Bing_0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 for those of you who have been here a while, you may remember the porsche boxster I did almost a year ago...well, a few month ago, the owner came back to me and told me he wanted to go CRAZY on his car Well, over the course of the next few month, working here and there...this is what I came up with. 90 percent of the install is fiberglass, painted to match the car...being one of the smallest cars around in terms of interior and luggage space, this proved to be quite a challenge.1. the system starts at an alpine 7998 headunit, whcih handles also all the signal processing controls via its on board eq, crossover and time delay.2. the front amp rack is a true floating amp rack design, meaning you cannot at almost all angles, see any supports that hold up the individual platforms the entire structure is held together by an intricate combo of industrial expoxy and screws. each platform was heavily primered, and then painted to match the outside of the car. on each platform, there is a crystal CAM 200.2 amp. one sending 400+ watts to the crystal CMP-10 subwoofer sunken down into the trunk floor below the amps; one sends 100+ watts or so to each door component set, and the final amp powers each interior sub/midbass with 100+ watts. 3. there are a total of 9 speakers in the car. the main ones being the crystal csc 643 3 way component set fiberglassed into the lower half ot he door. the stock porsche door is leather upto, and carpeted on the bottom, i spearated the halves, heaviy fiberglass the entire lower half, moled speaker baffles into them, and them mounted the speakres. the bottom half was also painted yellow to match the car and finally, the door was reassembled. two crystal 6.5" midbasses inhabit a custom molded center console sub enclosure that extends behind the seats and below the roll bar, the entire struture was molded in one piece and of course painted to match. a boxster emblem was placed on top of the enclosure the entire system sounds pretty good, gets very loud and stays clean, and the midbass is phenonmenal enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UnsanePyro Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I love that amp setup, but something about it seems more like a display in your store then functionality in a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_ProjectT-5R Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 looks great, I think some speaker grilles would add a little cleaness to the finished look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
