MKIV Toyota Supra: NEMESIS, Built to Perform and Tuned to Dominate

Build: Team Luxury Motorsports USA | Audio Partner: Kicker Audio

A Legend Gets Louder

The MKIV Toyota Supra doesn't need an introduction. Iconic lines, a turbocharged engine that has been the benchmark of JDM performance for decades, and a motorsport legacy that still turns heads wherever it goes — it arrived legendary and has only grown in status since.

NEMESIS is no exception to that legacy. Built by Team Luxury Motorsports USA with a single goal in mind — to dominate — this MKIV Supra is hailing four-digit rear wheel horsepower. But when Kicker Audio stepped in, the build evolved into something more than just a street weapon. This is a car that performs hard and sounds harder. Precision audio meets performance engineering in a package that's fast, punchy, and built to stop traffic before it even opens the door.

The 2JZ — Still the Benchmark

Under that iconic bonnet sits the engine that made the MKIV Supra a global icon — the legendary 2JZ. In standard twin-turbo form it was already a serious performance unit, and its internal strength made it a tuner's dream. Team Luxury Motorsports USA have taken that foundation and pushed it to four-digit territory at the rear wheels, a number that puts this car in very serious company regardless of badge, price point, or pedigree.

The 2JZ has always been capable of power figures that embarrass cars costing ten times as much. NEMESIS is proof that the legend isn't overstated.

Inside the Cockpit — Kicker Audio Precision

This Supra doesn't just sound aggressive out on the road — it sounds incredible inside too. The audio system has been put together with the same mindset as the rest of the build: balance, clarity, and no compromises.

Kicker Audio's involvement here isn't a badge-sticking exercise. Every component has been selected to work together, tuned for daily driving and show floor performance in equal measure — enough bass to feel through the seat, with clarity that cuts through every rev the 2JZ throws at it.

Audio System

• 2x Kicker 51KSS6504 KS Series Separates — crisp highs, rich mids, tight imaging
• 2x Kicker 48CWR122 CompR 12" Subwoofers — deep, hard-hitting bass in a compact footprint
• Kicker 46CXA12001T Mono Amplifier — dedicated power to both CompR subs, clean and reliable
• Kicker 46CXA3604 4-Channel Amplifier — full-range power to the KS Series components
• Kicker 46PWG4100 4AWG Pure Copper Power Wire Kit — maximum current transfer, minimal loss

The KS Series separates handle the top end with genuine clarity — these aren't filler components filling space between the subwoofers, they're a full-range solution that images properly and reproduces mids with real texture. Paired with a dedicated four-channel amplifier, the front stage in NEMESIS holds its own at any volume.

The two CompR 12" subwoofers are the muscle. Driven by a Kicker mono amplifier with more than enough headroom, they deliver the kind of low-end that you feel in your chest without bloating the boot or compromising the car's overall character. The 4AWG pure copper wiring throughout means the power actually gets where it needs to go — no voltage sag, no clipping, no excuses.

The Goal — Balance, Not Bulk

What makes the NEMESIS audio build genuinely interesting is what it isn't. It isn't an oversized demo vehicle stuffed with as many subwoofers as physically possible. It isn't a show car that sacrifices usability for spectacle.

This MKIV Supra stays true to what it was always supposed to be — a JDM weapon with performance at its core. The Kicker system enhances the driving experience rather than fighting against it. The boot isn't buried under custom fabrication. The cabin isn't cluttered with amp racks and exposed wiring. The system fits the car, in every sense.

That balance is harder to achieve than it looks. Most high-output audio builds at this level choose between performance and liveability. The NEMESIS build manages both, which is a credit to the installation as much as the components themselves.

Kicker Performance. Supra Soul.

What Team Luxury Motorsports USA and Kicker have built here is a proper pairing — JDM performance and American audio innovation working together rather than competing with each other. Four-digit rear wheel horsepower from a 2JZ that has been pushed to the edge of what the block can handle. An audio system that delivers genuine fidelity at genuine volume without apology.

Whether NEMESIS is dominating a street circuit or drawing a crowd at a car show, it delivers on every front. The sound hits as hard as the engine. The build is as clean as the power figures are aggressive.

Kicker inside. Legend outside. Performance all around.

Kicker — Living Loud.
