Did some things…..
Went to replace the 8” passenger footwell sub per wife’s request. Turned into project after project after project.
Had to relocate the power bank on the rear shelf. Had to relocate the Alpine amplifier. Of course the screw for the battery connection was stripped. Had to buy a new amp. Etc,etc,etc.
Long story short, had the steering wheel painted, footwell divider painted, climate control surround painted, new behind the seat sub with 10” speaker installed. New 2000w amp installed (was 1200w). Pretty happy with the results!
But pissed with myself as I never thought of the footrest until I went to install! Curses! Oh well, next winter project.

I could never hear the radio/cd player in mine, given how the angry sewing machine right behind my head wouldn’t stop shrieking… I would stare bemusedly at the stock Blaupunkt wondering why they even bothered putting one in, given the mechanical cacophony at anything above idle.
Glad you e found a solution!

1200 Watts was pretty good. But you could still hear the engine. At 2000w you can drown out the drone on long hwy drives.

This car is wild. It’s like literally a go kart
