This was done to add extra shape to the console, plus it helped in the trimming off of the amplifiers. The amps in the floor are in 1/16 steel boxes. The floor was cut out and the boxes were welded in. Next the amps were lined in ΒΌ Plexiglas with 1/8 red Plexiglas for an added highlight. For competition use, blue neon lights are used to help light them up.  To bring power between the components Chad would utilize Phoenix gold speaker wire and connectors used along with power and ground cables and finished off with a Distribution block. Finishing off some minor details, the battery rack was housed in 1x1 steel framing in the same housing as the sub enclosure holding 4 SUR batteries and cooled with 2 3-inch fans vented into rack.

With the installation in place, it was time to keep things from rattling and to keep the sound in. To manage this 4 layers of dynamate were applied to the custom wrapped headliner. Next the rear quarter windows were rebuilt out of wood and fiberglass along with being rewrapped in black velvet. This was not only done for looks but to help stop unwanted reflections. To help tie things together, the tops of the doors were refinished in black velvet along with the floorboard. Next a set of custom floor mats with read and black stitching would be developed and set inside along with an Ichiban steering wheel.
