Congrats on that Steve! It's cool to be recognized like that no matter what level you're on. I'll have to go pick one up--it's been two decades since I've bought a magazine. I've seen the build and it's insane. Article says you used Night Shades? I thought you used tinted clear on your lenses like we do.

John K. Custom vehicle freak since late 80s. Pro installer since 1994. Don't really build a lot of huge systems like those on here, more specializing in stealth and completely hidden stuff. I still run an aftermarket shop, but no longer in audio so I found this site while bored at work one day and use you guys for inspiration because I'm not around my crew anymore. Maybe someday I'll be back in the audio world, but it's already totally different than it was when I left. I will always modify my own stuff and now I'll likely share it here when I do. Literally hundreds of installs that I didn't take pictures of but here are a few I did at my last shop. Since they're already on the internet I figured it'd be okay to link. I left this shop to move to a different city 7 years ago now but they don't really update their site: Stealth Viper system featuring a round bendy ply box mocking the spare tire: http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects/viper_gts/ Audi S6 Avant with a hinged amp rack and hidden sub box: http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects/02_AUDI_S6/ 04 Escalade using all the usual center console and rear seat hiding spots. Even an EQ behind the back seat center armrest (not shown). Also not shown is the vinyl wrapped sub box with raised "Escalade" logo under the vinyl. Four tens down firing and ported down running off the JL 1000/1 shown. http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects/04_ESCALADE/ Alfa Romeo trunk build showing what I still use as a standard stealth woofer grille--expanded metal rabbeted and flush mounted then painted on the bottom and wrapped with carpet or grille cloth: http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects2/75_Alpha/ Radio only in an Impala glove box: http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects/64_IMPALA/ Eleanor replica '67 Shelby custom center console. The plastic speaker mounts and kick panels were customer supplied: http://www.staytunedcustoms.com/projects2/67_Shelby/ I do suspension, superchargers, turbo kits, got SEMA certified for exterior body components (kits, running boards, etc.), and was ASE certified electrical. It's been a heck of a ride but I may be ending the customer service portion of my career and finding something else soon. As much fun as I've had and the relationships I've made there are more lucrative careers out there that require far less time commitment. Anyway thanks for the place to share. If anyone even looks at the intro page anymore at least mine's here.
