Hello again friends
It's that time again, another build log from the notorious not gonna finish it - chithead. Let's start with some pictures of the car first:
And the heart of the whole install, or beast of it all - the infamous UConnect 8.4a:
Knew right away, that has to stay. It controls too many parts of the car, to even consider replacing. So, how do we work with it? Have read some pretty poor reviews where others have tried to grab signal, noise afterwards, etc... but what the heck. Have to hold some glimmer of hope, there has to be a way to work with it, right?
My first thoughts were of course, which processor, what amps? Lightbulb. Already have a trio of Zapco DC amps collecting dust. Might as well put them to good use. Not really wanting to go with a bazillion watt setup right now anyways, so these should be perfect. But, there is a problem... the logos are green! And I don't mean neon, or grass, or swampwater green, nooooooo. It's sage/hunter/winter/chicken/baby poop green!
First thing first. That has to go. Amps are black... logos are green... car is white with blacktop package... lots of black accents on white car... black amps... white logos? Yeah!
Nooooooooo... that has to go!
