This system, which includes five amplifiers, 16 loudspeakers and a pair of 30-cm diameter subwoofers, is capable of producing ear-blasting outputs of 5,720 Watts and 150 decibels. A trio of [JBL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-aygo-x-jbl-special-edition) GTO 8044 EZ amplifiers work with the tweets and mid-range speakers, with mid-range speakers integrated into the dashboards and doors. A [pair of amps power the subwoofers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audac), which are deftly stashed inside the car's rear luggage compartment. The Smart Forgigs is not slated to become a production car, but is really a study and exploration of the limits of automotive audio engineering. The car could potentially be used as a 'concert halls on wheels' or perhaps as a mobile amplifier for street musicians. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **High-performance Audio Systems:** The rise of high-performance audio systems in automobiles presents an opportunity for innovators to develop advanced sound technology for immersive in-car experiences. - **Mobile Entertainment:** The creation of concept cars with powerful sound systems opens up the possibility of mobile entertainment solutions, where vehicles can be transformed into on-the-go concert venues or immersive audio experiences. - **Audio Engineering Innovations:** The Smart Forgigs concept car demonstrates the potential for disruptive audio engineering innovations that push the boundaries of in-car sound systems, presenting opportunities for companies to develop cutting-edge audio technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can benefit from the concept of sound-blasting cars by integrating high-performance audio systems into production vehicles, creating unique selling points for car manufacturers. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry has the opportunity to explore new possibilities for mobile entertainment experiences by leveraging powerful sound systems in concept cars, creating immersive and interactive audiovisual experiences. - **Audio Technology:** The audio technology industry can capitalize on the demand for high-quality sound experiences by developing innovative audio engineering solutions and advanced sound technology for concept cars and production vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ludicrously Loud Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loud-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Audio Brand City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-aygo-x-jbl-special-edition.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Smart Car Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-steering-wheel-speaker.md) - [Intuitive Car Audio Software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-audio-software.md) - [Bespoke Car-Matching Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-gt-x-ixoost-speaker.md) - [Studio-Branded Vehicle Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abbey-road-sound-system.md) - [Music-Focused E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noordung-boombox.md) - [Tactile Audio Vehicle Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sv-edition-one.md) - [Luxury Car Brand Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-design-911.md)
