Not only does this Aston Martin have an incredible audio system it also has a “ticket avoidance system”
The first thing we installed in this car was the Escort SRX radar detector with front and rear laser defusers. This ticket avoidance system really works. It gives you pleanty of warning of radar ahead or behind you while “defusing” laser guns. If you want to reduce your chances of getting a speeding ticket this is the system for you.
While this AMV8 is a wonderful car like all Aston Martin’s the sound system is below average. Here is what we did to fix the audio problem.
Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2 processor with 153 bands of equalization, time alignment and an independent subwoofer control knob. After we install this device and hook it up to our laptop via bluetooth we can control and tune each speaker in the car independently. The bass knob was installed inside the center console area.
The factory door speakers are a 4″ and tweeter. We installed Focal Utopia Be Kit No.7 three way component speakers we installed in the doors. By adding the third speaker (6.5″ mid bass) the sound improvement was huge.
Using the rear compartment area behind the seats we fabricated custom subwoofer enclosures for two Pioneer 8″ slim woofers. We used Aston Martin leather to wrap the enclosures.
To power the system we installed two Alpine PDX series amplifiers totalling over 1600 watts of power.
Now this car sounds amazing while its looks like it came from the factory like this!
