We ran a set of Audison six-channel interconnect cables from the radio to the amplifier. The radio is mounted with an adapter that leaves it flush with the yellow center-stack trim ring. We removed the factory radio to make way for a Kenwood KDC-X302 CD receiver with Bluetooth. With the amplifier’s home complete, our fabrication team started work on the front of the truck.

Rumble Bee Radio and Speaker Upgrade The Kenwood radio was the perfect upgrade for this Ram dash. We integrated painted mesh grilles over the subwoofer and amplifier with custom contoured trim pieces wrapped in vinyl for a unique look. The last piece of work behind the seats was to create a layered trim panel to cover all the equipment. The amp rack includes a cooling fan that will ensure that the amp functions reliably, even when the volume is cranked on a hot summer day. This single-chassis system amplifier will provide up to 85 watts to each of the front and rear speakers and a healthy 400 watts to the Audiomobile subwoofer. The client had chosen an ARC Audio X2 850.5 five-channel amp. Next on the list was the task of creating a mounting location for the system amplifier. We mounted the enclosure on the driver’s side of the truck. We used birch plywood to ensure that the enclosure would be as rigid as possible and deliver tight, controlled bass. After measuring the space behind the seats, we set to work creating an enclosure for a single 10-inch GTS-Series subwoofer.

The first step in upgrading the audio system in this 2002 Ram was to construct an enclosure for the amplifier and subwoofer. In addition, the HEMI enigne is fitted with a custom gloss yellow and black engine cover with honeycomb graphic pattern.The custom enclosure enhances the interior of this truck. The unit is coupled with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. It is capable of generating 395 horsepower (290 kW) and 551 Nm (407 lb.-ft.) of torque. Under the hood of this concept is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. Two buttons below the knob manage the Mopar cat-back dual-exhaust system. When it lights up it exposes a honeycomb pattern background. The highlight in the interior is the center-piece which is an actual amber-encased bee mounted into the 8-speed rotary shifter knob. There is also visible 'Rumble Bee' lettering and Ram logos on the chairs, floor mats and door bolsters. It includes black and Drone Yellow leather sport mesh seats with two-tone yellow/light-grey stitching. The same design theme continues throughout the interior. The grille, hood vents, badging, fuel door and the dual exhaust tailpipes are coated in gloss black. The vehicle runs on 24-inch, Vellano VRH custom wheels, while the 2-inch drop which is delivered by King Suspension improves the handing performance and appearance with the help of a reservoir shock at each wheel. The stripe glides front to rear, around the top of the bed and over the Mopar tonneau cover. Gloss black stripe can be seen on both sides of the truck and it fades into honeycomb. This color flows over the entire truck including the bumpers, flares and the Mopar ground effects kit. Its exterior color is 'Drone Yellow' and this time is in unique matte finish. It is lightweight, two-door machiene with 2WD configuration. Rumble Bee concept is based on the 20 R/T. Now, Dodge is unveiling the new HEMI-powered Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept with the aim to celebrate the 10-year anniversary and the heritage of Ram's unique truck designs. The model was inspired by the Super Bee muscle car which was famous back in 1960. Ram Truck Brand introduced for the first time the Rumble Bee ten years ago.
