CSD Audio Custom Car Audio Installations

JR’s Porsche Carrera

JR’s Posche Carrera 4
We’re just gettin started with this one here, folks. First off, we added an AVH-P3300BT in dash multimedia receiver to update the technologoy in this porsche. The 3300BT adds DVD, iPod video, USB, SD playback as well as syncs with your smartphone via Bluetooth. In-Car connectivity at its finest. It even has an ‘ap mode’ feature to allow you access to many of your iPod/iPhone applications through the CD-IU50v cable. To get this new unit to fit, the dash had to be modified, climate controls relocated and custom trim bezel was fabricated to make this new unit look like it came that way from the factory. Up next, JR plans to add a 13″ woofer behind the back seat to provide this sporty coupe the low bass that the factory Bose system just can’t provide. Stay tuned!

We added the subwoofer today and totally transformed the Bose system into something quite impressive. While we could have gone with a fiberglass molded enclosure, budget was a concern so I designed a simpler version built entirely of MDF and finished with black carpet and factory matched tan vinyl. Very simple, very clean, and great sound.

This was my personal car, sponsored by Pioneer, Streamline Industries, Monarch Wheels, AWE Tuning, H&R, Smart Wax and Continental Tires, This A6 has competed in national Sound Quality Competitions and was featured at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The audio system in this A6 was very special.

Greg’s Audiophile Subaru Legacy GT

Morel Speakers & Genesis Amplifiers in Greg’s ’06 Subaru Legacy GT

Hate your long commute to work? CSD Audio will help you begin to enjoy your drive. With a 40 minute commute each way, Greg needed to find a way to make the most of the time he spends in his car every day. The system was designed to provide an amazing listening experience while keeping the appearance of this Subaru totally stock. 2 Genesis amplifiers, an Audison BitOne processor and Stinger 2 Farad capacitor are all hidden in a compartment under the floor, keeping them out of cargo areas as well as out of sight from would be thieves. We kept the factory radio in the dash to preserve the factory cosmetics and mounted the dash controller for the BitOne in a pocket above the clock. Thorough treatment of the vehicle with sound deadening material, careful placement of speakers, active crossovers, 1/3 octave EQs for each channel and digital time alignment of each individual speaker all combine to create incredibly realistic sound, natural vocals, smooth highs, and tight punchy bass.
