So I installed a full system in a Patrol - really nice
Posted: 22 May 2018 20:34
Recently I have been doing wiring repairs, Madman installs, dual battery Installations and some vehicle audio systems.
I did a bit of a fix up in Michael's patrol with the audio and the dual battery system and since then somehow word got round and I've ended up doing a few car audio systems.
Car audio is not new for me. I competed in Sound quality competitions in the late 2000's and early 2010's. I did all my own wiring which was judged for safety, neatness and creativity by the install judges. Then there was the listening judging... which is where I excelled.
Anyways, I was asked to install a full system with double din touch screen, amp, speakers front and rear, a small underseat subwoofer, and a rear view camera.
I included some decent cables and constrained layer damping (sound deadening) in the doors.
It turned out to be a really nice little system. Everything is hidden away or covered by factory panels except the tweeters in the A-pillars and the head unit itself.
Here's some pics of the build process and a little video clip at the end...
