Hey guys,

been on here for a while and this forum is great. I finally have my install at a point where i'm proud to show it.

here is the set up:

via epia m10000
xenarc 7" tsv
m1-atx
512 mb ram
80 gb hd
soundblaster live 5.1
audio control 24xs line driver/crossover
xtant 603x amp
cdt 6.5" components
12" image dynamics sub
navman gps

Here is the car:

stock dash:

The components:

ok and here is the install:

first the brains and the braun: to the right is the xtant amp and sitting next to that in another xtant amp case is the pc:

night time pic:

here is the sub and the blue thing above it is an exhaust fan in case the amp or pc get too hot:

here is a bad picture of the audiocontrol line driver, i think i will box this in to look like it's flush but i'm not completely sure yet:

now to the interior:

I hacked up a detatchable face from a pioneer dvd flip out unit then used an ipac2 keyboard emulator to map the functions to the appropriate centrafuse fuctions.

hope you enjoyed it.

Very clean. I almost did the same thing with the amp housings.

I LOVE how you hacked up the headunit and control Centrafuse with it. Hmm...

Do you ever wish you went with a VGA touchscreen? or are you happy with the composite alpine unit?

EDIT: oh I see, the screen is a Xenarc, and you just use the H/U face. Nice.

Higher resolution pics...

I like the trunk... but what happens if a passanger drops something on that unprotected sub?

Very nice install. Very sexy 'Vette too!

The fabrication work looks top notch! The hatch install is very clean as well.

Cris · 06-05-2005, 08:13 AM

Top notch indeed! Everything looks amazing!

Although it looks factory now, do you have a pic of how it looked stock?

vxcarpc · 06-05-2005, 08:51 AM

scott_fx · 06-05-2005, 01:56 PM

yup LS1, but everything has been changed out. new heads, cams, forged pistons, throttle body, even the block has been reworked a bit

damn that's nice! did you just get that carpeting from a fabric store?

scott_fx · 06-07-2005, 10:35 PM

nope... i got it from www.accmats.com it is specially made for the corvette and... like everything made for this car it cost me an arm and a leg and some other parts i don't wish to share

bulgogi777 · 06-07-2005, 11:08 PM

just curious, is the computer in the dash behind the screen? got any pics of how you crammed it in there?

oh, and is that LED grill thing in the back a fan too?

scott_fx · 06-07-2005, 11:31 PM

the computer is installed in one of those xtant cases...the one on the right.

the LED grill is a fan that is circulates air through the cases a bit since i covered up the sides of the cases
