2006 Chevrolet Colorado – "LOONEYTUNEZ"


This 2006 Chevy Colorado wasn't supposed to be a show truck. I bought it wrecked with one goal in mind—a cheap daily driver to get me back and forth to work. After repairing the body and giving it a fresh paint job, I figured I'd add a single blow-through 15 just for fun.
That didn't last long.


The next year, the system grew to two 15s. Then the idea hit me: What if I crammed the biggest system I've ever owned into the smallest truck I've ever owned?


So that's exactly what I did.


Today, the truck is built around three SoundQubed Team Neo 15-inch subwoofers powered by three SoundQubed Q1-8000 amplifiers, delivering an incredible amount of power. The mids and highs are loaded with SoundQubed HDX mids and compression horns, driven by two F4-4400 amplifiers and an S4-100.
The result is an absolute demo monster. It's a truck that never fails to turn heads, shake the ground, and leave people smiling. It also has a reputation for breaking parts on the truck and shattering windshields whenever it gets the chance. What started as a wrecked commuter has become one of the wildest builds I've ever created—a rolling reminder that sometimes the craziest projects begin with the simplest plans.
