Retro Log

[audio-neon 34]

This is the car that got me the name audio-neon. The car that started it all. It took me 2 years to pay off. It lived several iterations of equipment, and it was my baby. The journey starts in December of 2004. I was a Junior in High School and I received this car fresh in paint, completely rebuilt. It was my baby.

A 1998 Dodge Neon Coupe 2-door.

In 2004 I added polk dB series coaxials. 6.5" in front and 6x9 in the rear. By late 2005 I was getting an itch for more. I went to my local car Audio shops and decided that Audio Obsessions was the place for me. Top notch customer service, and they were professional. They added a jvc 2 channel amp and a 12" Eclipse subwoofer.

Soon after in early 2006 I was getting the itch for more. I decided that I wanted to go after sq but I also wanted an install that was mine. Unique. Because of my obsession with camaro's we came up with this shape that was modeled after an engine block. For front components I decided on memphis m-class components. Eclipse 8455 head unit with i pod, compustar pro ssr alarm/start and eclipse amps. I also decided on Diamond D1 sub-woofers for their sq and efficiency.

This is the car that got me really started in the SQ world. Here are some pics of the building process:

And some finished pictures of the build:

Eventually the northeastern weather won out, and a patch of black ice killed my baby.

Interesting fact, It took 5 gallons of resin to glass my trunk:

and just a nitpick....

the orange basket/yellow kevlar cone and blue silk tweeter is a dead giveaway. your componets weren't m-class, they were/are memphis sqs. of course now they have a blck cone/grey basket with black silk. i've owned enough of those to start my own memphis audio store, lol.

m-class from that era had black poly cones and metallic tweeters that were silver.

otherwise, pretty sweet install!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My mistake, I had a mclass box laying in my room still. Must be from the m-class coaxials sitting in the box still, lol.

sweet install. My sis has a 97 sitting in my drive way dead due to an electrical problem. Im impressed that you were able to get all of that equipement into there. Sucks about the black ice. bummer.

J/W did you upgrade the alt at all?
