It has finally begun! I've been waiting all winter for this to start, and it finally has.
I've been without sound of any kind in my car since mid-October last year (bad move) when one of my amps blew a transistor. Since then I've had nothing to listen to other than the purr of the inline 6 and the clunk of my failing rear shock mounts.
Here's what's waiting to go in:
- Focal Power 4.75 and 1.800 amps
- Focal 27V2 subwoofer
- Audiocontrol EQQ
- Whole bunch of Connection Audison
Already in the car:
- Pioneer Premier DEH-8MP
- Focal Polyglass 130 V2 up front and 130CV1's in the rear deck
- Optima Yellowtop
Sub box has been started:
5 layers of fiberglass curing
This is where the amps will end up: behind the rear seats, on the floor. If you fold these seats down, anything long enough to rest on them has a considerable gap between its bottom and the floor of the trunk near the seats. Since this is basically wasted space, the amps can live there We'll make a removable cover just for extra protection too:
The first update of many, I'm sure. There are TONS of suspension goodies waiting for the street sweepers: H&R Touring Cup Kit (Tunerworks), Ground Control RSMs (Tunerworks); front and rear control arms, urethane bushings, new hardware and bits and pieces (Bimmerworld.com).
We'll only really get one day a week to work on this (which will be the picture schedule too), but I still plan on having it fully done by DTP.
