Here are some pictures of the two Audiovox XB's at Ultimate Audio in Orlando for some maint. The detail work is outstanding. You all sould try to see them when they come around at next show in your area. Picture don't do them justice.

They look nice even thought it's overkill. Does this mean Audiovox is stepping up to play with the big boys or are they just trying to promote their traditionally less than average stuff?

Ha ha ha. I didn't pay that any attention Old Punk. You are right. That's a lot of work to leave that out.

I must be getting old, :oops: I remember when Audiovox was a notch up from purchasing car audio stuff from The Tandy Corperation(RadioShack) :shock:

From an installers standpoint, Id laugh at whoever did it. The cars dont flow. Mounting amps on the ceiling might look neat but completely goes against installation standards. An amp is designed to be mounted facing up or out, not upside down - to dissapate heat. The quality of the work looks alright but the ideas are poorly executed.

These are strickly show cars to showcase their products. They were built to take to shows like SEMA and other trade shows and vendor sponsored events. Unlike some other "pure show cars" the owner was nice enough to bring them out to one of Scion Dynasty's local club meets for everyone to see. There are some great customizing ideas going on here and a XB is such a small platform to pack all them into. I really liked to overhead center consol ideas and the way they have smoothed over and painted all the interior plastic panels. The interior paint detail is something to see in person. Overkill - yes, but I think that was the purpose here.

i saw the orange one in person in motgomery alabama. i was on a trip home, got off the interstate to get some gas, i noticed an orange xb at a bp so i pulled in of course. come to find out a young guy and some girl were drivin the car. they told me it was a company car made by audiovox and what not, i looked all around it, very impressive, i was blown away, especially at my luck of being about to check it out in person

they are show cars... some shops actually take the amps apart and flip the internals before they install them upside down... some might not even be funtional... its for show... Some manufacturers hide the real amps that they use (some don't even use their own amplifiers!)
it's a crazy install... and it definitely took a lot of work and planning to pull off those cars...

Good job to the guys at ultimate audio...!

pretty nice for show cars. are those screens on the front 2 lower door panels also?



all the detail to fixing up they left the steering wheel and didn't utilize the space above the glove box.
