My buddy over at Orion just sent me a few pics of their newest demo, a pimped GMC Yukon, to celebrate and show-off the all-new Cobalt line and serve as a mobile demo for HD Radio. The new Cobalt line was first introduced during CES 2008 back in January, and features great look and sound for not a lot of dough. The Yukon's install features a pretty elaborate box and amp rack in the rear hatch, and can pound out the lows! Keep your eyes open as this truck should start making rounds through the show scene and stereo shops soon. If you've never had an opportunity to experience the CD sound quality of HD radio on a killer sounding audio system, then keep an eye out for this Yukon!
Check out a small gallery of the Yukon and the install after the jump!

If you're looking to add a custom touch to your car audio install, make sure to check out Bassforms vehicle-specific custom fiberglass enclosures. They have a pretty decent selection available for a wide range of makes and models, along with a few universal options as well. The boxes come pre-gel-coated, but can be re-painted if you want to match your exterior color or some interior theme. We used Bassform's right and left corner box for our 2006 SEMA Scion tC. The fit was pretty spot on, and they sounded incredible.
And now Chevy Cobalt owners can re-joice as Bassforms has just announced a new dual-12" box available for 2005 and up Cobalts. The box offers a 1.3 cu. ft. of air space, perfect for many of today's smaller-enclosure requirements, and is only 8-inches deep. Oh yeah, and these pics show the box color-matched to the example Cobalt, but the boxes actually ship painted a glossy metallic black.
Follow the jump for more details and a few more pics!

Orion teamed up with Syndicate Automotive to debut the new 2008 Orion Cobalt line, and the their demo vehicle looks really sick. Syndicate mounted a Kenwood DNX7100 in the dash to handle navigation and multimedia, an Orion Cobalt 6.5" in each door, and they completed the block rocking system with a pair of 12" Cobalt subs in the rear. Syndicate also added sinister flair to the interior with custom air brush work, and the exterior continued the theme with smoked taillights and turn signals, rugged PIAA off-road lighting, insanely tough ARB bumpers and rock rails, and 17" black XD Revolver wheels. Check out more pics after the jump.
