The focus shifted to the audio install where partners JVC pitched in to help. They began with a JVC KW NT1 double din head unit w/ Navi and Bluetooth to handle the media management. The signals then head to a JVC Arsenal 800W Digital power mono amp which feed a single 10-inch JVC Arsenal sub in the factory Nissan Organizer enclosure. The JVC Arsenal 600W 4-channel amp lights up 6.5-inch JVC Arsenal component speakers mounted front and rear. The end result is a space and weight saving system that definitely drops doom on the equation. ATI made a big splash at SEMA ’09 with their expanded booth and new STRI products. The CUBE and their project M3 were also in attendance to draw some attention to their products. And then there was their booth model Corissa Furr, who had a mob of fans following her everywhere she went, which meant only more traffic for ATI.
