Our biggest project so far has definitely been the vehicle students affectionately call "The Beast" for short. As you can probably tell from the knickname, DMTCs 2000 Lexus RX300, competes in the MECA's SPL division. It has already taken home several trophies and broken the 150dB barrier.


The system has four Memphis MC-1500.1 amps each driving a Memphis Mojo 15. All of this is mounted in a custom built "ported" enclosure. This setup, along with Boston's GT-40 4 channel amp for the door speakers, puts our total system power at over 6000 watts!


Our electrical system needs all the help it can get to push this kind of power. We start with an XS Power D3400 primary battery, and then added four D975 back-up batteries. In addition, the vehicle also has a 200A Powermaster alternator. These vehicle modifications provide excellent opportunities to reinforce electrical principles learned in class.


Our sponsors for this project are Memphis Boston, Tsunami/Metra,  Powermaster, Monster Cable, and XS Power. All these great companies have generously given of their time and equipment. We look forward to turning some heads and  getting them more of the recognition they deserve.


Our goal for 2010 is to win another MECA State Championship!
