SUBMITTED BY: STEVE COOK, AUDIOX CUSTOM CAR AUDIO, FLORENCE, ALA.

Once again, we get to see the creative work of the team at AudioX in Florence Alabama. This time we share in the experience of a competition-built Lexus RC F. As with most of the successful competition cars AudioX creates, this Lexus features quite a bit of CNC machined parts. The majority of the machining work took place in the trunk. Shop owner Steve Cook designed and built a beautiful masterpiece of layered acrylic and wood. Tasteful LED lighting is used to highlight the acrylic pieces and illuminate the equipment. Protected by the acrylic grille in the floor is a host of Tru Technology amplifiers and line drivers. The F-sport grille on the wall of the trunk conceals the cone of a JL Audio 12W6 subwoofer.

The front stage of the build consists of a Morel Supremo 9-inch midbass in the factory door locations. The pillars are home to Dynaudio Esotar tweeters, surrounded by black and red upholstery. Dynaudio 4-inch woofers in the factory dash locations round out the system.

In addition to Steve Cook, Trevor Green and Tyler Woods both contributed to the wiring and connections for this Lexus build.

Builds featured in the Installs section often focus on particular areas of a vehicle that have been modified. This submission by the crew at Mobile Toys Inc. in College Station covers just about every area of the pictured Ranger Rover.

The work started with the installation of a custom-installed radar and laser system. Front and rear laser defusers were installed in special acrylic pods to disguise their appearance while retaining functionality. The controls for the system were installed in a plate the Mobile Toys team fabricated to sit just to the left of the gauge cluster.

The next step for the team was to assemble a reference level audio system. Leaning on gear from Focal and JL Audio, a masterful plan was created resulting in an awesome audio experience. The front stage consists of the new Focal Utopia M series drivers installed on machined adapters in the factory locations. The low end reinforcement comes from a pair of Focal Utopia M subwoofers in a trick sealed enclosure. The enclosure was designed to fit in the front portion of the spare tire well. Mounted behind the enclosure are the amplifiers and power distribution blocks. The three JL Audio VXi amplifiers are mounted on an aluminum mounting stand created by the guys at Mobile Toys. Through careful planning, all the gear in the hatch fits under the floor cover, retaining the client’s storage space.
