1989 Jetta Demonstration Vehicle

Demonstration Vehicle

The following pictures are views of a 1989 Volkswagen Jetta that had a superb sound and remote start/security system installed by the March/April 2001 class of Ritop students.

A Nakamichi  45z AM/FM/CD receiver was installed in the dashboard, the doors have Infinity 505cs component speakers, the rear deck has a pair of Nakamichi SP200 speakers and a JL Audio 10" subwoofer was installed in a custom box mounted in the trunk.

A US Acoustics USX4085 and two JBL P2040 amplifiers power the system.

A Clifford Solaris security system protects the vehicle and provides remote starting ability.

The staff and students of The Ritop School wish to thank Infinity, JBL and JL Audio, US Acoustics for their donations of equipment to the school. The car is used to demonstrate the skills our students learn at The Ritop School for Mobile Electronics.

Please contact Ritop to view the vehicle or to have a demonstration of the sound system.
