I think I left some of my liver in Hope, but the rest of me made it home just fine. It's right at 5 hours from here. Not a bad drive at all.

Fjd Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Kevin doesn't play around, apparently. That set-up sure makes for a “high octane” surround system. Edited April 4, 2015 by Fjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin...your shop is nuts.....and I thought my auto shop jumps with my KP362's....wow Kevin...just wow!! OH yea....I'll take the 442 also lol lol MKP :-) I have been fortunate enough to spend several hours several times in that shop with Kevin. That is Kevin in his blue Dentist scrubs. If you look real close in the picture, you will see Kevins TSCMs back behind the KP-600s and his Motengators are kept back there as well. As for Kevins 442, he has taken me on several rides, he took that car on Hot Rods Power tour before and his Dad helped him build the 455 in it, so that car will stay with him for life! Kevin also has an industrial air conditioner on the back of that shop that is physically larger than the 442 that can cool the whole shop in about 10 minutes. The shop is 30 by 120 if I remember correctly and Kev has a pair of early 50s Klipshorns up front in the office as well as more deer head and other mounts!

I know at least a couple guys there will have digital if nothing else. Carl, If memory server me correctly, Kevin has a CD player in his amp rack. I hope someone brings a method to hook up an IPOD as I am bringing my 15 year old daughter with me and I am sure she would like to listen to some of her songs as well!
