Portfolio - Stealthy Stereo System
I retained the Sony radio and Memphis amp the original shop had given him to stay within a reasonable budget. While I'm not big on Sony HUs, this model couldn't possibly be a better match for the R's interior. Brushed aluminum face, red lighted icons and numbers and blue display (talk about perfect!) At night, it's hard not to think it's anything but stock!



The Memphis Belle 5 channel amp (55w x 4 + 200w sub channel) was originally sitting in the spare tire well on wooden blocks with carpet to keep the rattling to a minimum, but I felt the need to place it behind the quarter panel area above the rear speaker away from prying eyes...

The completed hatch area. With the grill on the sub, it looks almost bone stock back there!



The Sony 10 disc changer was wedged into the spot by the factory Monsoon amp and needed to be relocated. I moved it into the floor and made it accessable by just lifting up the hatch's stock floor carpet.



The completed sub box with the grill off.



Here's a little detail with the front tweeter...
