Got money to spend on an audio upgrade?
No matter how outrageous your setup or plans are, someone is going to outdo you. 3.9kWatts if you don’t mind. A guy in Austria sort of reconstructed his rig. Speakers suspended in bronze castings, all hollow spaces reinforced and dampened. The text is in German but the 2 sets of photos do speak for themselves. I’m pretty sure the light show can be switched off.

Talking about passion for what you do and obsession with quality sound 
Recently i drove in a friend's truck that upgraded his sound system as well and it made me appreciate it! He had a good point - we spend plenty of time travelling in our cars, might as well have some good sound

I think that the most amazing part of that was your ability to completely disassemble and reassemble a Mercedes door panel.
Doorpanels like those I buildet very often. Look here....

Perfection to the point of obsession... I can imagine you do not aspire a serial production, but I would assume that many R230 owners would be eager to buy A-pillar or mirror triangle tweeter housings for their R230. I would (and I am tedious about keeping the car stock). Is serial production in what you do efficient at all?

My most installations are in Factory. I make nothing in Serial - I am a Oneman Company since 30Years.
