360/430 Upgrades Ferrari's lack a sound sound system that can, in strict audio terms, be referred as a quality system. Granted the engine sounds are intoxicating, however, it also makes sense to have a high quality sound system to complement driving enjoyment.

In furtherance of that concept, we have applied our extensive audio experience to an advanced Ferrari audio system design, and we have put together a very fine replacement sound system that will seemlessly integrate into the OEM locations while providing exceptional sound quality.

Our high end sound system offers the detail and smoothness one would expect from a high end home audio system. The drivers and the equipment associated with the system are what one would expect Ferrari to have included with the car but has failed to do so.

Our system seemlessly interfaces with the existing OEM Becker radio/CD changer leaving the user the option to make that change if preferred.

System installation is quite straightforward and very simplified. Our replacement drivers when installed are not recognizable as other than OEM!

For the 360 and 430 models we provide a replacement plastic door tweeter piece. This replacement piece will have the tweeter and its crossover network mounted within it, and the tweeter is properly directed towards the listeners for optimum upper mid-range and high frequency sensation.

In addition the tweeter housing has a wire lead with a snap-on connector  to connect to the OEM door plug.  No changes are required in any way. The drivers and components of our new system offer exceptional mechanical properties and detailed sonic characteristics. They are specially manufactured for us under our established and trusted Dynamic Acoustics™ brand name. You can, therefore, be assured that you are purchasing a very well engineered and very high quality audio system for your Ferrari.

The 360 and 430 replacement audio system detail is as follows:

DOOR SPEAKERS

WOOFERS

The woofer design employs our fantastic Dynamic Acoustics&trade Dynam Series™ DAW-6520 6 1/2" ribbed polycone rubber surround driver with a massive 2"voice coil.

Despite the large voice coil, these drivers are very efficient (89 dB) and produce excellent natural upper mid-range tonal quality. They can easily handle 200 watts RMS  of  power.

Bass reproduction is exceptionally deep, detailed,  and natural without overwhelming the listener. They are ideally suited to the Ferrari cabin interior.


DAW-6520 Woofer DAW-6520 Woofer Rear

These directly replace the existing OEM door units, and their depth is set to replace those factory drivers without any cutting or modification to the door panels. They measure about 2.75" in total depth.

They provide a dramatic improvement in sound quality and audio presence over the factory Ferrari drivers.

The crossover networks are attached to the drivers to facilitate installation, and each driver has the necessary wire lead with a snap-on connector that slides into the OEM connector. Installation is straightforward. No cutting, soldering, or re-wiring is necessary

The original factory door grilles are reused in a most clever manner, and, as a result, the repacement is fully transparent and appears to be OEM.

We provide full instructions and all the necessary parts.

This is a simple job which yields fantastic results.

TWEETERS:

Our DAT-1 tweeter is a very refined 1.1" (28 mm) coated fabric dome design that is very efficient and which exhibits very smooth and extended high frequency characteristics.

DAT-1 Tweeter The poor quality factory tweeter as furnished with the 360 and 430 factory audio systems is mounted behind the trim plastic piece on the upper front portions of each of the doors.

We replace that entire plastic tweeter door housing with our new design which seemlessly interfaces with the OEM mounts. An OEM connector is supplied attached to the tweeter which effortlessly slips into the OEM connector in the door! It could not be easier to do! No cutting or soldering required.

The size of  wiring Ferrari has used to the door speakers is adequate for connection to our replacement drivers. So this makes the exchange of the factory drivers with ours very simplified. No rewiring is required!

Precise sonic control of the door drivers is by way of our Dynamic Acoustics™ very precisely-calculated 12 dB/Octave crossover that is built into each driver.

The network coils are precisely would air core designs to preclude saturation, and the capacitors are of very tight tolerance film construction.

This is a very refined sound system that offers substantial detail which will enhance the vehicle's enjoyment.

SUBWOOFER:

This is presently undergoing a complete study as to its need, and if considered as necessary it will be completely redesigned from our earlier concept.

AMPLIFICATION:

While the above system is efficient and will work well with the OEM Becker radio's output power, the system's output can be greatly enhanced by use a good quality two channel amplifier.

INSTALLATION RELATED ITEMS:

We will provide all required wiring, connectors, and instructions with full installation details. We will give you the color codes for the OEM speaker wires from the existing radio plug if required Phone support will certainly be available to purchasers of our systems.

FERRARI RADIO AMPLIFIER PLUG-100:

The connector and cable set pictured below is one of the connectors that we offer. This plugs into the Becker Ferrari radio to get the required amplifier low level outputs from the OEM radio. No changes, cutting, soldering, or the like are required.

Simply remove the existing blank yellow plug from the top rear of the radio and then plug this directly into the unit. This will then yield RCA low level amplifier outputs for two amplifiers along with an amplifier turn-on circuit! Our design will use only one pair of these RCA connectors as there is no rear speaker set-up in the Ferrari requiring a fader control.

FRAP-100 Ferrari Radio Amp Plug

FRAP-100 NOTE:

This plug is an exact replacement that snaps into the factory Ferrari radio, and no changes to the radio are required for its precise fit.

We have the OEM radio wiring diagram as a.pdf file that we can send to any of our buyers.

FERRARI SPEAKER AMPLIFIER PLUG-100:

To further facilitate PlugNPlay simplicity of installation we offer apre-made cable assembly consisting of a male plug connector with 4' of color-coded cabling .

The Ferrari speaker wire connector on the rear of the OEM Becker radio that connects to the vehicle chassis wiring harness is then removed from the rear of the radio and is plugged directly into our FRSP-100!

This then allows one to use the existing factory speaker wiring to the doors without any modifications, cutting, soldering, or crimping of the wires from the radio!

The FRSP-100 has 4' of color coded wire leads that would connect to a small amplifier as an option to power our speaker system if desired.

We have greatly simplified the entire change over to a more advanced audio system for the 360 and 430 Ferrari's by means of our clever designs.

Nothing could be easier to achieve a very advanced and refined audio system.

DESIGN PARAMETERS:

Our background in the audio business started more than 40 years ago. We have extensive experience and abilities in this field, and we have previously provided audio products that have established themselves as outstanding. This Ferrari sound system will follow our established history.
