This
project started with a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue. First
we got rid of those ugly 16" wheels and tires
and replaced them with a beautiful set of 18" TSW
wheels and 235/40zr18 Sumitomo tires. That helped.
But now the stereo needed some serious help. So what
started out as an upgrade sort of got carried away.
We started by replacing the factory cassette deck with
an Alpine IVA-C800 am/fm cd player w/6.5" monitor.
We installed an Alpine DVA-5205 dvd player underneath
it. Then we said to ourselves, we need surround sound,
so we installed an Alpine Dolby Digital surround processor
and center channel speaker. We replaced the front speakers
with Focal 6 ½" separates to sweeten the
sound, but we needed bass. So we added an Alumapro
Alchemy 10" subwoofer to give us some low end.
We then added a set of Blaupunkt overdrive 6x9's for
rear fill. The whole system gets driven by an Alpine
5 channel amp that puts out 800 watts of power!
But that was not enough. We added an Alpine dvd navigation system so we would
never get lost, and felt we needed a vcr and tv tuner to keep us more content
on those long trips.If we were going on long trips we would certainly take the
kids, so we added a playstation interface so the kids could enjoy their video
games and we installed 2 rear seat monitors inside the headrests so they would
be REALLY content. We then added 3 wireless headphones so the kids could watch
pokemon in quiet while we jammed up front to our favorite tunes. Did I mention
I thought we would need a 6 disc cd changer? Got one. Now where do we put all
this stuff in the trunk.? No problem. We custom installed everything and made
it look like nothing was there, til you hit a button on your remote and the amp
motorizes out towards you. Feel free to come see and experience this vehicle
firsthand, you won't be disappointed!
