Mobile Toys IASCA SQ Show 2013 PICS!

[onebadmonte 235]

Damn! It was a good show. It was awesome chatting it up with all you guys. No trophies for me. :/ I was bestowed the honorary "Rocked the fhawk out" by the Oklahoma crew. They don't call them guys OK for nothing. Thanks fellas. I did get some great tuning tips from one of the Houston Boys, Chad. Awesome dude, thanks for the tips. Well I'm gonna try to keep this thread alive by posting some pics. So here goes.


Chad's (southside) Acura out to dominate the world of SQ


Nice and clean trunk install. I didn't get a chance to listen this time around, but there is no doubt this is one nice sounding car.


I came across this sinister Tundra done up by the crew at Mobile Toys.


A modest stock appearing interior, see if you can spot all the tricks.


Great use of space. No demo of this one though. I should've asked for one, prolly would of gotten it too.


Up next was a very modest commuter car. Owner, unknown. :|


Some serious gear in the trunk.


Another subtle interior install. Must make for a fun drive to work or the gym.


I saw this at the show. Nice sombrerro muchacho.


A combination of Definitive Audio Designs (DAD) subs and Mosconi Amps. Noice!

To be continued....

Then there was this:

I got a chance to chat with the owner, Larry. Great guy, came all the way from Cali. O_o


Solid install.


Great looking kick panels


My favorite part, these classic looking subs. Pro-audio style ribbed cones and accordion surrounds, just gorgeous.

Along side the Merc, also from Cali, was this cute little Cruze packing quite an SQ
wallop.



Clean interior, executed razor sharp. I've got a long ways to go before I'm at this level.


Trunk install as good. Lighting controlled via iPhone, effing cool!


Arc Audio PS-8 installed under the rear deck on a motorized panel that folds down. Brilliant!


Rare sighting of a unicorn at the show in the form of an unmolested Toyota Supra. I got to chat cars with the owner Brian, one of many Brians' at the show. I asked it how he's been able to resist the urge of modifying his Supra. His answer, "Ebay, looking at what stock Supras go for versus modded Supras. Its a no brainer." I guess this one wont go for cheap. Nice chatting.


Stock, nuff said.

More on the way.

Damn I was about to post how awesome the Acura was as soon as I saw it, but Jesus they're all super clean. Some inspiration for sure.

Making the rounds at the show I came across James's beautiful blue GTO



A little American muscle for all the enthusiast.


Simple pods in the pillars for this Goat. On a side note how's everyone enjoying my JJ Abrams visual light effects. They were ultra annoying in TV show Fringe.JJ, if you're reading, cut it out. Back to the GTO


Handling the bottom octaves, a pair of AQ SD2.5s in a very clean DIY install.

Next to the Goat I found papaqueball's red Charger.



A 15" Alpine in an IB alignment works it's magic in the Charger.


Lookie, who came out to play.


Wicked sounding engine.


It's even got on board entertainment for the little ones. Not sure how well it works when it's tearing up the track at 160mph. Kids must be holding on to those controller  for dear life, is my guess.


A very off road capable Jeep belonging to one of the installers at Mobile Toys was also on display.


Cool little tweeter dash pods with mids in the stock location for this Jeep.


Killer box with some Mosconi amps.

[onebadmonte 235]

All the way from Phoenix Arizona, Don's (Buzzman) big bodied Benz. His co-pilot for the trip, Jose from L.A.



8" mid-basses in the doors with 5-1/4" full range drivers in the kicks handling mid-range duties.


A dreamy interior. The perfect interior to tear up  the west Texas I-10 desert at 95mph.


Custom a-pillar wave guides for ultra trick ceramic dome tweeters.


Sub duties performed by this custom Danish woofer. O_o Reminds me of that a/d/s 10 from a few years back.


Amplification by Phass and Tru.

The Merc, is an awesome sounding car, a real treat to listen to. Thanks for the listening session Don.


Also from California, this effing cool Charger.




A closer look reveals these awesome looking subs.


Everything in the Charger is powered by these beautifully installed Zapco amps.


This fun looking Mitsubishi made and appearance.


Nice and tight a-pillars in this one. O_o


The truck install was equally as tight. Are those AE subs I'm looking at?


Wrapping up my show coverage is this inconspicuous little Civic.


Got to love the trunk space these IB installs leave. I know for sure these are AE subs. In addition to the subs, each door houses a Faital Pro 10. The demo was intense, almost p'ed a little.

Thanks. See you all at the next show.

Thanks for the pics!

Thanks for the pics!

No problem bro. It was a great show, 41 cars competed. It was an SQ only show.

[edouble101 314]

Wow, heavy hitters!! I would have definitely asked for a demo by Mark and Buzzman!!! The Ralliart with the AE's won World SQ is his class.

Alright now I am on my laptop....

 

All of the installs look great, hands-down. Although a majority of the sedan installs look the same, especially in the trunk. IB mounted subwoofers, amps in the spare tire well, nothing unique. Hopefully next weekend the judges see my install and see the "uniqueness" that most sedans do not have

I agree, you've seen one, you've seen them all, but how well do they sound? That's what separates the wieners from the rest of us.

Is that a Tundra with a Lexus badged steering wheel??

 

I noticed the MS8 controller and the iPhone dock...any other goodies hiding? ...its a dark photo!

The steering wheel was the main one. There is also and up-firing center channel speaker in the dash above the sat/nav unit and some flush mounted tweeters in the a-pillars.
