Wow. Hell of a first car. Pics would be nice. Either use the attachment function on the forum or use a site such as photobucket and them here.

Don't go for the senator kit. The best way to make a berlina look good is to make it look like a calais. Such as headlights, tail lights, front chrome bonnet lip, etc.

All parts between the two models are interchangeable so its just a matter of time and money. Don't tint the lights though. Looks tacky imo.

Sound system lined up:

Boston Accoustics SPZ 60 6.5 fronts

not sure for rears but will be another component set...likely type Alpine type R's

Havnt found a 4 channel Amp suitable for front + rears yet...

One of the Alpine Ipod headunits..

Kicker Comp VX 15, 1000wat rms sub

Havnt found a suiable Amp for this either thats 1000 watts stable at 2ohms

...Need a better battery prob a yellow top.

Also need an adaptor to let the steering wheel controls work through the Alpine amp.


Any thoughts?

Dont forget all the sound deadening!

For amps that you could use, maybe look at Eclipse, Audison, Soundstream...plenty suitable amps out there.

Might have to give me a hand pulling all the gear outta mine soon!! lol
