Ford
F150 2004 5.4L Super Charged V8 truck. This is America's most popular
vehicle. This vehiclle has been upgraded from the 18" wheels to 24"
which will be soon to be slammed out on airbags. We set out to make
this the loudest demo car in the scene in NZ on display. We can pull up
to any outdoor event or function and provide knockout sounds and PA on
board.

We
started in the front of the vehicle by fitting a Alpine 7" screen with
a DVD. At the back of the seat we also fitted a JBL 8" Cannon to supply
some bottom end bass inside. The design to open up from the rear to
supply sound up to the length of a football field for crystal clear
sound, run down as follows:
-
Fitted
to the rear are four JBL Power 15" Woofers running off a JBL BPX2200
Digital Power Amplifier, this would supply a minimum of 550 watts RMS
to each sub. The box that we have designed which was one end of the box
open ended and the port to the rear of the box. Will not run into the
design of this box as it is too complicated to describe.

This
is a very simple layout of the woofers as in we are only running one
Amp to power the bottom end hearing this would blow you out of the
water. Unlike most demo cars on the market they seem to run multi
amplifiers to their sub woofers to give them enough bottom end.
Unfortunately this is incorrect, it comes down to a couple of factors
which would be box design and the configuration of your amp, the right
amp for the application . The rear of the vehicle we fitted for the
mids and tweeters eight JBL 8" speakers.

To
power these 8" speakers we ran a JBL BP300.4 Amplifier which would run
into each speaker 100 RMS, yet again configuring this amplifier
correctly will power the JBL 8" speakers more than adequately. In the
rear of the top for display purposes we fitted a mirror and a 15"
motorised screen. This is a very basic system with only running two
amplifiers, you may not think it would be loud but seeing and hearing
this vehicle decimates all cars in NZ. Click HERE to check out more images of this truck.
