Moving right along, we are discussing audio direction in earnest -

the current plan is to mount an iPod power/data jack in the flip down ashtray, a carrera windshield for the integrated antennae, a behind-dash FM transmitter for satellite radio, mount thin midrange speakers in the soace above the frame rail section, beside the heater tube openings in the footwells (see photo above) for good directional positioning, run the blaupunkt "box" style subwoofer under one seat, the amplifier under the other, the center speaker upgrade in the dash for center fill, and possibly small tweets mounted at the top corners of the windshield above the headliner (concealed).

Problems with this setup include:

A - getting FM (unless there is an iPod add-on or similar to iPod device that incorporates FM),

B - controlling volume (the iPod will be plugged directly into the amplifier, so we'd like to incorporate some sort of rotary volume control in the dash with a correct Porsche knob- like the gauge illumination control?)

C - concealing the footwell and tweeter speaker without interfering with sound quality

D - anything and everything else a non-audiophile isn't aware of that would be a problem with this plan of action.

Any critiques, comments, suggestions MORE than welcome!

The object, of course is to maintain the bare-bones RSR aesthetic. and avoid technological anachronism (at least visually!)
