Sharing my Audio Plans

[TXJEEP]

Posting this in case anyone is interested in audio upgrades in your scrambler. Everything in my build is bolt into stock scramblers with 2 exceptions:
1. the head unit is single DIN but could be substituted with RetroSound unit
2. the stock alternator output may not support the additional draw on the system. I already replaced my in the build so I did not do the math.

That would blow the doors off of anything I’ve ever had ! Envious. You should be able to hear music now at 70 mph with the top off.

Wow...

Impressive. I've never even had a radio in my 8 so you've certainly got me beat. Nice.

Very nice setup. I started with a retrosound in dash head unit and ended up pulling this out and putting in a Bluetooth amp (ATOM P20) from Rockville. This way I have I ended up with a clean dash (no radio cutout) and put the amp in my console. I also run a Rockville sub (USS10) under the drivers seat. Rockville sounds good and priced right.

Sounds good and everything is hidden and ran through my phone.

Will be interested to see what quality the console/sub box ends up being. Need more pix...

I thought about going with a hidden head unit or retrosound. I ended up replacing all of the heating and AC and installing a restomod air system. This pushed me to get a custom dash from DoubleD fab so that I could cut in proper vents, auxiliary switches and the heat/ ac controls.
