Grocery Getting Bass - Audiotech
Baggin' The Boom Without Sacrificing The Room.
By John Wilson, Photography by Reinaldo M. M. Robinson
Recessing the amplifiers and only displaying the faces allows the guys to protect the amplifiers and all of the wires running to them. To give a little extra pizzazz to the "grocery getter," John and Rene decided to add some LED illumination to the distribution block allowing the face to glow in a blue shimmering light with the amp cover in place.
When all is said and done, the guys from the Snake Pit have created a system for a daily driver that didn't hurt the car nor the pocket book. Created to be eye catching for a mother to go and get the goodies, this sound system also allows her to be heard before she's seen!
