Video: Plug In. Turn On. Jam Out.

CarDomain member Jamminwagon has a love of cars, car stereo, and rock-n-roll. So why not combine all three? He upgraded the system in Magnum with a slew of Alpine gear and a massive Treo subwoofer, and even added a jack for electric guitar! Slash would be proud. In the video below, "Jammin" gives us a medley of a few rock tracks - The man has skills!

New Palm Centro To Feature XM Radio Streaming

The inexpensive Palm Centro has been getting rave reviews on all the mobile phone and gadget blogs, and the fact that it comes in at $99 is pretty darn amazing. Originally the phone was only offered by Sprint, but now AT&T has a version of their own, and with it comes exclusive services as well as exclusive colors (for now anyway). The pearl white Centro is available now, and "obsidian" version will be available shortly. The phone features a touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, green illuminated buttons, and this is also the first phone to offer streaming XM radio. Sprint offered Sirius on a few phones a while back, but I'm not sure if they still do. I had it on my A900, but I never tried it once. However, the Centro is more multimedia friendly than my A900 as it 64MB of on board memory, but you can also toss in up to a 4GB microSD card.
If anybody picks up one of these phones, I'd be curious to hear some feedback in the forums. What do you think? Like It? Hate it?

Pretty Perfect IS300 with Plenty of Punch Inside & Out

Josh and the guys at JML Audio just wrapped up a pretty damn impressive install in a 2002 Lexus IS300. First off, this is no show queen. In the end, the owner wanted a car that was "trackable, showable, and daily drivable". The car is loaded with a complete Clarion multimedia/navigation system with all the trimmings, Dynaudio speakers with custom grilles, Zapco amps mounted on a custom steel rack, Treo subs in custom-fit fiberglass enclosures, and Stinger wiring to tie it all together. But don't go thinking this is an all-show-no-go enthusiast car.... This Lex sports a turbocharged 2JZ motor, standalone Motec M4 engine management system, a HUGE front-mount intercooler, and pumps out about 540hp at the wheels!

A lot of the underhood work was already completed when it arrived, but JML cleaned up some of the previous work and, along with the full ICE install, put in over 300 hours of custom work. So not only did they create an amazing install (pics after the jump), but they also changed out dash lighting, worked on the turbo's wiring, fabricated a custom gauge pod and a battery housing, and added a set of beautiful Recaro racing seats. In the end, the customer was elated with the amazing work JML performed, and for good reason. Check it out for yourself - pics after the jump!

Treo's Demo Truck is Really Small

Treo had this gi-normous International demo truck in their booth at CES. This was THE single largest demo vehicle at the show. Treo loaded it up with their subs, speakers, and amps, refinished the interior in custom black and tan leather, and finished the exterior off with custom-mounted 32" LCD's all along the outside.

This Boat Goes up to 11... Maybe Even 12!

For a typical boat owner, four coaxial speakers and a CD player is considered enough. People who want more might add an amplifier and a set of tower speakers, then call it good. But the guys at JML Audio in St. Louis, MO got a customer who wanted to be able to turn his 26' Sea Ray boat all the way up to 11, so Joshua Landau and his team designed and integrated a system which includes a laundry list of awesome gear. The boat is packing five Zapco amplifiers, two Clarion CD players, dual Clarion audiophile CD changers, two iPods, a pair of Clarion satellite radio tuners, a Microsoft Xbox, 16 Dynaudio and Treo speakers and a 19" LCD monitor. A little over the top? Sure. But what else would you expect from one of the top 100 installers and top 50 audio retailers in the US?
