The final system ended up consisting of
- McIntosh MSS530 mids and tweets, replacing the factory McIntosh speakers. The factory speakers looks like a rebadge from some other brand.
- 3 X McIntosh MCC301M. These are 300W monoblocks. 1 powers the front left speakers, 1 powering the front rights, and 1 powers the subwoofer.
- 2 X JLAudio 6W3v3 subs, firing downwards into a fiberglass enclosure. Wish I could have used McIntosh subs but they don't make any subs. The enclosure was molded off an imprint of the back side of the seat to allow for maximum volume. When moved back, the seat slides "into" the sub.
- Audio Control EQX used to smoothen out the sound curve. The GT cabin produces a couple major spikes and a major lull which needed to be addressed.
- I kept the factory McIntosh deck since that is the only model McIntosh produces, but added a iPod connector into the AUX input.
All the wiring was done without cutting any of the existing factory wiring, matching the factory molexs whenever possible. The hardest part of the project was overcoming the "noise" generated by the engine/alternator and radiated into the cabin thru the center tunnel.
The only thing left to do is to anodize the side plates on the amps to be silver, instead of the off-gold color.
