Over the years I’ve been involved on a number of threads discussing aftermarket audio systems in the Model S. On my first two S’s (I’m on my third – yes, I have a problem, I freely admit it) I went with Reus audio, and Cliff Johnson. Cliff is a great guy, but he lives in California, which is really inconvenient for me as I live in Virginia outside of DC. I was also thinking I wanted a bit more out of the system on my third attempt, and Reus only offers a few, standardized options. I wasn’t thinking Ludicrous, but perhaps Insane. I ended up with Ludicrous 
As luck would have it, a friend shared a video of a Ludicrous system in a S P100D, and the installer (Matt Schaeffer) was in the DC metro area. Installer really doesn’t really do him justice. Artist is a better noun. I ended up at his shop, and spent a few hours going over the options. Just like Tesla I ended up spending more than I had planned, but I am rather happy with the results. The only negative was, just like Tesla, I had to wait a few months! Matt won installer of the year in 2016, and since then he has been in high demand. We started talking in May, and my appointment was in September!
The results:
Matt put together a video to describing all the details of my install. I’m happy to answer any questions, here or by PM, but I highly recommend you start with the video as it is quite detailed and has many more pictures. As many of you know I’m quite active on TMC, the official Tesla Club for the mid-Atlantic, Tesla Road Trip, as well as some of the less formal DC area social groups, so if you’re in the area and what a demo, just let me know. Happy to do it. Just like Tesla, though, don’t listen to it unless you’re ready to buy
Oh - I'm also an amateur radio (ham) operator, so you'll have to ignore the two-way radio and the antennas. That wasn't Matt's doing. That's all me.
