Default Full custom sound system

2001 Trans AM
Pioneer DDX 7017 HU
2 Kicker L7 12"s wired 1 ohm to Critical Mass ULA2500
2 JBL GTO 8"s wired 2 ohm to JBL CS200
4 JBL P662s wired 2 ohm to Fosgate 550x
Critical Mass 360 amp alternator/rectifier kit

Custom amp rack/8" sub box
Custom L7 box
0 gauge main power and ground
Custom alternator mount
Charging system stock wires upgraded to 2ga
Custom bezel and climate control relocation


Yes my car is filthy. The weather hasnt been great and it is my daily driver.


Need to stick the sides down a little better...






CS140 alternator housing with external voltage regulator and Critical Mass rectifier. Modified bracket from cbrperformance for alternator conversion/relocation. This was a fun project in itself.

I hit 138dB running the CS200 to the L7s at 1 ohm(Shouldnt have worked; worked beautifully.) I am hoping to get it out to a bass competition soon to get a current SPL and maybe another trophy.

The T-tops still fit in the back between the L7 12 box and storage well and there is a 1 square foot storage compartment after trimming the passenger side plastic.

Just curious... why go to all the trouble of relocating the HVAC controls when a double DIN can be installed in the stock location without moving them?

Honestly just for looks. I dont use the climate controls very often and liked the cleaner look. Always hated how those ***** look too.
