The driver had to be the mic and got to pick the song because he/she needed to know the song well enough that he didn't have to look at the screen. Two guitars were played in the backseat.
so yea...just wanted to tell everyone my story. That post made me think of it and laugh.

LMFAOO, that sounds pretty hardcore lmao
I can just imagine pulling up to a stop light and seeing a car full of dudes playing Rockband while driving lmao

See BlackBeauty, its not a bad idea...

BB came out well on this deal. ( No pun intended.

All kidding aside... This is the most amazing car audio install I have ever seen or heard. The sound quality cannot be put into words. The attention to detail that Tech used from start to finish is unbelievable. You can't even tell that the truck was completely gutted and transformed. I know where I will be shopping when I am ready to upgrade my audio system.

BB, do you have any additional pics of that amp rack setup? I've been racking my brain for the past couple months as to how I was going to mount my two amps, and this is perfect!! Any problems putting the seats up, ect?

By the way, WOW!!!! Very nice!!!

**Blackbeauty** · 04-01-2009, 04:24 AM

The amp rack is merely a piece of 5/8" MDF covered in carpet to match the Titan. It just rests against the rear bulkhead and the metal strapping attached behind the childseat tiedown fastens the top of the rack in place. Now, each of the two amps is on its own rack, so one board doesn't go straight across without considerable work to make it fit. The two piece approach was much easier.

The rear seats do hit the amps when folding the seat up. The sliding rear window really takes up a ton of room on the rear bulkhead. The only difficulty it poses for me though, is that I can't just pop the seats up to show off the sub box. I may have to look into a workaround for this situation. I know there's a way.... just gotta think on it a bit....

Do you think this problem could have been solved with thinner wood? 3/8 Ply perhaps?

**Blackbeauty** · 04-01-2009, 06:55 AM

I doubt it. There would need to be NO wood there for the amps to fit. And these are really slim by comparison to most. There's just way too much stuff on the rear inner bulkhead and the contours are nuts. Not much space unless you spend some time and really contour something up to mount it to the wall. I'm sure it can be done... Just very time consuming.

Cool, thats what I figured. Who knows what these engineers are thinking when they build this stuff. Thanks

Yeah... Engineers... harumph.... just shoot them all!

Oh wait... I am one...

Looks great guys! I was waiting for the last year to see how this finally came out! Another fan of CDT! I LOVE IT!

I wish I could have been down there this year to hang with you guys. But I don't think I could take that many days with BB.... you know...

**Blackbeauty** · 04-04-2009, 07:28 PM

There was plenty of food! And I had a ton of contraband beer! You wouldn't have even noticed my

**jager2704** · 04-06-2009, 08:42 AM

All in all, a great review. I'm now suffering from audio envy which right now can't be cured. It was a pleasure hang'n out with you guys and I can't wait to heat BB again in June.
