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. |

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. |
