Dude has had previous work done to the vehicle and decided he wanted more work done to it.
He took it to the shop and told them what he was looking for. They showed him the Audi build and mentioned doing something like that (24 in the floor).
The shop contacted me, we talked, then the owner of the vehicle contacted me and we talked.
Owner decided the best course of action was to have me do it.
Here’s the patient. Murdered out AWD with an EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 that’s currently around 450hp.
First step was pulling the door cards and seeing what the existing work looked like.
The door cards were heavy when I removed them. The driver’s side weighed 18.4lbs.
I looked at the tweeter install because our discussion was about possibly putting his 3” mids there, and noticed a missing fastener. Not a big deal, but an observation.
The inner door skin had a mix of Stinger Roadkill Expert and SoundShield. If you guys followed the Audi build log you know I’m not a fan of the 3-in-1 products. This is a 3-in-1 product.
You can also see his Morel 6 1/2” driver and a Fast ring around it. I’m also not a fan of the Fast rings because they’re open cell foam and allow air to pass through them vs forcing it into the listening space.
Removal of the SoundShield is insanely easy.
Completely stripped of SoundShield. Did this one-handed while on the phone with the owner.
Will update as I make progress.
