Austin Lolos

Austin Lolos started car audio at the age of ten. At the time his brother had two MTX 12s in his Cavalier that sparked Austin’s current love for car audio. He continues to draw inspiration from top car audio influencers such as Jonathan Price, Exocontralto, and Steve Meade. He used to compete in Midwest SPL, where he hit a 148 dB at 36 Hz with two Ascendant Audio 12s on a DD M4a. Now he builds primarily for fun and is aiming for a 160 dB.

Sundown Zv6 15s on TWO SALT 8Ks are DESTROYING this truck!

2003 Chevy Silverado

Austin’s build is currently in a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab. Austin chose to build in the Silverado because he had never seen a 4th order wall with four 15s inside the cab of an extended cab truck and he thought it would be cool!

Electrical

The electrical currently consists of 72 AH of Lishen Lithium LTO cells. These cells are paired with two Brand X 270 A alternators. The wiring throughout the build is 1/0 OFC from Knuconceptz.
