A special bandpass enclosure was designed housing 2x 15" Thunder9500 Superwoofers, the port of this enclosure was created by cutting a hole through the cabin of the pick-up. MTX Thunder942 amps were installed to drive these subs. MTX prototype AXE 6" seperates were used in each door and as centerchannel to build a complete 5.1 system. A MTX Thunder1004 was used to drive the seperates. Streetwires ZN6 RCA and Ultra Flow power and ground wire were use to wire the complete system.
