| This was one of the first applications of JL Audio’s new 10W7 subwoofer. The boxes were built with 1.5” MDF baffles and bolted to the floor of the car with 3/8” bolts.

Between the subwoofers is now home to a Phoenix Gold Powercore 20 Farad Cap mounted on top of neon lit Plexiglas. Right behind it are two Phoenix Gold amplifiers also floating on neon lit Plexiglas. |

All of the panels were wrapped in a factory matching vinyl. The x-over on either side was backlit with electric blue neon as well to match the amp rack. |
