The subwoofer enclosure was constructed from MDF with a Lexan window. The total internal volume of the enclosure is 1.6 cubic feet. The two HED subwoofers are pointed in opposite directions in order to show off the cosmetic details and construction of the subwoofers. The inside of the enclosure is finished with Formica style laminate, color-coded to the exterior of the vehicle.
The HED subwoofers are mated to a Cerwin Vega 3200 amplifier (600x1 bridged w/ Vega Bass). Vega bass is a unique feature in which you simply push a dash-mounted button to instantly receive a 3 dB increase in dynamic power and 10 dB of bass boost. Clean and accurate bass right at your fingertips, giving consumers instant gratification. Cool! The other amplifier in the system is a Cerwin Vega-3204 (80 x 4) powering the HED components up front and the HED coaxials in the rear. Built in the USA, these amplifiers feature 14 karat gold connectors and military spec circuit boards to ensure proper flow of power!
Both amplifiers are "floating" in the trunk at different angles. In order to accomplish this look, the amplifiers were mounted on square tubing. The tubing was welded together to the exact size of each amplifier and is supported by another piece (the legs), forming a T-shape. The floor pan was customized to again feature the red, white, and black colors of the entire vehicle (including the subwoofer enclosure) for a cohesive color scheme and an aesthetically appealing finish. All of the wiring, by Scosche EFX, was covered in braided expandable tubing, runs underneath the amplifier and down the support legs for a professional look. EFX 1-farad capacitors were linked to the Vega-3200 "Auxiliary Stiffening Cap" port to ensure instantaneous power when needed.
Certain people deserve recognition for accomplishing this project: Ken Koga and John Yi of Cerwin Vega; Borla Performance Industries; and Devin Oliver of Audio Advice. So there you have it, a simple installation with finesse that only cost $2000.00 (excluding installation cost) and took three days to complete. So is this system attainable by consumers? Absolutely! Plus, you don't have to give up your car for very long for the installation. It may not have much in terms of product, but did you ever hear the saying, "Good things come in small packages"? You don't have to spend a lot of money to get heart wrenching, clean, crisp sound. Sounds almost impossible in today's world, but the boys at Cerwin Vega have just proven to everyone that it can be done!
