So after having my car for about a year I got the bug to upgrade the factory audio system. I've been an audio enthusiast for many years and own high end separates for my HT at home. I have dabbled in car audio but not to any audiophile level. When I made this decision I weighed a few options the most important of which was two.
I really wasn't sure what to expect as I followed the advice of the installer. I can tell you he was very impressed with the design placement of the original location of all the drivers.
All I can say is I've never heard so much detail and staging out of any car system. It is truly amazing what this guy did. Every piece of music that I play through this system now is simply an experience.
BTW, for those that are interested the drivers are made by CDT Audio.
So what have you guys done and what's your impression after it was over.
Would you do the same thing again? For me, it's an ABSOLUTELY.. :thumbsup:
Here's a few pics of the install.
- Trying to keep the car as factory looking as possible
- Upgrading the system with sound and installation quality in mind
- Center channel - Two 1" audiophile silk dome tweeters cross fired upward
- Left/Right Channel - 1" Single silk dome tweeters within a sealed enclosure
- Kick panels - Single 2" silk dome tweeters
- Doors - 6.5" mid bass carbon fiber drivers
- Package tray - 6.5" high efficiency coaxial drivers
- Trunk - 10" carbon fiber driver (fitted in the factory plastic box deadened with Dynamat and filled with fiber filler)
