When it came to the driver’s video source a Kenwood KVT911-DVD 7”
Touch Screen was installed to control the entire system. Below the
head unit, a Kenwood Center Channel was installed in a custom dash
kit. Since Marty is not a smoker, a custom panel was
fabricated to house another Kenwood speaker for the factory
navigation.
For rear video pleasure, Kenwood 7” wide screens were installed
into the headrests.
As the custom kick pods were started, tape was laid on the entire
floorboard to prevent anything from getting on the factory
carpet.
Next Carpet was glued to the tape and fiberglassed to give the
exact contour of the vehicle’s floor.
Rings were cut to mount the 6 1/2” JL Audio Speakers and placed
perfect alignment. Once the rings were placed, body filler was added
to get the exact contour of the floorboard. After this was finished,
the pods were sanded smooth.
With the pods sanded smooth, factory vinyl was used to wrap the
pods. Then the JL Audio 6 1/2“ mid-bass drivers were installed.
Marty wanted his Audi to stand out, so it was
decided that the amp rack would become part of the trunk lid. The
factory panel was fiberglassed till it was rock hard. Soon as that
was dry, the positioning of the amps was started.
After 3 days of body filler, sanding and more factory vinyl, the
panel was hung in the trunk. Next came the task of wiring. The
entire car was wired with Streetwires 4AWG wire, zero noise RCA
cables, and speaker wire.
The JL Audio amps were installed, a 500/1 for the sub bass and
300/4 for the front stage. An Alumapro 5 Farad capacitor was
installed to help with power flow.
When it came to subwoofer selection, there were no questions
asked. The Audi was outfitted with JL Audio’s finest. A single 10W7
was selected. To give the Audi that “custom appearance”, a
fiberglass enclosure was constructed out of 1 1/2“ MDF and
fiberglass. Once sanded to perfection, factory automotive paint was
laid slick.
