Not sure if this has been posted before, but wow.....

Might be overkill?

If he enjoys it, let it be. However, it would not be my choice on ways to modify a 914. That said, McIntosh equipment has always been the cream of the crop in my book.

Duplicate post.

His build is on here, I forget his screen name..

Not sure I would want to sit still long enough to listen. Cool factor is certain though.

Might be overkill?

Crank that up and you would certainly find out about any hidden rust.

Would expect huge current draw,silly really considering how big the 914 cabin is,each to his own however.
I have a 6 speaker sound system behind me .

The car is in the UK and belongs to @Rod

Before Rod and the audio installation I very very nearly bought this car.

Heres his build! Thanks for the reminder Stephen!

My ultimate 914 stereo:

Back when I was a teen, I had a Fiat X1/9 and did something similar (but not nearly as expensive). I have some hearing loss today as a result. I hope he doesn't actually play it loud while driving.

My kids '82 audi coupe came with a stereo like that, no mac stuff but 3 amps, crossovers, EQ, caps, fan, 18 speakers, extra gel cell battery, isolator, HD alt and wiring.
All '90's stuff, we figure $8 to 10K.

Ha. hi, just spotted this. Yes that’s mine, yes it’s overkill, but hey, you live once! It mixes my three favourite things..

914’s, fabrication, and listening to music. So what’s not to like.

Young: you must blast your tunes loudly.
Later: Yeah I want to listen but balance.
OLD: Listen to the car!

Ugh. get a honda with a stereo if you want music while driving. That's not what this car is about.

Rubbish. The car is about whatever you want it to be about. Why should we all adhere to the same rules.

The music is behind you not in your dash

Yes

Whaaat?? (as in hearing damage)

Absolutely Rod, each to their own. It's a cracking car!

Having been for a short ride in the car with music on the clarity of the music was fantastic and you could still enjoy the sound of the Triad exhaust. What's not to like!

This car had an Alpine head unit, two 200 watt amps and six speakers with crossovers.
I loved it as it was like sitting inside giant headphones.

Of course I have nothing but Klipsch in the house

The car pictured must have some sweet sound.

30 years ago I had a nice low watt budget system that sounded pretty good. The front end was an Alpine cassette that went into an Alphasonic EQ, to a 50 watt amp to a pair of Minimus 7 speakers mounted on brackets in the stock location. The small tuned enclosures really helped, as did the EQ. I got lucky on the EQ as it just barely fit in the console, and had second inputs that I ended up using for my (at the time) new Sony portable CD player (pre-Walkman).

I always liked having an EQ in a 914 because when you took the roof off, the sound changes so much.
