Escalade Project

 

    What started as an idea to add some subwoofers to this Cadillac Escalade grew to a competition class show vehicle with jaw-dropping custom work. The difference was in finding that he was dealing with a world-class design & installation team.


    Some special touches on this vehicle are the 6 video screens, Philips Pronto All-In-One Remote, a hidden custom amp rack, and even a built-in PlayStation2!!!
    Our customer initially wanted to add a subwoofer or two to make this vehicle sound as good as a Cadillac should, but after seeing pictures and hearing the special abilities of Dyer's Custom Installation Team, he realized that he could bring a dream to life.
    Talk about a dream machine! The Escalade's rear door reveals a 12" LCD video monitor and 2 10" MOMO subs (surrounded by custom-made neon frames) in a custom fiberglass enclosure painted to match the vehicle's exterior.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Above and below you can see the details of the custom grille work in the doors, and custom controls in the dash, as well as the upholstry/fiberglass work to place the screens in the headrests.
    The vehicle was totally stripped out as with the 2001 Excursion, so that all cables, wires, and soundproofing could be invisible and so that all interior trim and panels would have a factory fit and meet the most exacting specifications for sound quality.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

    As Custom As It Gets!!! The customer not only wanted to retain the factory appearance to the Escalade's upholstry and trim, but he wanted to make sure he kept the use of the vehicle's rear seats. The Team's ingenious plan was to build a custom amp rack beneath the rear seats that matches the vehicle's interior and is still fully accessable, at the same time visible when necessary for inspections or to just show off.
    Every aspect of this job called for the utmost in design, custom fabrication, and installation. The challenge of this job was to make it's system fully functional, as compact as possible and only as visible as necessary, yet fully accessable.
    Our customer couldn't have been happier with the final outcome of his request to create a system that was "different than anything else out there."
