William has done several installs for me, and wanted to show off his new brand of gear: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hertzaudiovideo.com\/default_en.htm\" title=\"Hertz Audio\">Hertz<\/a>. He took detailed photos of his whole install process, so I&#8217;ll show off some of his work across a few blog entries over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I gave William two requirements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The system couldn&#8217;t cut any wires to install. I wanted to be able to return it completely to stock for resale.<\/li>\n<li>The sub and amp had to be removable for track use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>William did that, and added one of his own: when the sub and amp are removed, the system still plays! He put audiophile relays in all the speakers and connected both to the big Hertz amp and to the head unit: a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pioneerelectronics.com\/PUSA\/Products\/CarAudioVideo\/In-Dash\/GPS-Navigation-Systems\/AVIC-Z110BT\" title=\"Pioneer Headunit\">Pioneer AVIC Z110BT<\/a>. The sub and amp are removable with two mil-spec connectors and two nuts. They float in the back of the car: that is to say: they don&#8217;t touch the carpet. So when you remove them, there&#8217;s no matted down carpet.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, William and his shop did a fantastic job with the install.
