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!!

Had to take some extra care with these MC-R shrouds that cover the FX-R projectors I'm retrofitting into these Solsti lights.  These are a newer-ish shroud that I have yet to install, so I'm pretty stoked for the outcome.  The Halo will sit behind the oval cutouts and will give a nice even glow due to the frosted plexi lens in between.

Waiting for them to set and I'll have these back together in no time.

Had a returning cusotomer that wanted a way for his wife to use her iPod/iPhone in her Honda Pilot, using the stock radio....unfortunately, this Pilot was completely decked out from the manufacturer, so we couldn't use any of the cool products out there that let you integrate the right way....so we had to go with a wired FM Modulator...which, in the end, sounded amazing!

Did an Audi LED retro on a Corolla S today.
After bumper removal, install went smoothly.
Customer wanted these lights to be on whenever the car is on...so a circuit was found inside the vehicle.

Looks good and customer loved it

Pretty simple install......Subaru WRX STI with stock headunit gets a Pioneer P2300 dvd headunit install....customer will be back to add Navigation.

Bypassed the video lock-out feature with a relay so customer doesn't have to keep flicking a switch to bypass everytime.

Got the projector taped off and everything ruff sanded for primer.

Primer down

High-Temp Low-Glass Black Down

Ready for paint on the shroud...just need to get the red!

Got the lights assemblied, aligned and mounted.
They are going to keep curing overnight and I'll get back on these.

Next is paint (two different colors), CCFL lighting, then permanent mounting.

Should have these done by weeks end no problem.

Oh...and in case you're wondering...yes, the driver side light needs adjustment....the bulb is off a bit....but this was just to set them in the housing.....testing phase

Customer was happy with headlights...so I got them sealed up, waterproofed and wrapped back up in their boxes.  Will ship on Monday.

Fun project....ready for another one

Got another Solstice in that wants an Advanced Retrofit.
This one will be recieving:
FX-R Hybrid Projectors, modified to get the best possible light output
CCFL Halo's behind Shroud
MC-R Shroud custom painted Red
Internal Parts Painted Black
Headlight Lens Buffed and Cut

Got some time with them tonight...opened them, sized them up, cut some plastic, set the projector in for a test fit.

Tomorrow I'll get them on the car, aligned and set permanently and we'll be good to start painting....

Got these things ready to ship out.

Converted the stock DRL area over to a 'fake projector' look, blacked everything out, added dual Demon Eye accent lighting as well as Dual Halo Accent lighting.

Lots of work.
