PANOZ ESPERANTE

Hand built car

Stock dash

Dash after we have the new JVC MP3 player in it... Notice the SILVER match is nice looking and the TILT of the JVC is a nice feature for a car that has the radio mounted so low in the dash!  A great improvement...

I think this is the first car in nearly 30 years that I have seen that had to have the passenger side seat removed to swap the in dash radio!
Beautiful car!



The  EMPEG player!  Cool stuff!



Puttin an alarm in a new Chrysler




New Kenwood Ham radio


Maticulous work on the bench before we get the gear to the car makes sure the system is working correctly.   ... In this picture we are remote mounting the head units control panel into the visor in a classic car. Notice the fine computer ribbon cable we used for extending the control panel into the visor above the drivers head.  many many wires.... very very small.... ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!     Yes, it actually works!    Notice the blue plug in the ribbon cable, this allows us to remove it without unsoldering all those wires again....  whew!!!!

We have a reputation for being able to REMOTE mount controls. In these pictures we are remote mounting an Alpine head units face in a Classic Automobiles sun visor with the main unit being tucked safely away under the seat, also a 12 disk changer in the car trunk. You can see the green sun visor in the first picture. The remote installation was possible using very flat computer ribbon cable.   We can remote mount almost anything.


Nice Car!     but we do see alot of nice cars in our shop!   If your looking for a DREAM JOB as an installer give us a call, we are always hiring!!! Isnt that the coolest thing you ever saw?????
An early 60s corvette, we do a lot of restored automobiles. In this one we installed a Panasonic AM FM CD player so we remote mounted the front of the radio on the fold down center console so we could leave the factory radio with original looks.....



A buncha woofers.... These are the MASSIVE Rockford PRO fifteen inchers.... TWELVE OF THEM!

Installer down in the compression chamber while building a bass system for TWELVE 15 inch woofers.


One of our simple installs
Some woofs in the back of a Suburban, above the woofs there are two amplifiers, voltage and aperage meters and a fuse block.


working on the console in the wood room. starting to take shape notice the LARGE drink holders.... 2 new cigarette lighter outlets.....  and the padded upholstery... in the car and lookin good!
We are building a Custom console for the Suburban including drink holders, lighter plugs for future accessories, and of course the head unit and processors... Also notice the Sony changer...See how good it looks when finished!  A console like this is only in the $500 range. Much better than the factory console!


a tougher to build custom console. gotta have a place to hide the toys!      .45 auto is the best. I often wonder why they make other guns... who needs em?
Custom Console for Toyota Landcruiser with hiding places for toys.



Simple amp rack in a Mercedes Benz


When Blake came to work for us he was amazed at how many porshes we do.   here is another one
We do a lot of Porsches! 


 the early days of building amp racks...  I think this picture was 1984
Some old photos, an amp rack with hinge at bottom that allows the rack to swing down to service wiring in the rear, there are two key locks at the top and a long piano hinge at the bottom! Also note the old ADS P100 amps along the bottom, these were some of the first real hi fidelity car amps.. also the Nakamichi PA300 amp and the ADS electronic crossovers.. behind the amp rack is the sub box...
this is so loud it will fry your hair off
This is an UNUSUAL tweeter installation, the tweet is a JBL bullet (forget the number) they rate it at 110Db 1w/1meter! Serious stuff in the dash of an Aerostar van!


its hard to find places to hide the amplifiers sometimes.
Autotek amp rack built in the side of a SUV, the amps won't show after the panel is re-installed.


cant do anything withut the proper tools and test equipment.
Audio Control 1/3 octave sound analyzer! Couldn't live without it.


YES, we install anything.
We installed a foldable camping tent from Australia on this Land Cruiser


2 6 inch mids and a tweeter in each door.
Custom door panels
the object was to make this into a media bus
believe it or not, a CITY BUS!



This installation is in a full size ford Pick Up Extended cab.
picture 1- Woofer enclosures for 4 Pioneer 12s were built to fit in the rear of the truck where the back seat was removed, customers wanted the box to be sturdy enough for people to sit on and to look like it came with the truck.
picture 2 - Amp rack above speaker enclosures and on back wall of truck just below the window has 4 Lanzar amps
picture 3 - View of enclosure with plexiglass window to allow a view of the woofers and slots below covered in grill cloth.
picture 4 - Very sturdy enclosure with amp rack above it
picture 5 - Close up detail of amp rack upholstery
picture 6 - Close up detail of enclosure with plex window and grill cloth slots. look close and you can see the back of one of the four Pioneer 12s, we were gonna put some lighting inside the box but the customer ran ot of money.... Maybe next paycheck...


another custom console....  we make a lot of these.....
This was a custom console built for a full size Ford Bronco the front and rear areas have electric tambor doors that open and close to allow access to the gear inside. The front compartment has a mobile phone mount and a TV monitor that hooks to the backup camera hidden in the spare tire mount. The rear compartment has the Sony CD Changer and EQ and another mobile phone and also a Cobra CB radio


very clean install in a Mercedes 190E very clean trunk in the mercedes 190E
Here is an installation in a Mercedes 190
There is an Alpine am fm cass indash and we modified the stock Becker mercedes radio so its old face can cover the Alpine radio and this install will look stock! There is an EQ in the ash tray, when closed it is undetectable, Bass control knob is in wood console Alpine alarm and cell phone. Trunk photos show 2 Kicker 10s and Alpine 6 disk changer with ADS amplifier flush mounted. The spare tire is easily reached as we built a custom hinged floor. Also built in hiding places and two sirens that are trunk mounted to deter theft ... The mercedes trunk unlock motor was disconnected and a new lock/unlock motor was installed and hooked to one of the alarm remote buttons.


gotta have test gear to do it right!   Check the other shops!!!! Most of those morons dont know how to use a volt meter...  ha ha ha   Take em apart so the system fits well.
To do truly Custom work, you must have the proper test equipment and not be afraid to completely disassemble a car!


YES, you need the hearing protectors for the SYSTEM and the shotgun!    This photo is of Eddies car in 1983 ...  One of the first cars with 15s I have ever seen
This was one of the systems in the old 1967 Camaro I used to drive back in 1982 though 1985. There are two 15 inch woofers, mounted in 3 cu ft. boxes. Primarily installed to DEBUNK the folks of that time period SUPPOSEDLY IN THE KNOW about speaker design, who told me 15s wont work in a car.... Damn, its a good thing we refused to listen to the so called "EXPERTS" of the day. Also notice the 4 12 inch woofers used for midbass, and the hearing protectors needed for testing the sound system OR shooting the 12guage Remington I always used to always carry with me.  

This car was a regular in the competition circuits back in 1983 to 1985...

 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

This is 2 15s in each door of this car, with 4 4inch mids above it... The 15s are extended range JBL PRO musician speakers primarily for mid and midbass.. What you cant see in this picture is the 4 18s that went behind the seats.

this car was believed to have a cancelation problem about 1000Hz, so we went crazy trying to beef up the MID RANGE using very serious FIFTEEN INCH midrange drivers.... JBL E130s   no more problem at 1000Hz... ha ha ha

 In this photo we are in the process of rebuilding the door, we did it with Vinyl and ABS plastic.. It looked pretty slick, we had to change the mounting of the door opener handle. Door is reinforced with 2x4s and 3/4 inch plywood.  The windows would NO longer roll down....

If you can imagine it, we can install it for you.

Here is the box from hell! This box was for 4 18s and we didn't want any sidewall flex! Have you ever seen a box with so many braces? And this box was built IN THE CAR!

Have you heard about bracing a box??  Well this is BRACING!   This box was for 4 eighteens.


JBL amps and Xovers  along with 15 inch woofers in an RX-7
Picture one is 2 Kicker 15s and a couple of JBL amps and electronic xover mounted in the middle.

After you look at these great photos we have lots more install photos
