Explorer dashboard

The RS-D2 system controller in the dash stock location for easy visibilty. Take note note of what is not visible...the Clifford Intellipage alarm. In this case, what you can't see can hurt you!

RS-M1 12 disc changer in the center console for easy CD magazine swaps. This console also houses a single JL Audio 10W5 subwoofer for devastating "up front" bass reinforcement

Custom console with integrated phone

The RS-C100 at easy reach of the driver's hand

   
Camouflaged head unit

The RS-D2 hides from view behind a faceplate fabricated from the original Ford OEM radio. "Some must die so that others may live."

   
Front door speaker pod

The front doors house the System 220 midbass drivers as well as 2 MW170 8" woofers each. Incredibly fast midbass.

   
Dynamat applied to the door

All surfaces were lined with Dynamat to deaden them and reduce vibration.

(Click here to see more pictures of the Dynamat application.)

Rear doors, rear fill. One a/d/s/ 325im speaker in each door
