Phil brought his Porsche Targa back for an upgrade.
He loved the way the Memphis MClass speakers sounded (who wouldn't) but he wanted more.
Being that it's a sudo-convertible, adding an amp to boost the speakers to a higher, crisper,
un-distorted sound is the next step.
Naturally, the Porsche would only get the best....so we threw in an MClass 4 channel Amp (MC4.50) This is giving the speakers 50 watts at minimum to power through the road noise and wind.
This is exactly what the Targa needed....but I'm thinking he might be back to add a sub :) :)

While I was in there, he asked me to take a look at the 'stock-ish' alarm that was installed...giving him sporadic false alarms throughout the night. I located the 'brain' back in a cubby hole, un-zip tied and just rattling around....Phil no longer has the remotes for it, and the
company has long been out of business. So I yanked that and a bunch of other wires that were just chilling in the boot, attached to the fuse block and battery....but to nothing else.

So....moral of the story....if you want really good sound and your car needs to lose some (wire) weight.....Come to Trax Customs :)

 
 
El Hefe Phil needed some new speakers in his 1984 Porsche Targa 911.
He wanted something better than what he had currently, which was aftermarket audio, but it was old and busted....so we go with new hotness.
Only thing on this one was that old busted was pretty gnarly.  This was easily the biggest set of aftermarket speakers I've pulled out of a car.....and I'm pretty sure they are home audo speakers.  The stock door woofers were Pyle, but they were 4-point mountable, which tells me they may be home audio (not an expert) but based on the size of these hugeantic (it's a word) woofers, old school crossovers and 3" diameter tweeters; it's easy to tell that someone pulled these out of a loaded bookshelf speaker setup.  The downside to this is that since the woofers were massive, they had to cut the door....which made it nearly impossible to mount real car audio speakers in the door.  After some plastic plate magic, I got the door speakers secured perfectly.

Old Busted - Pyle Woofer, MTX Crossover, Unknown Tweeter
New Hotness - Memphis Audio MClass 6.5" Component kit (seperate crossover)

The reason we didn't go with a component speaker setup is because the owner didn't think they were tweeters.....since it's an 84, and ze Germans designed things weird back then, i can see why this happened....unfortunately, component speakers would have sounded better, but oh well....we move on.

The rears were simple....remove old (pretty good condition Eclipse speakers) and replace with much better MClass speakers.

Even though the fronts were massive, these MClass woofers simply CRUSH them in the sound department.....there is a night and day difference in the sound this thing has now.  I've never heard a pair of MClass speakers that I didn't like.....it's why I have a pair of their Syncro Components in my shop setup!!

Cheers!!
