Full Sound Quality Audio Build Part 1 we did on a 2003 Porsche 911 Convertible. The goal was have better sound quality and bring the electronics to current features you would have in never vehicles without making things look out of place. Customer wanted that wow factory from the audio system sound and aesthetics. The entire outdated OEM system was gutted and replaced with all Hertz Audio Speaker components, DSP and Amplifiers. The Headunit used is a Kenwood 773s Navigation/CarPlay/Android Auto unit. For the subwoofer a single Audiomobile EVO 8. To full off the aesthetics the customer wanted, a good bit of fabrication needed to be done. Everything needed to be serviceable with little effort by the owner in a timely manner. So amp rack panels needed to be designed in a way to fit together like a quick puzzle using high quality fasteners. Zero wood or MDF was used in this build. All panels, trim and mounting bracket supports were made out of PVC and acrylic.
To follow the design theme the customer liked, All of the factory dash trim pieces , subwoofer enclosure were hydro dipped in bush aluminum to add those finishing touches.
For safety and accident avoidance a backup Camera was added to avoid hitting any objects. Parking sensors and dvr camera system will be added at a later date when released to complete the full modern overhaul of this vehicle.
The build turned out spectacular, the sound quality and aesthetics was achieved in this build. The vehicle now has a very good soundstage that was dialed in with custom tuning. On the aesthetics side the led lit acrylic panel gives off a nice red glow and contrast with colored matched panels. Customer was very happy with the results.
