2001 Ford Explorer

Simple enough, it's an explorer filled with Audiopipe, also I was exploring so many different Audiopipe components that I never really knew what combination I was going to end up using

I'm an old school audiophile and believe that neatness counts. I was inspired by what i saw in the early 90s of car audio. Fukuda, Gates, even Sam Horn inspired my creativity. I really wanted something loud and clean. I believe that the installation should look and sound amazing. I wanted to use an underdog brand to show people it didn't take a fortune to produce a high end sound. I was in the right place at the right time with an ambitious group of talented people who decided to jump with me on thie initial build. I'd like to think we inspired each other's creativity and the result was way better than I ever imagined

The first version of the build was done in 2010 and was built in 7days in order to make a photo shoot. That included the paint and bodywork you see today. The explorer has been evolving ever since. Adding the body kit, the air ride and the ever evolving audio builds. The latest add ons taking place at slamology. I keep saying this is the last change....but we'll see

I started really building audio at 15, that was 1988...after hearing Paul Revere by the Beasties while working pumping gas at sohio....that warped bass pounding from 2 earthquake 15s in a mustang hatchback....I was hooked. I went to Sun TV bought 2 10s and a sherwood amp and put behind the seat of a ranger. The next year I was working part time at a local stereo shop " Custom Stereo Workshop " I put 4 "thump" 8s in the ranger. By 1993 I was at CES in Las Vegas with a short bed ranger with a snugtop with 16 18 inch subs and 32 amplifiers in the bed. 40 speakers....its in my blood

I really want to do an old school build in a tandem mini or a late 40s early 50s bread truck

Bought from Ricart Ford in 2001 I had no intentions of building a bass vehicle. I started small, a couple 10s then 12s then a full visonik build with 2 15s on 4k. Inverted subs, it was clean. Then I built an all fiberglass Audiopipe build in 09'. 4 12s 4 amps and took it to the TWH dealer show and Audiopipe took notice and asked me to display with them. The next year 10 days before the TWH dealer show, Audiopipe called and asked if I had a vehicle for an AP photo shoot....I said of course. Little did they know it was sitting on a rack, no doors and still factory maroon.(,you can see it in one of the pics) 7 of us working almost 24 hours a day for 7 days and we rolled into the show with the paint still tacky. That was version 1.0. This is currently version 5.0
