Most projects on my car I try to do myself and then I enjoy them tell it's time for the next level of expertise.My stereo is the next victim,It now consists of a JVC head unit,3x5 in the doors,6 1/2 in the package tray area,all pioneer speakers from 1993.Added a 700 watt 5 ch. Lightning Audio amp and 10 in. Infinity sub in a closed box.The system sounds great but with technology that's 17 years old and a lingering pet peeve I decided to do something new.The pet peeve that is starting this project is that the dash is out of a 71 jav as our the window pillars,for some reason the pillars don't reach the window showing the window gasket.Well after 15 years I needed to fix this,so I'm having tweeters installed in the pillars and adding material to the pillar so they'll fit tight to the window.Here's some pics..The tweeters are alpine componets that also include 5 in. midrange speakers with crossovers included.The 5 in. speakers are located in the kick panels.In the trunk there'll be two 8 in. JL audio subs and a Alpine 5 ch. amp putting out 700 watts.Here's the finished before picture.,.Now tore apart..Here is a couple pictures of the new sub boxes,amp and speakers..That's as far as the project has come so far I'll post more pics as the work gets done.Thanks for looking Mike Edited by ramblynn - Apr/10/2011 at 6:23pm |

Looks like a very clean install. You've got a 2nd gen dash in an early Jav? Can't wait to see the final product all put back together. Keep us posted, OK?

A very tastefully done custom for sure. I may be biased, but 2nd generation Javelin dashes have always been one of my all time favorites. Yours really looks great, is that a Dakota digital gauge pkg I see there? Custom console, what did the seats come out of?

That is sweet! I was thinking of doing tweeters in the pillars but was going to use a gauge pod cut and molded to each side as I did not think there was room for the tweeter if added to the stock cover. Would like a little more detail on the mod to the stock covers to fit tweeters if you can. I want to do a system that looks old school but sounds like Today’s systems but might be hard as it all starts with the head unit and not much out there fit the stock dash with out cutting it up and that is not going to happen.

Hi again amcrules00
I'm biased to,the 70 dash to me was the most boring dash they put in the javelin,the 68,9 dash had more character also but the 71,4 with the wrap around feature was my favorite.The guages are cyberdyne from around 1992.Console is your run of the mill auto store style that had rear cupholders and a cooler inside that I fiberglassed together and made the top the way it looks now.I wanted a armrest back since the removal of the factory flip-up center console.The seats are ouy of a 4 dr. 1986 dodge lancer hatchback,the sportiest seats I ever saw in that kinda car.

Thats the part of the project the stereo store is doing,Buy I know they cut a hole in the pillar for a tweeter insert then bondoed it in place.I don't know if the picture shows it but it is built out a little,also for the stereo sound they were looking for there angled a certain way towards the windshield.After they were bondoed and fitted to the windshield they were wrapped in vinyl to match the dash.I think you could do a system like you want,I could ask the shop I'm using what they think?What do you want for equipment in your car?

Thanks imacarfan2
Hi Jim
If one had the funds the setup from control freak would be on the car already.As far as another project again that means funds so that ain't happening.The pil;ar thing was just bugging me and the labor trade offer was to good to pass up.Hope things down south are going well!Have a great holiday.Say hi to Jim.
Mike

Ya, I like the control freak stuff also. Funds, what are they, I can barely afford to get my hood done. If I know you though, it will be over the top! Merry Christmas. Jim |
