Powering the subs are four JL Audio 1000/1 amps, and one 300/4 amp for the highs. Mood lig
Delivering the Cadillac to Joe at Auto Upholstery in Houston, Matt requested the use of only the finest materials, including alligator hide, suede, and Mercedes carpet. Joe wrapped the seats, door panels, headliner, and center console with the precious fabrics and then installed the B.A.D. steering wheel, billet pedals, and rearview mirror.
A bevy of tunes were appropriately placed inside the cabin by Steve Hester. Building a huge box in the rear, Steve installed four JL Audio 13-1/2-inch W7 subwoofers powered by four JL Audio 1000/1 amps. JL Audio 6-1/2-inch separates fill the doors, and horn tweeters were placed under the dash for proper sound staging; they are powered by a JL Audio 300/4 amp.
Ten yards of real alligator hide were used to wrap Matt's seats, door panels, and headline
Keeping plenty of juice for all these 12-volt goodies is an audio-only 220amp Ohio alternator, seven yellow-top Optimas, six Rockford Fosgate capacitors, and a 450amp power supply for show power. Steve also installed a 10-inch Accele monitor in the passenger-side dash, a Pioneer head unit, and a 6-1/2-inch Accele monitor in the rear console. To illuminate the interior at shows, Steve added lights to the floorboard and rear amp enclosure, providing an ambient glow that exudes baller. With an interior befitting a king, Matt completed the show-truck equation by dropping the Escalade off to South Coast Customs for a makeover.
While at South Coast Customs, the Cadillac lost its door handles and rear hatch wiper, and had its plastic mirrors smoothed to perfection. After the prepping was complete, the crew at South Coast mixed a combination of House of Kolor Tangelo Orange and Bitter Sweet Pearl with Pagan Gold Kandy, a final color the team calls Sweet Tang. Applied to the top half, the Escalade exemplifies class while looking down on the Pearl White bottom. In between the two colors are first-class examples of Pat Maxwell's talent. Maxwell Design sprayed sick skulls and Cadillac graphics in a purple hue while adding a chrome-like stripe to break up the colors. Inside the truck, South Coast smoothed the dash, speaker box, center console, and amp rack with the appropriate colors, matching the exterior flawlessly. Endless coats of clear were applied to each piece after Pat finished the airbrushing. Completing the exterior is a wire-mesh grille with Cadillac crest, providing the proper recognition that this is the sickest Escalade on the planet.
