MTX Heats Up Heat Wave! (Pt 2)

Part One of our "MTX Heats Up Heat Wave" gave you a look at the amazing Lamborghini Nova Blue Nissan Titan, and now we'll show you the rest of the line-up: two smokin' hot Escalades and a bagged and dropped Chevy S10. All of the installs in these trucks were simply over-the-top, each with their own appeal. The matte black Escalade is still my favorite of this group because the paint and overall theme is so well laid out. The custom paint on the wheels are pretty crazy - the matte paint gives them an unreal, almost cartoonish look.

MTX Heats Up Heat Wave! (Pt 1)

Over the weekend I was down in Austin, TX for the Custom Sounds Texas Heat Wave. The show was much larger than I anticipated, a good thing of course, and I did my best to shoot every single car, truck, motorcycle, and whatever else looked cool. Many car audio and car and truck performance manufacturers were on hand to show off their products and demo vehicles, but none impressed me more than MTX's assault on the show.

They brought an arsenal of custom trucks for their booth, each displaying jaw-dropping style and eardrum splitting sound systems. The cartoon-like matte black Escalade that debuted during CES was on hand, along with a red and black Escalade equipped with the legendary 22" Jackhammers. And a bagged and dumped Chevy S10 extended cab had an awesome industrial-styled install with crazy doors, a blow-through box, and a bed full of amps and video screens. But even with all of those amazing demo cars, nothing impressed me more than the Lamborghini-blue completely custom Nissan Titan you see above (with more pics after the jump!), built by Kustomz Unlimited, Inc of Garland, TX.   

From The Manufacturer's Mouth: re-Q5 Explained

With all the new OEM integration products coming to market recently, it can be confusing which one is right for your install. One of the more recent products to come to market is the new re-Q⁵. They have a great website dedicated to the re-Q family of products, but I wanted to know more so I hit up the guys at re-Q for a better explanation.

Why would you use the re-Q⁵ over some other product? What benefits does the re-Q⁵ offer? Why the heck would I even use one of these? Can't I just drop-in an amp, subs and new speakers to my car? Isn't a product like this just overkill?? Nope. Absolutely not. Follow the jump to find out why!

MTX MMA Fighter Advances to The Ultimate Fighter 7

While at CES we got a chance to check out MTX's MMA fighters. If you've never checked this stuff out, these guys are harder than nails and meaner than a rabid pit bull on steroids. Spike TV has a pretty popular reality show featuring some of the top fighters (I'm sure most of you have seen it), and now CB Dollaway, one of MTX's sponsored fighters, has made the cut and will appear in the upcoming 7th season. Check out the full press release after the jump.
