Modus, in collaboration with fabricator Jaren Digos of Delta Concepts, has achieved several industry firsts with its 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build. Modus says the project demonstrates its innovative PREACT Current Averaging Technology operating directly on Tesla’s 48V DC electrical system, marking a significant advancement in mobile audio integration with electric vehicles.
The installation delivers 6,000 watts (RMS) of audio power without requiring voltage inverters or additional batteries, a first for any Cybertruck audio system, according to the press release. The company says this achievement was made possible through Modus’s patented PREACT technology in the new Mezzo amplifier line, which operates with unprecedented efficiency at higher voltages.
“Growing up around car audio my entire life, I learned a lot from watching industry veterans like my dad (Jason Digos, Modus senior sales trainer), Tony D’Amore, and the team at DiamondBoxx push the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Jaren. “Now, working with Modus on this Cybertruck project feels like everything’s coming full circle. When I first heard about PREACT technology and what it could do with Tesla’s 48-volt system, I knew this was a chance to do something that hadn’t been done before.”
The Modus Cybertruck Build
The build features the first-ever Cybertruck “blow-through” subwoofer design. Four 12-inch Modus Apex AXW-12 subwoofers are housed in a 7.5-cubic-foot ported enclosure, integrated into the vehicle’s “vault” and ported directly into the cabin. This design maintains the Cybertruck’s utility while delivering exceptional bass response, noted the release.
The amplifier installation, housed in the “frunk,” consists of two 8-channel MZA-8 and two MZA-1 mono amplifiers mounted on a custom-fabricated steel rack. The rack is secured to existing factory mounting points and includes current and voltage meters, allowing real-time monitoring of the system’s power consumption.
Perhaps most notable is the system’s wiring. The minimal current draw and high-input voltage efficiency allowed the use of 14AWG power and ground wire to the amplifiers, which is a significant departure from traditional high-power audio systems that require much larger gauge wiring.
“Watching Jaren take what he learned growing up in this industry and apply it to a project like this is pretty special,” added Jason. “He came to me with this idea for the Cybertruck, and I knew right away it would showcase exactly what makes Modus different. As both a father and someone who’s dedicated their career to car audio, seeing him push the boundaries of what’s possible with our technology is something that I’ll never forget.”
The Modus Cybertruck debuted during the Modus brand launch event in March 2025. It will be featured in upcoming industry events and technical demonstrations throughout 2025, showcasing the practical applications of Modus’ technologies in the emerging electric vehicle market.
