Kirsten writes about her SQ built audio system S40; The first modification I did was to put an aftermarket spoiler on it, and then the 'modification bug' hit with the help of my boyfriend. I won a car audio prize through Hot4s Magazine in 2001, where I got to choose $2500 of Sony Xplod car audio equipment of my choice.  This enabled me to get the Sony ABP CD tuner, two 2ch amps (2x150RMS) and 10 disc
stacker.  My boyfriend then gave me the 12" Sony sub pictured for my birthday, and then it was sometime later before we got the installation going.		  
       
    Here is the list of audio gear in the car now: (updated 9.08.2003)

Nakamichi CD-400
Dynaudio 240GT 7" splits under factory grills
Factory rear fill
Dynamat Extreme on front doors
Fischer CD holder
Two 2ch Sony amps (1 bridged for sub, the other running left and right front
speakers)
One 12" Sony sub in ported enclosure, falsefloored with the amps (which are
under perspex)
Kicker Solobaric grill
Lightning Audio 1-Farad Cap
Custom cable
Red neons
6 blue neons (2 above pedals, 2 under front and back of front seats)
Momo Tuning Carbon Grey pedals
       
    In April we had a big car show over here, and my car was entered in the sound off competitions.  As the car is a SQ car, I didn't plan on going into SPL until after the SQ comp (in which I came 3rd in the 301-600W class) the judges told me I could do pretty good in SPL too.  Well how does 137.4dB sound from one 12" in a sedan tuned for SQ!!

The purple airbrushed flame you see was put on the day before the show as nothing had been done much to the exterior of the car.  Now everyone in Perth recognises my car from the graphic!! Just recently I had the Honda S2000 starting system installed, and I'm waiting for my woodgrain Momo gear knob to arrive.
       
    Future mods: 18" wheels, engine mods / turbo, more audio gear.

Hope this is all the info you need.
