Panda Panda 100HP with Alpine & Hertz install

My install is finally finished, the guys at Source in Sheffield have worked their magic and I'm over the moon with the finished result.

It consists of an Alpine CDA-7944 headunit, Alpine PXA-H701 processor and RXU-C701 controller (that's the second headunit at the bottom), Hertz Mille MLK2 components, Mille subwoofer and HP4 amplifier.

The hole in the trim next to the mirror is where the tweeter was mounted originally, I have replacements on order, they didn't turn up in time for these shots.

This the boot (obviously!) - with wheel well mounted sub and the front component passive crossvers and amp mounted on a special frame work. Retrimmed in alcantara, the sub surround is fibreglass and painted to match the interior of the Pandas heater surrounds, etc.



Next, the door build. The lower portion retrimmed in alcantara, Panda owners note the door handle surrounds painted to match.



A-pillar builds housing the Mille tweeter. This again was retrimmed in alcantara.



Finally a shot of the CD player and processor controller.



The sub needs to be run in, once that's done then it can be setup properly but as it is sounds stunning. The only "fiddling" with the processor apart from crossover points was a small amount of delay on the front end to bring it in time with the sub.

The car will be at the Modified Nationals and Auto Italia on the Four Cars stand, I however, won't be as I'm in Rome and the the Isle of Man for the TT.

If you want a listen then just ask someone on there and they'll gladly give you a demo. I'm just gutted I can't be there too

WOW that looks great well done i bet that sounds really good

Awesome!! Just shows ya what you can achieve when you have money lol

that's one tidy motor! Can't wait to get a better look at AI

very nice dude! were you gona put the shopping though

that looks mint can't wait to hear it

Looks cool my GPS will be going to source for its install sometime this summer.

Saw this today at Modified Nationals - and got a proper blast of it, with the doors and boot shut as I sat in the drivers seat

And it sounded sweet the detail is amazing, and I was very impressed indeed.

Nice one Stu, glad you liked it.

It's going to be at Auto Italia this weekend so if anyone else wants a listen then please do. Paul from Source is really proud of what they've achieved in the Panda and is eager to show it off!

Found a better picture of my car from talkaudio



Sad thing is that's the only time I'll ever have a pair like that in it!

I recognise those two girls, hahah - got a few pics in the Gallery of them, hold on

LOL, nice!

I'll take you up on that offer

Nice one i love the sub being there if only there was enough room to do that in the stilo with 6ft+ of airspace.

Sound system looks very nice mate!
I bet it sounds better than it looks aswell!
