The car was built for audio competitions lol

I'll bet that you could pop hail dents out of the sheet metal with the SPL inside that car!

You win cash? Enough to pay for all that? Did you have to beef up the suspension to accommodate the extra weight?
 
If the entire inside wasn’t formed out with 3” worth of wood with metal bracing and gaps filled with expanding foam, I’d probably have enough pressure. Don’t win cash, but have picked up sponsorships. Not close to enough to pay for it, I’m negative about $30k right now into the build lol. Suspension SHOULD be beefed up, I’ve dropped about 3-4” in the rear…in all honesty my thought process was “wear the s*** out of stock and then worry about it”. Once I blow out the stock suspension (which has been taking it surprisingly well) I’ll be upgrading. Last show I metered, I did a 157.1db, but have made a few gains since then. Goal is to get it to a 160db.

More so than the actual competition side of things; I built it to be a nasty demo machine. Meaning I love having a line of people waiting to sit in it and hear what it does. The smiles and looks of shock when someone gets in it and doesn’t expect it to be as loud as it is, is great. It’s why I do this. Check out my TikTok for videos of that lol RickyGetsLoud

Couple changes made. Made Team Sundown Audio, officially. Switched all the amps. Had a custom bracket made to fit a small case Chevy 250a alternator, with external regulator (adjustable, set to charge 15.5v but can be set anywhere from 14.8-16v), 87ah scib lithium bank powering the whole car (replaced stock battery and good for about 60,000 watts of audio).

Well. Almost 5 years later and the little controller box for my front bumper lights finally gave out. Was able to get a replacement and 40 minutes later I am back up and running.

You should have responded with a simple "What?"🤣
 
I see lots of posts about mats, skins, but no one has pictures! Can we start?
This way the entered CX 5 Community can Swag up together!

I can't start yet because I still have My Honda CRV which I haven't sold yet Unless you want to see my accessories
In any case, shall we begin?

Added some Gas hood struts today. $32
For the kit and 20 minutes was done 👍🏻
