The Nokturnal Car Club is a huge part of Tony Reynaga's life. As a matter of fact, he's so dedicated to Nokturnal that not only is he the head of the Bakersfield, Calif. chapter, the man known to his friends and fellow members as Scooby also had the club's name tattooed on his forearm. And when the club needed a rig to give other members' projects a trailer ride to different shows, Scooby went out and bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 4X4. With the car show lifestyle engrained deep into his blood,  Scooby's Cummins-powered hauler was not only getting other vehicles to different events all over the state, but when it got there it was winning some trophies of its own.

When it comes to scoring points with judges, subtle isn't usually the best way to grab attention. Knowing that, Scooby took his Ram over the top in an initial five-month long build. Since first completing the project, he has continued to add more audio and visual equipment and has no plans to stop. The way it sits now, the wild Dodge is packing 12,000 watts of MA Audio power in a presentation that includes gallons upon gallons of Alsa paint sprayed onto the body panels in a scheme almost as loud as the stereo.

Just to reiterate, we did say 12,000 watts. To put that into perspective, it's the same amount of power the typical IMAX theatre is equipped with. All of that juice comes from four 800-watt MA Audio amplifiers pushing various 5 1/2- 6- and 6 1/2-inch components scattered through the cabin and truck bed, also from MA Audio. If that wasn't enough, Scooby added a pair of 4,400-watt MA Audio amps to power nine 12-inch subwoofers. The daunting task of cramming that kind of equipment in the limited space of a crew cab Ram was handled by Noise Custom Car Audio in Bakersfield, Calif.

Keeping up with the strain that much juice puts on the electrical system are six Kinetik batteries. Because Kinetik designs their batteries mainly for high-wattage mobile applications, they are rated in wattage instead of cold cranking amps. Scooby has a pretty penny invested in the high-end car audio batteries, running two of Kinetik's 1,800-watt batteries and four of their 2,400-watt models.

Scooby didn't stop at audio; the visual system is on par with the over-the-top theme of the Dodge. Noise fiberglassed 7-inch monitors into each of the four doors along with installing a 32-inch LCD screen in the bed of the truck. The Alpine head unit not only provides the entire system with a feed, it also adds yet another screen. Scooby did his own fabrication work to get huge 17-inch LCD screens to fit into the back of the headrests. On the other side of the headrests are smaller monitors to bring the grand total to 10 different ways to enjoy video stimulation.
