Here is my long time friend's new Fiat 500 she recently purchased. She was happy with the factory headunit with the Bluetooth but the rest of the system needed to go.

I did this install over a four month period when I had free time.

Audison Bit Ten

JLHD 900/5

Zapco RH-16.2 6.5" Reference-active

ALPINE SWR-1042D

The bass control knob was mounted to the left of the steering wheel.

I also made her a stealth cover incase she ever wanted to enter the rookie class to see how the system does.

Quarter panels, roof, and trunk all received deadening.

We also had the headliner and visors wrapped in black suede

After I was done with the install I took it to The SoundMan in Santa Clarita were Doug and Rafa took care of an input issue and then tuned the Bit Ten.

I was waitng for someone to ask that

I had an extra Type R from a job. I gave it to her for free. Trying to get her to purchase an IDQ.

I built the enclosure with an oversized speaker ring to accomodate another manufature's 10". You can see that in the pic with the grill off.
