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)…

Subaru Crosstrek Gets an Audio Upgrade Without Losing Space
Subaru Crosstrek Gets an Audio Upgrade Without Losing Space 1440 1328 Elevated Audio

Links to all Products Used: 1. JL Audio VX700/5i 2. BLAM Under seat subwoofer (non-amplified) 3. 4-Gauge Amplifier Wiring Kit (Pure Copper) 4. DRC-205 DSP/Bass Control Knob 5. Front speakers (Factory) 6. Rear Speakers (Factory) 7. 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…

2020 Ford Super Duty Bang and Olufsen Full System Overhaul
2020 Ford Super Duty Bang and Olufsen Full System Overhaul 2560 1920 Elevated Audio

WHY?  This customer came into our shop after having shopped at some other local places and not finding what he was looking for.  He told us he wanted something with plenty of volume and good bass response. When we first jumped in his truck to listen to the factory Bang and Olufsen, he turned the volume all the way up and said it wasn’t loud enough.  This is not uncommon for us to see during the discovery phase of the consultation.  We need to get to know you and your listening preference in order to make suggestions to get you the system you’re in search of. Throughout the consultation, I learned that the customer was a huge fan of JL Audio and had used JL in most of his previous systems, so we designed a full JL Audio system with plenty of power and bass to meet the client’s needs. …

2019 Toyota Tacoma Full Sound System Upgrade
2019 Toyota Tacoma Full Sound System Upgrade 2560 1920 Elevated Audio

  WHY?  This customer contacted us from New Mexico because he could not find a shop near his area that could deliver what he was looking for. The vehicle was a 2019 Tacoma, which luckily we are very familiar with, but building an audio system via phone calls can be a bit challenging.  Luckily, we were able to discuss his past experience with audio in vehicles, but also his interest level in music and audio in general. I find that a lot of our customers are huge music lovers, but have never heard a properly designed and tuned audio system in a vehicle.  This client absolutely loved music and car audio, and unlike most, he had  heard a system in the past that was tuned  using a DSP (Digitally Signal Processed). WHAT? Replaced front door speakers – We replaced the front 2-way component speakers with the 6.5” Morel Virtus speakers. …

Obtaining audio bliss by adding one component.
Obtaining audio bliss by adding one component. 2022 1354 Elevated Audio

A recent poll asked members of a popular car enthusiast group the following question – ” What ONE piece of stereo equipment could you add or upgrade in your vehicle to achieve the most noticeable difference in your quest of better audio?” The results showed me that, as a leading shop in our industry, we have our work cut out for us in educating most customers that schedule an audio design consultation with us. There were four options to choose from: speakers, stereo, DSP, and amplifiers. The results: 42% of vote to Speakers 33% of vote to Stereo 17% of vote to DSP 8% of vote to Amplifiers Now, while all of the choices above would play a role in effecting the audio quality, there is one that I believe makes the most noticeable difference hands down. Here is my list in order of least importance to highest. STEREO Ah…
