pass seat was taken out to ease wiring/install.. you know.. the RIGHT way to do it...back seat was taken out as well....
CH's and console need to be cleaned...this is the LAST pro-copper I ever get...the original one I had was all metal,solidly constructed,this thing is a plastic POS... I shoulda listened to you guys...
anyway... all wiring is gonna be hidden when I'm done (obviously), I'm gonna have a new dash trim piece with no holes, and all microphones will be mounted on the console and not on the dash...the radio was moved down there to be more visible during the day.. and easier to reach..and "just to be different"(it plays MP3's WOOHOO) .. the AC controls were moved up where the radio used to be...and since they're both about the same size,they fit perfectly in each others spot..
so.. I got to... clean..wire/rewire..tidy up...reinstall seat...
from top->bottom
-> Code3 Mastercom,all functions disabled when car is normally operating..wired through a 75 amp relay to ONLY be able to used when the vehicle is in park.. it IS a demo car, and thats the way I cover my @SS..you can't accuse me of anything if I can't turn them on.....new labels are being printed.. which is why it's currently blank...and missing a holder.. I took it off so I could trim them to the right size... it has NOT been secured yet,which is why it's leaning to one side.. that will be fixed(duh)
-> UHF-T band 480-512 High power (100W) A5 Spectra, no mic,and there won't be.. its for rx only..CH screws will be changed out for new ones,those old ones look sooo bad....it LOOKS like the A5 is sticking out..but it's really not.. it's flush..just the angle looks off...
-> SIREN DEK for VHF A9 Spectra
-> VHF A9 110W Spectra
-> DEK set up for direct ZONE access for VHF A9 Spectra
-> 110W LB X9K,need to add mic
and of course my trusty 490-512 mhz saber converted to a saber 1E. .(it needs a new zone switch)
Three speakers...two are mounted on the back of the console.facing up, and the other is under the dash....on the passenger side....
and as always... CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.. ideas.. hints .. tips.. tricks..whatever... are always welcome...
and YES I will be getting a better console.. F@$#(%&@$% pro-copper.....
edit: I DO have the arm rest, it's just NOT on because I'm using it as a convenient stash for my tools while I'm wiring everything up.. pics will be updated when I'm finished.
