Eric's favorite color is yellow. He already has an HT2-based home theater set-up, but one day asked if we would ever consider doing a "custom" pair of SongTowers is his favorite shade of yellow. "Of course we would," I said.
He also requested black pin stripes but didn't know exactly what to do. One of our staff members, John Fallows, is a car nut. So we went online and he found pictures of some old Dodge Superbees from the 70's done in yellow and black. He also pointed out that the Dodge R/T's often use the same color combination.
So we played with pin striping on the computer and came up with a design that reminded us of the type of simple, but not subtle graphics, these cars are known for.
Originally I thought of mixing some gold metalflake in the topcoat. But the Superbees were done in an era before metalflake became fashionable.
Here's a look at the results...
These speakers are now on their way to Las Vegas. Happy listening Eric!
