A 'minor upgrade' to my truck's stereo spiraled into a full reference-grade SQ build. I wanted a way to tell that story live — so I built an interactive kiosk, vibe-coded with Lovable, that walks viewers through every chapter of the build on a touchscreen.

The project began as a concept: put the whole build journal — vision, design, wiring, tuning — into something people could actually walk up to and explore. An LG touchscreen at a car-audio SQ competition became the perfect venue.

The kiosk opens on a chaptered journal. Six chapters take you from the VISION that started it all to the SOUND of the final tune. But the real centerpiece is the System Map: a full signal-path and power-distribution schematic of the 2021 F-150 — every Helix, Arc Audio, and JL Audio component, with color-coded lines for power, ground, digital, RCA, and speaker-level signal.

It's the project I'm proudest of shipping into the real world — a story told not on a laptop, but on a screen in the middle of a competition hall.
