WHY? This 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan came to us looking to improve the sound in the vehicle, without breaking the bank. This Tiguan came equipped with the Fender system from the factory, not a bad place to start. One way to accomplish this is through sound dampening. Sound dampening has a number of advantages, including but not limited to: a reduction in rattles and vibrations, lays the foundation for future audio upgrades, Sound Shield will also help reduce road noise inside the vehicle, along with so much more! We recommend sound dampening in every vehicle, as the added sound dampening will improve the acoustic environment that is the vehicle. This customer plans on bringing the vehicle back to us in the future to upgrade the various audio components. Starting with the sound dampening is a great way to get the build started. This route will ensure the customer is getting the…

As impressive as Porsche’s are, they leave a lot to be desired in the audio department. Some may say, the sounds of the Porsche are all you need to hear while driving this vehicle; however, we beg to differ. Now, not only can our client enjoy driving he beautiful Porsche, he can enjoy crisp, high-fidelity music while doing so, if he so chooses. This project was one that looked as great as it sounded, the rear seat addition to add the sub woofer, amps, and DSP, really turned out incredible, and best of all, it looks true to the vehicle. That was the theme of this project, keep everything looking as OEM as possible. Luckily, we were able to perform this entire upgrade without making any…

We had previously installed a full audio system in his Ford Raptor, which he enjoyed before eventually selling that vehicle. Although he enjoyed that system, he wanted something more refined for this new vehicle, a 2018 Mercedes Benz G550. He recently purchased this G550 and the factory audio system was lacking clarity, depth, and impact, everything just sounded good enough. We decided to focus our attention on improving the front stage in the vehicle since the rear seat was rarely going to be utilized. We were able to design a system that provided high-fidelity audio, without sacrificing space or altering the appearance of the vehicle’s interior. WHAT? Upgraded the Front Stage Components – It’s tough to beat how incredible the Morel Supremo component speakers sound. Featuring…

When the truck pulled up to the shop and we saw that the license plate read “DUBST3P,” it was clear that we needed to deliver with the bass on this build! If you have the factory Toyota JBL audio system and you were thinking that it sounded sub-par, you are definitely not alone! During the free consultation, our System Designer, Don, was able to suggest the products that would serve our customer and meet all their needs. WHAT? Added a mono amplifier with a bass knob – We used the JL Audio XD600/1v2 to power the subwoofers in this setup. This is one of our go-to amplifiers for a few different reasons. The XD amps are ultra-compact, we can hide these amp anywhere. We were…
