Hey guys.

I picked up a 05 cgt a month and a half or so ago. I been cruising 6speed for info and have already updated the keys and added the dice duo with the Bluetooth receiver. Both ideas I got off here just cruising through the posts. Anyway like I said its an 05 dark saphire with saffron & nautic blue interior. Im a "custom" car guy so I can't wait to get into it and do some work. I'm looking to start with an audio system but when I look around for ideas I don't see many. If anyone has done a nice system in there's please post some pics. I'm looking to upgrade everything but retain the factory navi/source unit.

Agree pics please. As for audio system, many great products out there. Some just add a nice subwoofer... or do you mean new amps and drivers.... or more?

Well my thoughts for the system are Jl audio c570 components is the doors. 2 JL 10w6's in the truck. New amps. Either JL or Zapco and I would use the JL clean sweep cl441dsp to integrate the oe source unit. But I want the install to be super clean and the trunk to be a work of art. Still thinking about what I wanna do tho. I'm still up in the air.

Wow, sounds like it would be an impressive system. Obviously you'll need a top quality installer for the project who knows Bentley cars. Not sure who to suggest on the East coast.

If Enjoythemusic likes the system it must be good. Congrats on the new car, enjoy.

I'm an x installer myself but I've always been impressed with the work of star motoring in englewood New Jersey. The work is second to none and they're always working on high end cars. I remember visiting his shop when it was audiocraft on rt46 in Lodi and they were always putting out some of the cleanest work I've ever seen. I was in high school at the time. That was over 15 years ago lol. Check out there site starmotoring.com I'm gonna go there next week and talk to them and see what we can put together. I'm sure it will be sick. Anyone deal with them at all??? It's been a while since I've spoke to the guys there.

Yours is the same colour as my first 06 CGT, though I see you have chromed wheels. I never stop being impressed with these magnificent machines... hope you have a lot of fun with yours!

Thebuonone... There's a place called MACaudio on Staten Island that does some really nice work. At least they did when I lived there. Still owned by the same guy and his work was always top notch. OR if I were u I'd check out the other shop I was talking about. Star motoring in NJ. That's hands down the best shop on the east coast in my opinion. If you do some research on them there was a Cadillac escalade they did with a rolls Royce phantom front end. Check it out & look at the interior work it's second to none. I saw that truck while they were building it and it gorgeous. Not really a fan of the phantom front end but the rest of the work is crazy perfect. Lemme know if either of those guys meet your criteria I'm sure you'll be impressed with what you see .

If you are looking for an installer who knows his way around a Bentley try Gus at Technik1 in manhattan. He is a sponsor on 6speed. He did custom work on my Bentley and I was very satisfied.
