INTERIOR [styling & usability]
The interior of this 2002 Z71 Tahoe
was the first area to "go under the knife."
The truck was ordered with graphite interior with the
intention of adding a carbon fiber styling througout.
This dark interior was choosen to compliment the carbon
fiber. The stock gauge cluster seemed to lack the flash
that this truck would eventually personify, so it was
replaced with a new Cadillac Escalade cluster. To keep
the carpet as clean as the exterior of this truck, all
the stock floor mats were replaced with Catchall floormats
and a Husky liner in the rear. A couple precautionary
modifications were made to keep driving as safe as possible.
A set of Razo racing pedals were installed to keep this
beast under control at all times.
[audio]
The stock stereo system was next to go. All the componenets
selected were choosen to be used daily, not on a show
only vehicle, so interior space was a big consideration.
For a little bass a JL Audio 10w3-D4 was installed in
|
place
of the factory subwoofer in a custom carbon fiber sub-enclosure.
The sub is powered by a Rockford
Fosgate Punch 360.2. The mids/highs were all replaced
by MB Quart, with 6.5" componenets in the front
doors and coaxials in the
rear doors. All the MB Quart speakers are powered by
a huge Rockford Fosgate Punch 800.4. With the addition
of these two amps pulling a good deal of power off the
factory charging system, a 1 farad capacitor was necessary
to keep the voltage drops and spikes in check.
[visual]
The
center piece of the system is the Pioneer AVX-P7300dvd
and AVM-P8000r. This unit is a 7" motorized flip
out display that can play and displya DVDs.
A 12 disc changer was also installed and mounted in
the glove box for easy access. The Headunit/Brain combo
was choosen for it's expandability. It is very easy
to connect headrest/flip down monitors, rear view cameras,
video game consoles or anything else you can dream up!
