I have a Dual tuner in my daily driver and it works well, on occasion I have to go to my phone to start the Bluetooth music, but the sound quality is decent, and I have it powering 4 speakers, no additional amps.

I have a Dual tuner in my daily driver and it works well, on occasion I have to go to my phone to start the Bluetooth music, but the sound quality is decent, and I have it powering 4 speakers, no additional amps.

I worry I won't hear the radio car is really loud I have a JBL extreme 2 Bluetooth speaker they are actually very loud and it's the 8 inch. We watch movies outside with it movie night and it's like an outdoor theater great sound quality. In car though if running can't hear it well. I may consider new mufflers to tone it down a bit. Not glass packs need to be quieter, has chambered summit now 2.5 inch pipes.

Stereo and sound
Decided to spend some money. I didn't go crazy on head unit just a Sony single din with Bluetooth will go in the Challenger console where controls were prior.

Kicker 6.5 fronts and 6x9 rear with a kicker under rear seat powered subwoofer.

A Kenwood 600 watt 4 channel amplifier with 50 watt passthrough from head unit per channel.

This should get me a nice radio to listen to when we drive to events and shows.

AC is getting charged this week and we'll have that out of the way. I will get some pictures as I install all this and car is pretty much done for this year just going to enjoy it.

Radio test fit little trimming behind and then this plate will replace the one in car will sell this console still all original. Had an extra console. I have a switch plate I'm putting in as well for the ZF trans mode and few other things I want to have in there.

So I did a thing! No holding back now wanted to do some different and well how it sounds can always move it and I have no center passengers so this works I think.

The seat is actually cut out to fit the sub woofer.

Need to put hard foam piece under sun but it works fine. System sound good and will look nice once it's all cleaned up.

After this picture I moved it forward more and deeper into the seat. The seat sits nice and flat. I do of course plan to tell the two grand boys to not climb on the middle as a precaution.

Adjust my cover a little bit but hot right now sounds good inside the seat is not buzzing or making bad noises.

Any concerns that the amp might get hot? Can't remember if they need airflow or not.

They make these for under car seats my Ram pickup has this way more hidden than this no fan on it. I figure it becomes an issue I can always get one with fan. Did a three hour trip no issues radio all in will get some console pictures and other speakers installed.

I did an extra amp with the head unit just for the 4 speakers thats a Kenwood passthrough 600 watts. Head unit is 200 watts 50 x 4 speaker sounds great. The sub being an 8 inch inside the interior and the A body so small works out well.

Two panels to do, cover factory radio hole and switch plate on the console. Still plan to blackout the dash I have a dye for that.

Got to the AC done today and have ice cold air now and fixed an issue with the March Performance serpentine setup. The .200 spacers will not work with the March Performance Saginaw pump exact the same as the OEM size and was to far forward from block. Swapping out spacers for two washers dropped it down to about .135. I also figured out the AC compressor nose was down as it moved around on me. The alternator shares the back mount on head. The back side bracket by intake was turned upwards. I had to loosen and turn it down. Now the belts no longer plague me coming off. Sucked had to drain radiator fluid to employ this fix.

I would not purchase CVF or March again the kits are nearly identical. Other options are the very more expensive ones they sell. A better option would have been the Magnum style setup that is actually made by a group. They do both big block and small block LA style setup.

So lets talk about modern wheels VS a fifteen. Now that I have a driving example I will run the 15's. My Audi A6 has a 255/40 R21 as you can see we all know where the term wagon wheel came from. Looks great on the Audi but no on a Dart Sport. The Dart rear is a Mickey MT 255/60 R15.

I got my final piece printed in the high heat carbon plastic so this won't melt in my console excited to finish up and have my switch panel.in place.

The cut piece with yellow wax was the low temp plastic made to check it prior to printing the more expensive materials.

Done turned out great!
