Team Gates Exhibits at 2005 World Finals
For Immediate Release
9/8/2005
The infamous Team Gates bronco will be on display in the JBL booth at the 2005 dB Drag Racing World Finals.
Months after CNN and other national press dubbed her the “Boom Box Granny,” Alma Gates’ Bronco emerged with an all-new look – and sound. The exterior of the Bronco features full-range audio, delivering concert-worthy performance. JBL Pro speakers are mounted underneath each of the Bronco’s doors, while the cargo area is home to six W15GTi 15-inch subwoofers. Also inside, and further playing up the Bronco’s “wow” factor: a combination of JBL c508GTi component system speakers and JBL Pro 2118H speakers, two television monitors and a DVD player. But it doesn’t end there. Seven JBL Power Series® and GTi amplifiers deliver almost 25 horsepower – that’s nearly 20,000 watts – of audio amplification.
There are two audio systems in Gates’ Bronco. The PA system outside is enough to rock any neighborhood block party while, at the flip of a switch, the inside system provides high-quality 7.1 surround playback.
