F-650
This truck was HUGE! Very cool but HUGE! It was so huge that it slowed us down from our usual fast pace. That’s right, it took us 2 weeks on this truck (pretty sad). We decked this one out with an all Bazooka system. We chucked the old bench seat and got 2 buckets for the rear of the vehicle so we could build a console from front to rear. We did 4- bazooka subs in the center console along with 4 sub amps on top of the center console. We custom-made some grooves down the sides of the console to run the wires in (we don’t recommend doing this = too much sanding!) We made 2 different tubes that went behind both rear seats that held amps, caps and distribution. We also rebuilt the door panels to hold a pair of 6.5” separates and a Plexiglas sponsor board in the door. We molded in a 7” monitor in the console for the back seat passengers to enjoy.

The Buzz Van
This van belongs to the local alternative rock radio station who LOVES US!!!! We definitely “Pimped out their ride.” We started by putting shag carpet on the ceiling of this rig. That’s right I said shag carpet. It looked so cool! Once again we did a huge Phoenix Gold system because their equipment rocks! This van got decked out with 12 – 12” octane subs, 7 octane amps, a few Exide batteries for extra voltage and a Panasonic head unit. This shaggy van threw down! Its purpose is to sit outside concerts and attract attention and it definitely did that, not only because it was louder than the concert, but because we dialed this thing in with wicked cool Plexiglas work and a ton of Varad LED lights that we programmed to run certain patterns. It made a great impression and we are lined up to build 3 more vans for the same company.

2004 Red Hummer
This was my favorite Hummer, externally, that I have owned. It was very pretty and very pissed off looking! The red was a limited edition color so you didn’t see very many of them (that’s good). We went a very different direction with this install; we left the floor wide open and did the install up the sides and on the ceiling of the H2. We built this Hummer start to finish in 8 days (not much sleep) with 3 guys. We did 4-7” directed monitors in “Big Red” as well as a 15” flip down and a Kenwood 6.5” video and navigation unit in the dash. We used all high end Phoenix Gold Xenon equipment such as 2 – 1200 watt amps, one on each Xenon sub (don’t try this at home) and a 200.4 on the PG Elite 605 separates.
We also had a PG line driver, bass cube and some sweet fuse blocks. We custom built a metal cage for the amp to mount from the ceiling and to run wires through. The entire enclosure had custom air brushing to wake it up plus we did some sick Plexiglas work and lighting with VARAD lights on this one. We made the lights scroll and we cut the Plexiglas to look like saw blades so when the lights scanned, it looked like the blades were moving. We decided to lift this Hummer and put some 38” Nitto Mud Terrain tires and Alba 18” rims (the first set of Nitto mud terrains). We slapped a Warn winch on the front of the rig that could also be moved to the back or to our car hauler. We did a Hyper Tech Power Programmer that really helped out on gas mileage and power and we can’t forget the Flowmaster exhaust to spice up the rumble of the big 6 liter V8.

2003 White H2
This H2 was such a good demo vehicle. It was a white H2, so it stuck out like a sore thumb, but in a good way. Our black H2 was tough and rugged, but this one was a lot more classy and prestigious. We did a big JL audio system, so obviously it sounded great! We did a large light-colored enclosure that took up all of the back of the Hummer and we lit it very well so it really grabbed your attention. In the beginning we had some 18” Lexanis on here but we raised up the bling level and put some Jesse James 22” 50 Calibers on it. We did 7” Myron & Davis monitors in every headrest and Pioneer flip down & navigation in the dash. This Hummer was built start to finish in only 8 days.

2003 Black H2
This was one of the first Hummers off the truck in late 2002. We were one of the first shops to ever rip apart a brand new H2, which was a little nerve-racking. We took it kind of easy on this install but it still has some cool factor, plus we built it in only 6 days. We hand-made a bunch of Plexiglas spikes that we lit and mounted up and down the amp rack. This install went through a mid-life face lift. The first install was all Pioneer amps and the all new Pioneer 5000 sub. The second go around we did all Rockford BD 1000s and a different Pioneer sub. We also did Pioneer 7” head rests all around, and a Pioneer flip out video and navigation piece.

2001 Ford Lightning
This truck can put you to the back of the seat in a hurry. This Lightning is modified in all avenues. Looking at the truck, the first thing you notice is that it’s sitting a little lower than normal with a Belltech 2/4 drop and a set of Demoda Concepts 20” wheels wrapped with Nitto 420S rubber. The factory hood has been replaced with an AAD Cobra hood and the factory grille was trashed and a matching billet grille was put in. And last, there is a low profile tonneau cover hiding the bed. The interior is where this Lightning stands out from the rest. The first thing you see is that the factory seats have been replaced with Sparco Milano racing seats wrapped in two-tone suede. Tucked in between the seats is the crazy audio system. There is a magnet from a Phoenix Gold 12” Xenon subwoofer staring right at you on the driver’s side, while the passenger gets to feel the air coming from the port on the other side of this fiberglass enclosure that sits where you would usually find a center console. Incorporated into this enclosure are the arm rests that were hand-made, shaped and carved into the shape of Lightning bolts that start from the front and finish wrapping around each seat. Tilt the seats forward and behind the driver you’ll find a Phoenix Gold equalizer floating on Plexiglas lit up with blue neon. Also lit up and floating on Plexiglas behind the passenger seat, you’ll see all the distribution for the stereo. After taking this in, you wonder, where are the amplifiers? Hey, look up! That’s right, two Phoenix Gold amplifiers flushed in the headliner.
The first is a Xenon 1200.1 for the subwoofer and the other is a Xenon 200.4 for the Xenon 6.5” component set in the doors. Wrapped in suede, the factory headliner was totally reconstructed to make these amplifiers tuck up in there. The regular covers to these amplifiers were taken off and Scott Sabolich Prosthetics made exact duplicates of them with clear Plexiglas so the full internals of the amplifiers can be seen. A Kenwood DDX-7017 Head unit runs the signal for the whole system, so we have full audio and video in this truck. Last of all, you check under the hood, where the plenum and throttle body have been ported and polished. An Air Force One CAI was put in place of the factory one. The factory mufflers weren’t doing the job, so they got replaced with Flowmasters and a Superchip was installed as well. This Lightning was built over a two month period but it’s not finished yet. Look for more engine modifications, because you know nothing is ever fast enough. The interior will be receiving more attention as well.

2001 Acura 3.2TL
Who says you can’t make a 4 door Acura turn heads? This Acura started out like every other TL out there but, in a short period of time it did a 180. The outside needed some attention to separate it from every other one out there, so a factory Acura body kit was added to give a more aggressive sporty look. The factory 16” wheels hit the garbage and were replaced with Hello 18” wheels wrapped in Nitto ZR555 tires. The windows received limo tint to finish it off. Now it doesn’t look like every Acura in the parking lot. Pop the trunk and now it’s a different story. What the…., what is that, that my friend is Pioneer’s TSW-5000 12” SPL subwoofer. If the look doesn’t give it away that this thing is absolutely enormous, you should try picking it up, this thing weight 75lbs. Each voice coil gets it own amplifier, a Kicker SX650.1. That might not seem like a lot of power but this car was set up more for sound quality than SPL. 650 watts on each voice coil did the trick. Each of those amplifiers sits right behind the subwoofer in the trunk. These are all incorporated in the trunk “tub” while we added some ICE to it making it different from all the other “tubs” you’ve seen. An airbrush artist came in and airbrushed the “tub” making it look like icicles were everywhere. The theme was followed up into the trunk lid where the amplifier for the mids & highs was also housed.
The interior stayed real clean looking minus the factory head unit and speakers hitting the high road and replaced with a Pioneer AVIC-N1 so no matter where we went we had DVD entertainment and Navigation just in-case. The speakers were replaced with Pioneer 6.5” REV speakers in all four doors to finish this simple install with a touch of “ICE”. Probably the most impressive part of this install was the whole thing was completed in only 8 days. Now that was 8 very long days but we had a show to attend to and we don’t miss deadlines. This Acura needed to be in Pioneer’s booth at USACI World Finals, and it was parked in front of the big rig Friday afternoon ready for spectators Saturday morning.

96 Mustang GT
WOW! This car is wicked!!!!!! Make sure you check out “Edge Media” on this web site and look at the article written on it in Car Audio Magazine. The pictures are way better and they still don’t do it justice. This car is amazing inside and out. It’s hard to even know where to start describing it. It is a full Rockford Fosgate system that is extremely loud for 3 -10”subs. We completely gutted the car including the A/C unit to make adequate space for all this Rockford equipment. It was a small car and there was a bunch of equipment, but we were determined to make it work. We shoved 10 Rockford Amps, 3 – 10” subs with a very large enclosure, 2- RF equalizers (1 for sq and 1 for video) plus, an in-dash EQ just to make it louder, a RF crossover network, 2 pairs of 6 ½” separates, a RF head unit, a Pioneer DVD player, a 7” monitor, 6 batteries (inside the car) and 8 -1 farad caps. We did a very cool mid-dash gauge cluster in our fiberglass console as well as a large bank of switches that operated all of the lights (inside &out). Each amp had its own switch. Power widows, door locks and air bags were also in the mix. As I just mentioned, this car was on bags with 20” rims in the rear and 19” rims in the front. The paint is out of control, it had a mural of the Predator on the hood as well as some bio-mechanical Geiger art airbrushed in some rips throughout the car. Check out the article in Car audio magazine for more details or contact us.

48 Chevy
This car is one of the most unique vehicles you will ever see! It has won back-to-back Low-rider titles time and time again. This is definitely the car you don’t want to compete against! We decked out this car with tons of Phoenix Gold equipment so obviously it sounds incredible! We tubbed in 4 -10” Phoenix Gold octane subs and powered them with 2 Phoenix Gold octane 1200 watt amps. We mounted 2 of the 4 amps right behind the wicked cool Plexiglas seats we built and the other 2 amps were inverted and motorized into the enclosure. On the back side of the motorized amp rack we built a customized Acoustic Edge logo out of several layers of Plexiglas and lit it. The whole install is very well lit and has a lot of Plexiglas. We built kick panels that rolled into door panels and they housed 4 pairs of Phoenix Gold 6 ½” mid-range speakers and 2 pair of tweets. This car had no top but man did it get loud! Of course the car has hydraulics and it even has a gold-plated engine. The whole frame and underside of the car is painted just like the outside of the car, it’s clean!

1939 Chevrolet Master 85
Old School, New School, Low-rider? Which one? Or maybe there’s a little of all in the mix. This ‘39 Chevy has the same body as it did back then but not too much more after that. This Chevy went through the full stages of paint and body work to make it look the way it does now. Everything on this Chevy is either painted to match or chromed, and we’re talking suspension, engine, bumpers, grille, you name it and it’s done. Open the doors and the new school takes over. It still has the original seats but completely redone in new school form for some better comfort, not to mention looks. The dash and door trim were airbrushed to make it look like wood grain and if that wasn’t mentioned you would never know. Where is the audio? Open the glove box and an Alpine head unit running the system sits in a custom-made kit. Kicker 6.5” Component sets rest down in the kick panels that I’m pretty sure weren’t there back in ‘39. The rest of the audio is housed in the trunk along with all the pumps and batteries for the hydraulics. The two pumps are chromed and have all hard lines running to the valves and pumps for that extra clean look. There are Audiobahn amplifiers on each side of the trunk powering the system while the 2 Audiobahn 15” subwoofers produce the low end bass for the system. This ‘39 was featured in Street Customs Magazine March issue 2004. Check it out for the full write up.
