A custom trim surround

The amplifier used to

installation with
multiple amplifiers. The
head unit is an Alpine
9835 with a 6 disc
changer, Sirius satellite
radio, and an IPOD
controler. I used 2 JL
Audio amps
a300/4 for the front and
rear speakers, and a
500/1 for the
subwoofer. The
subwoofer is a JL 10",
and the front and rear
speakers are FOCAL.
I used the area that
housed the factory sub
and amplifier to hide
both of my amplifiers,
IPOD controller,
satellite tuner, and CD
changer
The subwoofer was
constructed to fit exactly
in against the
surrounding panels.

look from above it would appear to
be a stock piece. You cannot see

are up. This piece was covered in
OEM Porsche carpet to complete
the factory apearance.

space in the already small interior.

In the second you see the amp rack

the wiring to allow the amplifier rack
to be placed above the spare tire
