Hey morphenspectra,
Is there any way that you can combine this:
With this:
Maybe mount the sub on the side. I love bass, but I also really love the center console. If they were together it would be awesome!
-Chris
I'd be in for a center console with the guages and a subwoofer out the side...
Would the magnet of the sub have any effect on the gauges?
I agree with Ken. I think I would buy the sport console w/SUB if it worked out. Don't even need the guages.
I'd hate to trash the original console I have now but would love the BASS.
i recently purchased a pair of speaker pods that came loaded with blaupunkt speakers. they look great, and i can actually hear the music. even with the top off. a quality product that i highly recomend. nice work james.
kevin
Pictures from a stereo install I did for a customer. The only 914 Appearance and Performance parts are the speaker pods. The center console is stock 914.
I received my console with the custom sub and it looks great. I will have a amp hooked up within the next week. Installation however appears to be a little tough. There is no top mounting bracket like the factory unit so how did you install it for your customers?
Center console is stock 914.
I have the aftermarket console with the sub installed, IT SOUNDS GREAT. I installed it today along with a nice 4 Channel amp. I also bought the aftermarket kicker panel speaker "pods" and together the sound is wonderful. Make sure the amp you get is adjustable and when they tune the system you won't beleive it. Pics coming soon.
Can you post a pic of the black carpet set and tan carpet set installed.
Ken,
Where did you mount your AMP?
Here comes some pics ( I hope)

Ok, My battery is in the front trunk so installing the amp was a piece of cake. Make sure you leave enoughtwire so you can remove the board to get your spare out.
So helpful notes for the future. 1) Install the unit from the pass side after removing the knee pad. 2) Unscrew the guage panel section, use velcro or leave as is so you can get to the wiring. The knee pad holds that piece nice and tight. There is a mounting bracket offered by the sell that fits perfect. Without taking the front guage panel of you have no chance of installing the unit (with the sub in) Did I say the sub sounds GREAT.

Hey James have you addressed creating your consoles with the insert board (the one the shift lever passes thru) to fit the Rennshifter?
I ask cuz I got one and its prolly gunna have to fit.
Also looking at the Pics of the "sport" console it appears to be fitted with Two guages/holes? Is it setup for the third just not cut out?
Im excited to install this setup.
I got one for ya, could you possibly manufacture a 911 style door pocket? They used to be manufactured, but have since stoped. I tried to modify a regular 911 pocket, but gave up as it was way too much work. As if it would have <_<

Any idea on price on those door pockets? I'd definatly go for a pair if the price was reasonable. I hate the stock door pockets/panels.
And any price on the carb tops?
I would deffinetly want a set. Getty used to make them, but they stopped.

do they require any special mounting hardware (like rubber spacers)? or do you just drill holes and mount them? how do i keep them from cracking etc?
got my gloss black ones. they are superb!
Aaron, post some pics!
James,
Since you make carpet kits for both the interior and the
trunk floors, have you ever considered a carpet kit to do the entire trunks like the 916s were done?
You could offer the pre-cut peices in either charcoal or black to match you other kits.
Possible??
Morphenspectra:
I want to buy to speaker boards (the speaker holders that hold the round speakers) with no speakers, just the holders. Please tell me how you want to do the transaction. I can pay you via paypal immediantly if that it convienant for you.
Please email me, dcicchetto914@yahoo.com with a total price and tranaction info
Thanks,

James,
Thanks for my new speaker pods, they're great! i told the girlfriend about them and she got them for me for X-mas. I have one question, though. Do you have any silver speaker rings for your speakers? They were offered with them from the dealer, so I was wondering if you had a set that I could trade out.
Thanks again man,
Mike
Eh, its all good. If I really want to do it I can paint. My girlfriend was insistant on my leaving public positive feed back for you (as if i wasn't gonna already). She was very pleased with the transaction.
James,
Thanks for the great products...finished with installing my new system...apline stereo, alpine amp 350w, alpine 6.5" speakers, and a 8" polk audio dual voice coil sub. I cut a hole in my factory console(painful) and installed the sub. I re-enforced the console with hardboard and lined everysurface with dynamat. also installed wedges behind guage panel so that no air can escape from sub box. Looks and sounds awesome.
Check it out!!!
Thanks,
Drue

James, how about making some enclosed speaker pods? Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to mold a rear piece that can be epoxied to the piece you sell now. I would also like to see them 1.5 times as thick. Whatcha think?
I second that. I'd like to see an enclosed pod. I was thinking of doing one in wood, but if you can do it in fiberglass...that'd be even better

That is beautiful work. Makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing by going to a black interior! What color car is that going into?
It's going into a black car, with black seats and carpet. Currently the interior has a tan firewall, that is soon to be replaced with black carpet also.
Thanks James.
Hey James,
What do you think about a center console with a small 6.5" LCD headrest monitor on the front and a sub in the side???? (when you get back in march of course)
Ford.
James-
For all those who wanted to see the interior installed, here it is. It uses your door panels (great fit, really nice job) and console with sub; also the center cushion you made to match and the firewall carpet kit. The carpet and the Sparcos are black; the rest is beige trimmed in black. Believe it or not, the CAR is actually finished (um, until I replace the dash itself... well, and the rockers)
Let me know when the door pockets are available. Thanks for all.
Best, LP

So if you ordered from us, your stuff will be shipped before we start or R&D vacation. HIEDI |
Here is my shameless ass-kissing for the day...
I received the door panels today and am BLOWN AWAY by the quality. I was expecting nice, and got OUTSTANDING. I can't imagine why anyone would waste the time/energy on anything BUT these. If you are going to replace your door panels, BUY THESE! Well worth the price, and they'll NEVER get soaked and musty. The glasswork is clean, and the upolstry is quality stuff. I can hardly wait to finish the interior now.
Thanks for the fantastic product. I'm available for a referance if you ever need one.

I always wanted to put a stereo in the top of the 'deposit box' console. I measured mine and don't think it'd fit. Is that sub console a little wider? Maybe I need to remeasure. Looks cool.
The other type console isn't wide enough to fit a stereo unit or dvd player.

oohhh noo, your costing me more $$$...
What size sub did you manage and how $$. Son is going to want that..
i got a 8" to fit. ill have a price posted by fri(and a photo of the finished look).As far as sound,im confident i will get good sound.
james
damn your beating me to it. i've got a 8" in box that was going to mold a foot well box to put it in.
sooo.... how much?
Every time I see "morphenspectra has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "914 Appearance and Performance"." I KNOW it's going to cost me $100....
Well, I'd be interested, Make it removable.
lol
My sterio will be removable... (might look into removable stuff... Good for racers.. shead 50 lbs..)
sound testing went well,ok the good the bad the ugly.the volume was off for the 8 inch,but can be easily fixed.i fitted the box with a dual wond 6.5 and WOW, this is the best sounding box i have made for the 6.5 i couldnt believe how good it sounded.Did a volume check and found out i need to add some space to it for the 8,but luckly the volume for a 8" is about close to the volume for a 10" .but i will build two models one thats for the larger speakers & one thats for the 6.5.with the smaller of the two being more "stocksized".the prototype will go on e bay in a day or two. i will build two or three more of this type then change over to the model that dosent have the "ear"off to the side.and also start building the big box style,will post pictures of them when the molds are finished this upcoming week
Whats next?you ask, custom door panels,front rear bumpers,LE spoiler(that fits & looks right)bumpertops,carbonfiber,six aircleaners(rain hats),and injected plastics .we have alot more products to offer here at appearance & performance.

Hi,
I ordered one of the carpet sets ($175) from ebay on Friday January 20th that you make (charcoal loop). I have sent a message with the paypal purchase and 2 emails asking if I could buy a front and rear trunk charcoal perlon carpet kit as well. I would really like to support you...I've heard great things about your work, but I have recieved no responses to my inquiries. If you are not interested, I would appreciate a response so I could order elsewhere.
Thanks, Mark
i just looked to make sure,for some reason i have no e mails from you.sorry for any miss communication
i would be more than happy to sell you a set.
our direct e mail is hjhl@worldnet.att.net or you can call me directly at 503-551-6191.
Saw that you were making an offer for the AMCO center console that Kerry is selling. Are you going to make some of these? I would be interested in one if you decide to do that.
Thanks, Tom
yes we are going to reproduce that item.
We have been on the search for a better location for us to live as well for me to build a bigger shop.(could not build on the land we are on now )
well we finally found it.(and for a smokin price too)
no point in in creasing demad if you cannot keep up with it.
we obtained a two acre lot with a four bedroom with large shop areas with a two car garage for 129!yes 129500.00
we knew if we didnt not step up ,we was going to have problems with meeting demad.the old owner signed at title this morn.done deal.
hiedi is happy she gets a nicer house.im happy cause now i can do so much more. we will return to dismantleing 914s,and will also take in 911 as well (donors for teeners ) and also we will be putting out alot of parts we have been talking about in the past. some are ready to go.some will be first seen at the wcc06 in portland.so this is just a update.no we havent fell of the planet,just shifting gears to keep up with growth.

Congrats on buying a house! With a new house, you'll have even less time to spend on the 914s

When do I get to see the fiberglass bumper tops??
Glad to see you got the property you wanted. You make "killer parts"". I will definitely need some over the next couple of years for the -6 I am building. Keep up the good work.
When are you planning in breaking into the 911 market? Your work on 914 parts are nothing less than phenominal, and would be well received by the 911 group. Early door pockets (both types) 67 - 73 would be snapped up in a second if priced about half of the current going rate - $300 per piece. Your speaker set-up would also be ideal for 911s which lack the space and for people who do not want to cut up their interiors. Your consoles would also work nicely for 911s lacking a good subwoofer and the guage we all want but are missing - Volt. PS I just bought a 2.0 already equiped with your sub-console and front mount speakers and I am very impressed.
Rick
Hmmm ... I just checked your ebay store and could not find a listing for the side pods with the blaupunkt speakers. Just listings for the 3 piece kit (2 sides and the console/sub), the panels only(no speakers), and a cut it yourself kit with speakers. Is the finished version no longer available?

Hiedi wrights these for me and does not always wright it exactly the way i say things. we started using diamond punch vinyl for a period looking door panel. no 914 ever came with diamond punch vinyl.we now have the correct vinyl for all years made.although we do not use the leather crease vinyl for the 70-71 unless asked for.
70 -71 plain vinyl
72-74 basket weave
75,75 square basket weave
and i have done a entire interiors with diamond punch and it looked great. where they replaced all the correct weaves with diamond punch.

what does this mean to you .well it means some items will be more and some will cost less,(yes i said less)trimmed speaker panels uncut unpainted will only be 50.00.

being a build to order company all of those are sold and left today. there was a box in the shipping room with 12 more pairs in them. that are also gone with two extra pairs that are for display & photos for the web master that will get them for free for photographing them. you can get a pair of raw ones in a few weeks (un painted & uncut) if i have to cut them you might as well have me paint them cause any prep to the panel makes them 100.00. so if you do alittle work you save money . we will not be working again till wed and i only have three pairs of door panels to put out. then im off (yeah right) for a week.

Just to give props to James, his products AND his service...I was able to meet him in person at WCC in Portland and he is a helluva nice guy. He took the time to come look at my car and see how all the parts that I have purchased from him looked. He also made sure that I am 100% happy with his products(which I am) and looked for any feedback that I might have. Thanks again for the trunk carpet as well.
James can I get a charcol carpet sample? I sent a P.M. about a week or 2 ago but I think you were at WCC. Let me know if you didnt get it for my address.
Thanks
Tim
not a problem pm me with you what you have in mind and we can work out a price.
james

I just realized that our price list was very outdated. As far as consoles, they all have been discontinued. Emblem retainers and window cranks have also been discontinued. Dash gauge plates will also be discontinued, there is one left in our ebay store and when its gone there will be no more. We are making way for our new line of products. I'm sorry some products have gone up in price, as our prices have gone up multiple times over the last few years and it's something we just couldn't avoid.
Hiedi
Our website is now up.

Question, what's the best way to enlarge an existing speaker hole?
I am finally getting around to installing my speaker pods but need a larger diameter hole. Should I just use a hack-saw with a metal blade?
Thanks for suggestions.
there are many ways to do it but my fav is to use a jig saw with a fine metal blade.works rather well.dremel works too but alittle dusty.

Hey james, name's Steve!
pretty new to the forum and the 914 world alike and have seen your stuff on ebay, didn't know it was a forum member! i really love the pass floorboard sub boxes you got going!
I read through the thread and saw that you need a website, but it seems you have one up. I've done some custom web design work and some personal stuff. If you ever want/need a site makeover, let me know! Maybe we can trade for some parts or for fiberglassing lessons lol! ..or feel free to disregard all-together lol.

lol im a ok with the page but i do sometimes to trade for things i need

Hi. First and foremost I want to thank you for offering all of your really cool products for the 914! Gotta keep these cars going and you are to be commended.
I have a question about the front trunk kit. I want to buy a carpeted board so I can strap stuff to it with bungee cords and keep mine intact for posterity.
I see you have the two piece kit, board and carpet piece for 40 bucks. Then the description says the perlon kit is 40 and isn't bonded but won't fray.
Does that mean the carpeting is not bonded to the board (i.e. "bond it yourself")? Am I correct in assuming that 40 dollars gets you the piece of carpeting to line the back of the front trunk AND a board with carpeting glued to it?
Thanks for clarifying.
Paul
Hi:
Can you make some door panels to look like these but in leather? Thanks!
Stopped for a visit regarding James and Heidi 's thread. Always great to see great product and will be needing your parts during 2008. Got you listed as Preferred Seller status. Always impressed with the quality, timing, and development of each of your products. Please keep up the excellent work and quality.
Thanks

Due to the increases at the Post Office, our shipping procedures are changing. Since I'm finding myself eating a huge ammount of shipping to the east coast and midwest I am doing shipping quotes based on area code. I will be working this week to come up with shipping quotes for usps priority to all of their shipping zones. I will also be offering UPS Ground shipping as well to hopefully save some of you some dough. Anything that is less than 1 cubic foot in size will not be changing.

Just received a loop carpet set and some door clips from James & Hiedi. Can't say enough about their products and service. I had a special request and they went above and beyond what I needed at no extra charge. If you need anything they sell, do yourself a favor and buy from them.
Interested In the front trunk mats.....I have a 1976 914 and it has the opening for the fuel pump. Do you make one spacific to this year car??????? Thanks Jim
Just bought a set of the 914 speaker panels with the 90 watt Blaupunkt speakers. Looking forward to some good tunes!
Speakers arrived in today's mail. They look great and installation took about half an hour because I had to put new connectors on the old wires. They sound really good too.
interested in speakers ports, pm sent
Here is a prototype, we have a completed one in leather but didn't get any photoos before upholstery. Here is a photo of another being fitted to the factory center piece.

Hi James and Hiedi! I just bought one of the older style consoles like this:
I believe it was yours, it had never been installed (bought it from Ferg) I was just curious as to why it has 4 wires for speaker input? (sorry but I am an audio-idiot)? Thanks!
Eric
nice to see those consoles still around
that woofer has a dual coil,you pump right and left channels into one speaker.
bass is usually nondirectional and also uniformed in left and right channels( usually I said )
so you can run left and right channels into that speaker
to install that you need to remove your lower dash pad. then install the console then put your lowerdash pad back on.
james
Just found this thread about your products. Everything is very nice looking. I have one question about your carpet kits. I see you have black and charcol. Do you have tan, or can you get tan?
Thanks!
Jack
we only have tan in the plush carpet right now

This doesn't apply to ebay purchases and olny applies to our regular items that are listed on our website. I also updated our price list, I realized that things were not correctly priced. I am trying to get people to buy direct if possible since ebay fees are always increasing and putting financial strain on small internet businesses. There is also a $15 discount for some interior upholstery services (seats, dash, backpad)
do you have any pics of the sub box installed?
I just your bought ebay speakers with the charcoal perlon. Do you have the matching carpet for a 72?
Michael
yes we do!
and thank you for bidding on this item
please feel free to give me a call at 503-551-6191 9am-7pm
Sorry mate....
This is our new product that we are releasing today. I am pre-realeasing to club members and will post it on our website and ebay on Friday. Club members will get their usual 5% discount. Price is $99.95 (94.95 for club members) and $12.00 priority shipping.

Hi James,
What's the story with the back pads? Are these going to become available soon?
Thanks,
C:>
We haven't started actively advertising them yet. We do have them available and have sold a few. A core is still required and they are $600 with vinyl upholstery.
I read awhile back that you guys were working on fiberglass bumper tops. Did anything ever come of that? If not I am going to try to work on my own this winter, but if I can get a set for a reasonable price I would rather just buy a set.
I spent the week adding a shopping cart to our website. You can simply check out wtih the items of your choice and pay conveniently with paypal. If you don't have or use paypal then add the items to your cart, when you are done choose the "view cart" option at the bottom of the page, print it out and send your order via snail mail. I am still trying to find a way to add a coupon code so members can easily get their 5% discount. We have also added a Gift Certificate option for those of you who will be wanting those this year. We sell a few of them every year around christmas, so this will make it easier.

Thank you for your order. and after being asked uncountable times this summer by cutomers,yes we are still around and still producing products on a daily basis.

I've said before, and I'll say again... morph's stuff is top-notch! truly one of the best vendors around!
Just received my door panels today and they are better than I suspected. The fiberglass panels are very high quality and the upholstery is very well done.
Thanks James and Hiedi
I got my new RS door panels yesterday as well... just amazing, James even fixed them when I F'd up the first set and made them even better than before. I'll try to post pics tonight. they look amazing.
We have two new products that we introduced. The first is a 2 gauge subwoofer console that comes complete with 2 gauges and the senders. The second new product is basketweave seat cushion recover kit. They are currently listed on ebay and I will post lots of pics on Monday.
Since a common custom request for our sub console was to have 2 gauges added to the top and the sub mounted lower on the face we decided to offer it as one of our regular products. It comes complete with 2 nitrous gauges and senders. The sub is enclosed seperate from the gauges to make for easier acess to gauges and installation.
Attached thumbnail(s)
The seat cushion recover kit is the second new product. It is sewn with the factory basketweave for the cushions that were in the 72-74 cars. The basketweave has a thin layer of foam also sewn under the upholstery. The kit can take a little patience to install. The recover kit comes with both passenger and drivers side cushion covers.
Back by popular demand. We tried to discontinue this console but I recieved so many calls about this product that we decided to bring it back. This part has been improved over the original that I used to manufacture over 2 years ago. They come with or without gauges. It comes with or without a sub in the side as well. We are also offering this in two separate package deals. The first package deal is the Console/Cushion kit and the second is a console/sound kit. These consoles are Custom built units and hand made.
2009 Prices (subject to change without notice)
Console with no sub and no gauges $150 ($22 S&H)
Console with sub and no gauges $175 ($28 S&H)
Console with Voltmeter & Oil Pressure gauges and senders. No Sub $200 ($25 S&H)

Just ordered carpet and rain hats....Can't wait!!
Just received my door panels, they look great! Thanks!
Hi !
Those cushions kits look so nice, and the pricing is excellent ... Are you going to manufacture the other parts of the seats ?
I am interested in the backpad carpet. I have purchased your carpet kit for my 75 but haven't installed yet. You had mentioned in a previous post that it is difficult to install but another poster said it wasn't. I know this is subjective but how hard is it to install ? I will be lining the firewall with aluminum foiled foam that is self adhesive ( AC duct insulation ) to help control noise. I assume the carpet kit will be installed with spray adhesive ? Do you see any issues with my plan for installation ? Thanks
just placed an order for a set of door panels + some other little goodies>>> through your web site cant wait...
Jerry P.
I get compliments on the door panels every time some one sees them, James! they are great!
Put in a large order!
Just received my front and rear trunk carpet kits. Looks really good! Can't wait to get all my other stuff! So far so good James and Heidi!!

Hi Morph,
I can't seem to get your website to work anymore. Have you changed it? By the way I got my parts and was pleased you wouldn't have a picture of how the carpet should be layed out. My car doesn't have original carpeting and not sure where all the pieces fit, thank you.
Jamie.. he shortened his website to WWW.914AP.COM
I fixed the link
james
Would you happen to have any photos of the black modern style cut-pile carpet installed by chance?
We now have the 3 piece fiberglass backpad core set. I will get bettter pics posted soon.
That looks sweet !!!
the holes are for the foam to release air and flex
james
Here are the latest fiberglass backpad core photos. It shows the face (that the foam and uhpolstery attach to) in photo #1, the back separated into all 3 peices in photo #2 and the last photo shows the backside fitted together.
You need to announce these new products in The Garage! I almost missed this.
I almost missed it also. Looks awesome James!!!
I don't know why I waited so long.
I bought a pair of the fiberglass speaker pods that hold 6.5" round speakers.
The fiberglass is top notch. The fit is perfect. The original screws lined up without any fuss.
They look so much better than my 20 year old hack jobs that I can hardly believe the difference.
I couldn't be happier.
Thanks James!!!!

Okay, here it goes. We are in the process of streamlining to better serve customers. We are not going to be offering consoles for a little while, These are all handmade and very time consuming to make. As of next week all parts will be offered as unfinished and you will have to sand and paint them. If you have already ordered these parts then you will get them as ordered.

the center section is usally covered in heavy foam.since we deleted that part i had to come up with a new way to attach the side pieces with out the screws stickin outta the vinyl.it gets vinyled tomorow.and in a box
james
James, got any news for me?
Phil,
Here are photos of your backpad. It turned out really good but it was hard to get good photos of all the nice contours on it. For those of you who don't know what is going on in the photo, it is a custom backpad with a thin layer of foam with vinyl over the top of it, it makes for a nice low profile backpad.

Hi, I have been trying to get in touch with you for several weeks and sent at least 4 emails with no replies about a 4 piece Floor Vinyl Kit from your site but never hear from you guys. Could you contact me please if you are still selling or not selling the part. I would like to have this part to go with my carpet kit I bought from you last year. If you do not carry it anymore could you at least please send me some reply and I will try and make my own. Thanks
At&t got rid of their worldnet service so our new email is hjhl@att.net....we also have that email forwarded to our current email and we have been having some problems getting emails from people.
Okay, We have changed some manufacturing process on the following items and it has decreased the prices of these items.
Unfinished door pockets are now $59
Le spoilers are now $95
Door cores are $90 a pair.
One item has increased due to our upholstery cost increasing and that is the seat upholstery components.
Upholstery kit for one pair of seats is $345 shipped
Seat cushion covers are $75 for one and $125 for a pair.

New product is the 70-71 rain tray for 914/4. These retail for $125 with free shipping. I am giving a price of $99 for the first 5 people who buy them here.
There has been some question about pricing on our items. The current pricing for everything is on www.914ap.com. This thread started in 03. Our cost has gone up significantly since then so pricing on many items in this thread are not current. I will be editing the prices out of this thread over the next few days.
