Not sure what you wanted a picture of. The audio system?

Here's a pictures of the Alpine IVA-W200 and the custom cabinet with the JL subwoofers.

I can also take

Question, are the car's data still available to review through the dash cluster and scrolled through by using the stalk? Navigation system through Alpine or no Nav at all. Look nice... S box is kind of Funky. Get rid of the Genie remote and program it thru homelink.

Hello,

Yes, the data still seems to be available. The Alpine has a Nav and there's also a Sirius module and an iPod interface. However, there's no bluetooth, though I could buy the module for it.

I do plan on programming the remote but haven't done so yet.

I don't like the subwoofer box either but I am not sure what to do with it. If I removed it, I would be saving a lot of weight because that thing is very heavy. Also, I could remove the one Zapco amplifier which powers the subwoofers. Having said that, I haven't yet experimented to see if the system sounds any good without those.

Thanks,

-T

His car was actually a black cab with black interior, which he modded (some would say ruined) by adding red balloon seats and red bits here and there and, oh yeah, a massive aftermarket stereo.

Does anyone know where in San Diego I could take it to have the audio system removed and the original replaced?

I can remove the amplifiers myself and just leave the wiring there. But I wouldn't know what to do with the main control module. Nor do I want to mess with it.

Thanks,

It looks like a nice system, why fudge around with it? The previous owner must have spent $$$ to have it done. Think you should leave it alone. Am sure it may sound better than the standard sound system. JMHO

Gotta give it to Emily -

That's what I'm voting. Looks like it's a 1st rate job. With the seats up it disappears.

Your car is setup with the full AWE etc. - don't reverse MOD. Please... you'll make me cry.

I'd be a bit concerned about what those subs might do to you in a rearender.

Ok, here's a sound clip of the engine start. I posted it on a separate thread as well. Hoping someone will diagnose it. Porsche wasn't too helpful...

Thanks,
