2004 Subaru WRX STI - Cartronics


by CAE, Jan 01, 2008

Cartronics says every cable in the WRX-Stinger Pro Series 12-gauge for audio, Stinger Helix Series for RCAs and Stinger Custom Pro for power and ground-is zip-tied at 4" intervals. All wire labels face the same direction, and all wires lay flat, with no twists-details critical in 2007 IASCA judging.


Cartronics paid particular attention to the ambience of the environment-that is, they deadened the hell out of this notoriously noisy car with Dynamat Extreme. With three layers on the roof, two on the floor pan, firewall and trunk lid, no part of the car is covered with less than two layers. Keeping the trunk lid raised requires the use of gas struts. "It's definitely quieter than a Mercedes," Dalsgaard says.

Sharing rear deck space with the dual 12" subs are Premier TS-C520PRS 5.25" components, each mounted in a fiberglass enclosure.


A Premier DEH-P880PRS head unit flush-mounted in a double-DIN opening generates signal, which feeds into a DEQ-P8000 5.1 processor. The processor offers the control Dalsgaard needs for his 5.1 system and also allows him to keep the signal digital via the DVD changer.
