This Corvette installation represents a trademark
competition system created by the Earmark Plano Store. The dominant
theme is the interior enclosures, trim panels, and facades that
are finished in matching high gloss auto body paint. This particular
type of finish allows for radical three-dimensional shapes.
The only limit is your imagination. The visual presentation
in person is far more striking than any of these photos can
capture.
This process begins with an intricate wood skeleton that provides
the structural foundation in the basic shape. The next phase
is a fiberglass cloth shell in the final form. Fiberglass combines
lightweight and considerable strength. The fiberglass shell
is then covered in a thin polyurethane skin that serves to smooth
all surface irregularities. Finally, a matching exterior automotive
paint finish and clear coat give a deep, gloss appearance. These
shiny panels are an Earmark specialty that can be applied to
any system design. We can follow the exterior color scheme or
add colors ranging from pastels to neon, as well as from metallics
to flames. |

The wireless F#1 remote control allows the driver to keep
his eyes on the road while selecting and adjusting audio/video
functions.

The custom dash trim panel houses an Alpine 7-inch wide screen
motorized monitor, an Alpine AM/FM CD player, and an Alpine
F#1 Processor. The F#1 Status Processor is the heart of this
system. It controls crossover, equalization, phase, time alignment
and every aspect of tuning the perfect system. This is truly
the best that is available today. |

Each sun visor features an Alpine 7-iinch LCD
monitor. |

 |
 The
kick panel pods contain a DynAudio 7-inch mid-bass driver
and a 3-inch dome mid-range. The DynAudio tweeters are flushed
into the windshield pillars.

 |
Each door contains a 10-inch subwoofer. A glossy trim panel
contains the Alpine logo backlit by neon.
|
 |
 |
Moving to the rear, the behind-the-seat enclosure contains
two Alpine cast-frame subs, two DynAudio 5-inch mid-ranges and
two DynAudio 1-inch tweeters. The rear center console also contains
an Alpine DVD changer, Alpine HiFi VCR, and the main processor
brain from Alpine's F#1 Status. |

 |
Moving to the trunk, we installed five Alpine
amplifiers. Behind the scene, each amplifier has its own tray,
which provides for physical mounting and wire routing. Each
amplifier is capped by two pieces of plexiglass transducers
that are edge lit by blue neon. The five amplifiers are enveloped
by a glossy black facade. On the interior of the rear wall of
the trunk, are the various fuse and power distribution blocks.
Other hidden panels allow easy access and service. |

A chromed high-output alternator and gellcell
battery rev up a bank of stiffering capacitors. The dynamic
power is well in excess of two thousand watts. |
This Corvette has collected many awards for
being the best in installation including dozens of first place
trophies and numerous "Best of Show" awards.
There's much more to this system than
meets the eye. Stop by the Earmark Plano Store to see the
detailed construction photos that catalog the entire process.
