High Tech Sound II
The Making Of A Sound Off Show Car

Most sound off competitors would be stranded if their tires ever blew out. You would never see Tim stranded since he have a spare 17" rim. Against the back wall of the bed is the grill for the Aperiodic Membrane used to damp the sub woofers. On either side of the bed, in front of the wheel wells, in the "dead area" is a SVR Battery (SVR70-12). Accessible, yet out of the way. Matching carpet was used to make a throw rug to cover and protect the system from prying eyes, while maintaining protection to the glass covering the amp rack from being scratched.

Chrome jack and tire iron, talk about details, these aren't even visible, they are in a storage rack cut in the floor, beside the amp rack. TIP !!!, grease the jack after chroming it, it sucks trying to wind it up on the side of the freeway in New Mexico on the way back from IASCA Finals at 2 in the morning when it won't turn right !

These fuses are mounted up above the batteries and protected by clear Plexiglas. The fuses are attached to a bar mounted directly to the positive terminal. The red hose vents this sealed compartment to the exterior, using something called the Venturi Effect to eliminate noxious gasses from building up in the bed.

This is what you see when the protective cover is removed to display the amp rack. As you can see, the red, chrome, and graphite theme is consistent through out. 

Not many people would show you behind the scenes in their vehicle, well this truck has nothing to hide. Here is the underside of the amp rack. Everything is on Barrier strips for easy servicing.
