Scion_xB_05 (Install Feb 06)

Drawing attention was top priority for this Rockingham Scion xB. We did it with a 37” motorized Plasma screen and a thumping sound system.

A 37”  Panasonic commercial grade Plasma screen made sure this Scion receives as much recognition as possible while sitting on the showroom floor at Rockingham Toyota, or traveling to local Tuner shows.

Hey, why not motorize the screen so it is viewable at eye level? Red neon was added as a subtle accent at night.

Here is a side view, showcasing the “Fish-drive” motors and 100lbs ball bearing tracks responsible for moving and holding the very heavy screen securely.

A movable drawer houses an Accele DVD player and also has room for a video game. A 110V outlet and AUX A/V inputs are built right into the drawer.

Front and center of the drawer is a unique plaque promoting “Rockingham Scion”, “Northeast Tuners” and “Sound in Motion”. The cool part is that the sign changes colors constantly with the beat of the music.

Alpine “Type R” 6.5” coaxial speakers where used to disperse the audio out back. The red theme was carried over from the custom seat covers.

A four channel Alpine V12 amp makes sure we have plenty of power. Channel 1 & 2 feed the coaxial speakers while the other two are bridged to power the 10” Alpine “Type R” sub facing down (under the amp-rack).

Very strong and very light weight, some creative engineering went into designing the rack that holds and moves the massive screen.

Here is a view of the tracks and motors, prior to final assembly.

1/2” square steel tubing was used primarily. Everything is 100% serviceable.

The concealed .65 cu inch enclosure is made of ¾” MDF. It mounts to the screen rack and faces down into the rear well, which was treated with Dynamat sound deadening.
