1984 Volvo 240 DL Custom Audio System
1984 Volvo 240 DL Custom Audio System 2049 1537 Elevated Audio

WHY? This client brought us his Volvo in 2018 for an audio upgrade, but had to settle for a more modest upgrade than he had hoped for.  He had heard one of our demo vehicle’s at the time and decided he needed that sound in his Volvo at some point in the future. Fast forward a couple years and the Volvo is back at Elevated Audio for a first-class audio upgrade.  This vehicle’s new audio system sounded fantastic and the additions made to the door panels look seamless. WHAT? Upgraded the Front Stage and Fabricated Custom Door Panels – One of my favorite projects to ever leave the Elevated Audio install bay, these custom door panels truly looked incredible when they were done.  From the factory, the vehicle came with a four inch speaker in each front door, while we needed to fit three new speakers in each door.  Our…

The Best Sounding Chevy Colorado in Colorado!
The Best Sounding Chevy Colorado in Colorado! 2560 1920 Elevated Audio

WHY?  Our client with this Chevrolet Colorado came to us looking for an audio upgrade, not knowing exactly what he was looking for in terms of an audio experience.  We discussed some options over the phone during the quarantine period and decided on a basic upgrade consisting of new front and rear speakers, a modest bass addition, and a 5-channel amp to run the entire system. Once we were finally able to re-open the shop for consultations and installations, this customer came in to listen to the system he  had decided on over the phone.  During the in-vehicle audio demonstration, we went through all of the possibilities, and it did not take long for him to realize he wanted a better audio experience than he had originally planned on purchasing. The only way to truly appreciate a car audio system that has been tuned using a DSP (Digital Signal Processor)…

Sound Deadening- 2 Rolls SoundShield WHY?  This customer came to us with his 2019 Subaru Crosstrek wanting to improve the audio in his vehicle, without sacrificing ANY space.  His Subaru came with the standard factory audio system, which leaves a lot to be desired. During the free ono-on-one consultation, we were able to recommend different options, including options that take up space.  Sometimes a customer’s idea of a subwoofer is a giant box in the cargo area; however, we have ways of adding clean low-end bass without sacrificing much space at all.  Ultimately, we want to deliver the best sound possible, but within the client’s parameters, and that’s exactly what we did on this…

2017 Toyota Tacoma Gets an Essential Bass Upgrade!
2017 Toyota Tacoma Gets an Essential Bass Upgrade! 1440 1439 Elevated Audio

WHY?  This customer contacted us wanting to improve the bass in her truck, even though her Tacoma came with the Premium JBL factory audio system.  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…

2006 Saab 9-3 Radar+Laser Protection and Full Audio System Overhaul
2006 Saab 9-3 Radar+Laser Protection and Full Audio System Overhaul 2560 1920 Elevated Audio

WHY?  This customer is a Saab enthusiast, and this is the second Saab he has brought into the shop for upgrades.  This time he brought in a 2006 Saab 9-3 that he was restoring back to showroom quality.  Not that the vehicle was in rough, because it wasn’t, but he now has this vehicle looking immaculate. The vehicle is a convertible, so we knew we needed to provide plenty of power to the front stage in order to have plenty of safe volume with the top down.  He also wanted something that imaged really well and would not lose its quality at louder volumes.  Lastly, he wanted to use the factory head unit and keep everything else looking completely stock when we were done. During the one-on-one consultation process, Aaron and Don were able to come up solutions that blew away the client’s expectations while keeping the interior appearing as…
