Team SMS — 1st Place in USACI Sound Competition
Ly Nguyen earned first place in his USACI class while representing Team SMS Car Audio at Scrapin the Coast 2024.
Classics, show vehicles, competition work and one-off specialty builds from SMS. Different goals, different equipment and a lot of custom work when the normal bolt-in answer is not enough.
These are the projects where audio, fabrication, finish and show presentation overlap instead of fitting into one simple category.

The Camaro was finished for show use. Kandyman Mike was credited on the project, and DSP/RTA tuning was part of the build.

Lit FX LED products were installed on the Demon Jeep JK.


The trunk build uses dual KICKER CompQ 10-inch subwoofers, LX-Series amplifiers, carbon-fiber engraved plexi, hexagon details tied to the custom door-pod grilles, and a NO-LI 30Ah battery upgrade.


The enclosure was built for a pair of 12-inch KICKER CompQ subwoofers, with the port design inspired by the Cadillac logo.

A custom enclosure was built for a 1975 Buick Century featuring two Audio Dynamics 5000 Series 12-inch subwoofers.

The C10 uses a Sony XAV-AX8100, Mosconi Atomo tuned with GA-Barnie to a custom house curve, OFC wiring and RCA, three MMATS 6.5-inch Dreadnaut subwoofers on an LSX 2000.1, and eight MMATS PA 6.5-inch coaxials on an LSX 1400.4.


Progress continued on Thomas Stanley's Scooby-Doo Jeep: amp racks and battery boxes were built and ready, with the stunt wall and bandpass enclosure loaded up.

A four-8 subwoofer box was built for a 1990s Nissan Hardbody Extended Cab.
