| head Unit And Sub Enclosure mobile Entertainment
Back in the day, we saw some interesting installs, from head units just hanging from the bottom of the dash to subs stuffed into coffee cans - or even worse, home speakers lying in the bed. The world of custom mobile entertainment installations has changed, the days of old are gone, and the future is here. Well, for the most part. There are still some of you out there doing it the old way, but we're here to show you a better way. We hooked up with Al & Ed's in Ontario, California, to get the 411 on how it's done. The talented staff built and installed the system in Justin Jones' - from Starbucks Customs - monster Avalanche (Oct. '03 Sport Truck cover). We knew it was going to be a killer setup, so we went to the company's shop with a camera in tow. Darren Sprayberry has years of experience building show and competition systems, and after a little bribery, he agreed to let us show you some of the tricks he employs. There are special tools and equipment used to build this - such as a table saw, router, and sanders - which might make it hard to do it at home, but the basic principals are the same. So if you're good with your hands, you'll find a way to duplicate the work.
