"SoCal" cruising is just as much of a Southern California institution as Al & Ed's Autosound. "We took an off-the-showroom-floor PT Cruiser and transformed it into the quintessential cruising machine," said Gabi Mashal, president of Al & Ed's Autosound when asked to describe the $35,000 souped-up PT Cruiser. "Our installation experts gave it a major overhaul creating a new personality that simply rages."
Al & Ed's installers started with a new coat of interior and exterior paint, and added custom accents to the dash, door panels, and a custom enclosure that houses a rocking amplifier and booming subwoofer.
EXTREME Audio and Video systems were installed, starting with a brand new Alpine IVAD 900, Alpine's newest and sharpest in-dash DVD player with a fold out 7.0" high-resolution monitor and an Alpine XM satellite radio receiver. So as not to leave out passengers, a rear seat entertainment system consisting of two Alpine 5.8" headrest monitors were added. New Type R Alpine speakers were installed; 6.5" components in the front and 5x7" speakers in the back, and an Alpine Type R 12" subwoofer in the trunk providing the bass. A powerful 5 channel Alpine amplifier provides the power for the new system.
To add finishing touches, the Al & Ed's installation team added several APC components, including rims, tail lights, chrome mirrors, chrome A/C vents, and a new Billet Grill.
