Sweet Sounds Photo Mashup: 1,400+ Images from the 2000s and Beyond

After we released “The First Ten Years, 1993–2003” we started getting a bunch of “okay… where’s the rest?” messages. 😄 The problem is: it takes forever to sort and arrange decades of photos by year, vehicle, and event. But it doesn’t take long to put together a fun, randomized mashup.

So… may I present another 1,400+ photos of cool projects, fun shows, great parades, and good times at Sweet Sounds in Mankato, Minnesota. 🎥

It’s mostly mid-2000s content—when we were cranking out car audio builds, motorcycle audio upgrades, parade/demo vehicles, and competition setups—but you’ll also spot some newer pieces sprinkled in, even a few all the way up to 2020. One day we’ll go back and sort it all by year and vehicle… but for now, it’s meant to be enjoyed.

As always, good comments are welcome—tell us what vehicle you owned, which show you were at, or what gear you spotted.

What You’ll See in This Mashup

• Custom car audio installs—trunks, hatches, amps, subs, processors
• Motorcycle audio (Harley & other touring bikes) with fairing kits and bag speakers
• Marine / pontoon / surf / wake boat systems with tower speakers and subwoofers
• Parade and demo vehicles we took to local events around Southern Minnesota
• A few dB Drag Racing throwbacks from our competition days
• Shop, staff, and customer photos from the 2000s era
• A mix of “work-in-progress” photos and final glamor shots

This is real-world, in-the-bay, “we actually built this” content—nothing AI, nothing stock.
