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!
