Cadillac CTV Build at NVS AUDIO

For this Build we started off with a aggressive concave set of Luxury XO Miami wheels in a 20x10.5 Brushed black finish.
One of the reasons for choosing this wheel was to show off the factory 8 piston brake calipers.
The wheels where then shipped off to Need Powder coating ,
where Billy and his team powder coated the wheels a nice red candy to match the car's exterior.
He then re-cut the machined face of the wheel to give it a nice contrast.
 
 
 
 
 
 




 
Next up is widening the rear quarter panels and reshaping the flairs to tuck the rear wheels in nicely and a lowered stance all the way around.
 
For audio we turned to Hertz and Audison.
We kept the factory Cadillac motorized 8 inch navigation dvd headunit and fed it's signal into a Audison bit ten d processor.  The customer was not happy with the speed of the factory head unit or its user interface so he has us integrate his ipad mini into the center arm rest and feed that signal into the bit ten as well. We installed a interface that allows video from the ipad to be displayed on the fatory touch screen along with video feeds from the front and rear mounted cameras that he can bring up at anytime. We also added a Mito gentex mirror with a 3inch screen build in so that the back up camera would display on there when ever the motorized facirty screen was down as he was trying to park.
 
Signal from the Audison Bit ten D  then passes to a set of Hertz HDP amplifiers flush mounted in the rear trunk floor. The four channel powers a set of Hi Energy components active while the mono powers a single Hertz HI Energy 15 inch sub woofer vented through the rear deck. The factory subwoofer was removed from the rear deck and a custom insert was made to allow the bass into the car with out rattle.
Audison connection power ground and signal cable was used throughout the entire install.
Stp sound proofing was applied to all bare metal surfaces.
The cars is protected by a viper 2 way color LCD alarm system and smart start smart phone link with GPS tracking. To make sure that the V would not be touched a police siren was added to the alarm system.
 
Future upgrade plan include :
Audison Voce amplifiers
with Bit In
Full D/A digital audio
Stage 2 horse power upgrade
Custom Exhaust system
