When you spend more money on your car's music system than on the car itself

I have to admit that, whether out of my passion for cars or simply my curiosity, I am one of those people who, at any meeting, gathering or event where dozens of vehicles come together, usually tries to make room to attend, whether they are classic car meets, supercar gatherings or tuning events.

It is precisely at tuning meets that you can find real disasters as well as truly impressive work. Even so, it has always caught my attention how there are people who are capable of spending enormous amounts of money modifying a vehicle, amounts that on certain occasions can even exceed the value of the vehicle itself.

One example of this is the Mercedes Vito you can see in the image, specifically one of those known as a show car which, perhaps, stands out least for the performance of its engine: a 3.0-litre V6 diesel capable of delivering 221 CV and 440 Nm of maximum torque, since the system installed by Pioneer is valued at approximately 30,500 euros

According to its creators, the system consists of two 15-inch SPL subwoofers, along with four 10-inch speakers from the Champion series, all designed to achieve a bass response that is clear, powerful and reaches a very wide range. Naturally, the system is completed with a mixing console, eight amplifiers, four batteries, and a 300-amp power supply… enough to deliver a power output of 30,050 watts

Perhaps to add a bit more flair to the build, details have been included such as a Brabus sport steering wheel, upholstered in black leather with a Brabus emblem, chrome side bars, a sport exhaust, metallic paint, tinted windows, bumpers modified and painted in the body colour, large alloy wheels and a new chrome grille.

Enough? In other words, I had never seen anything similar: boots full of speakers with not even room to leave a hand bag, but you need to carry a complete mobile disco with you. Surely some will say yes, but perhaps that is because they are barely over 18 years old.
