remember you did it for yourself cuz at shows some judges will give others with 6 tvs more credit and points but mayb if they look at your whole car in general they'll understand the look u'r going for---V.I.P. congrats

Wow Joko looks really classy. You should score some nice points with that. Maybe the judges over there have common sense on what looks nice and not like Blue said if you have 6 tvs thats what it takes to win.

My headunit is the Kenwood MP3 double-din player that really looks like a miniature microwave oven. It's really not picture worthy and it's nothing new, so I really find no reason to post a pic of it....

Here's the best pic I found in my hard drive, I think it was actually taken by Gewe21 (the previous owner of this car). As you can see, the Defi gauges are missing in the picture...

Yes, your HU does look like a nice microwave!

Can you please take some close-up pics of the trunk setup? Shots of each component please.
