Had a customer come in with an 83 Mustang Foxbody.
Basic stock turn knob radio....my favorite!
This wasn't too bad...just had to get the radio out of the dash....worse shaft radio one yet.
It's like the manufacturer puts in the radio first...then builds the car. In order to get this bad boy out you have to dismantle the enture center console, then start undoing the dash.....79.5 screws and bolts later, you're able to strong arm that radio outta there.
The other issue with this car is that it's got a common ground speaker system...which is usually fun. This one was easy, sometimes they can be a realy pain.
Made a simple trim piece to match the existing trim piece and we're good to go now.
Cheers!
Adding to last years upgrade:
Installed a Mono Block Alpine amplifier to push a JL woofer in a ported box.
Rewired the rear speakers to be on the 4 channel Alpine as well.

Had a good friend of mine come in for some audio upgrades to her Jeep Liberty.
New deck with iPod, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and Auxillary input.
Kenwoods lineup fit her needs perfectly.
For sound, I hooked her up with a 400 watt Digital Designs 2 channel amp pushing two 12" Memphis Street Reference Subwoofers in a slot ported box.
Amp is mounted under the seat so it's hidden and out of the way....and the subwoofer box can be unplugged so the full rear can be used for storage/hauling.
Overall, I'm impressed with the output of the Memphis Street Reference subs and the simplistic design that the DD Audio amps have.
So this build has been an on-going project.
Customer had a local shop do most of the work, but after many failed attempts, the system still isn't working 100%.
Horrible alternator whine and another whine that's not caused by the engine. Possibly the DVD players fault, but that'll be gone here soon (why i'm turning this into a projet).
Today's bill:
Sound deaden the doors to the MAX and install some grounding straps to attempt to supress the noise.
These doors are SOLID!

Had a veteran bring in his newly purchased Chevrolet Impala for an amp/sub/deck install.
Deck was easy, amp and subs were a bit different.
Needed to make room for a cap as well, so the cap went down low and the amp went up on the rear deck. Subs were bolted to the floor and the customer was stoked!
Cheers
Had a Nissan Frontier in tonight...busted out a deck and sub/amp install. Whomever sold the customer the amp/sub combo sold them the wrong Sub/Amp combo, but still, with the sub only seeing 200 watts, it still pounded...customer was happy, so that's all the matter.
Yet another reason why Trax Customs is your place to go for all your vehicle needs.....we'll do it right the first time!
Cheers!
Busted out a quick install last night for a client. Pretty cool, as this was probably the first 'Pawn Shop' install I've done where it wasn't JUNK product. Owner picked up an Alpine M5D M500 amp, had all digital controls with temperature, voltage and amperage displays....pretty neat.
Quick and dirty install, sounded pretty damn good, and customer was happy.
Cheers
