2013 VW Golf: Bass package for a former car audio technician

When they leave our field, they know where they want to get work done because we are the technician’s choice!

The owner of this Golf came to us with a build with some equipment he ordered and some in storage that he described. We switched to some of our components once we actually started the build and the components were retrieved from storage. We provided a modest amplifier, as ours was much smaller than the one he initially was going to use and had in storage and there was no room for it and have a hidden installation. We selected a high end piece to do the amplifier integration with the factory radio and ensure the best signal quality possible.

We were also tasked with building a custom trunk panel so that the subwoofer could breathe and the factory piece would not have to be modified. Our finished panel was factory fit and finish [...]

This discerning father and son approached us wanting to improve sound quality as a birthday present. We came up with a solution to deliver a marked improvement in the sound quality within a reasonable budget. We did not change the factory radio but added an amplifier, modified the door panels to provide enhanced sound but still look well integrated (component speaker upgraded where there was no factory component location) and added a single subwoofer under the rear seat. The rear stage was left factory but we pre-wired the installation so an upgrade of the rear speakers at a later date would require minimal duplicate work on our part to save the son as much as possible (that part of the build is going to get funded by his summer job).

This long time customer in home and commercial audio/video integration brought us their new Sprinter Van for a number of upgrades over the first year that they had it in service. Over the past months, when the van was in town and not on the road, we added a custom subwoofer enclosure and five channel amplifier, door speakers, backup camera, new AV receiver and a power inverter to keep them entertained on the road and able to do the work they need to.

We usually only have it long enough to get the installation done and have not had a chance to snap photos of all the different components installed but did manage to get one of the inverter before they reconfigured the interior work space again.

We see a common theme with the newer Volkswagens…sound quality (or quantity) doesn’t quite seem to be enough for the music enthusiast…

Having done some work for this customer’s vehicle (inverter installation), naturally, he came back a few days later after demoing some of our subwoofers. We ended up trying a couple of subwoofers in the trunk to find one that was both small and powerful enough for him.

He finally settled on a custom enclosure and carpet to match the OEM Volkswagen as closely as possible which we have made specifically for our current line of subwoofers. The amplifier and wiring were sized appropriately to ensure longevity and provide appropriate performance for subwoofer we selected together.

A long time customer needed to refresh his subwoofer and enclosure. We started with the same model of high-power subwoofer that he was accustomed to and built the appropriate enclosure to specification. Only high quality American 3/4″ MDF will do for such a project. Having fabricated many custom enclosures for both our current products as well as subwoofers we don’t normally stock, this project was a challenge only in ensuring that the enclosure could be removed and would fit as best as possible in the trunk space provided.

Next steps for this project will include new wiring, amplifier and appropriate tuning.

This customer came all the way from Fayetteville, NC just to work with our shop because he heard of our excellent customer service. He had a huge system in his old Camaro and wanted to get all the pieces from it installed into his new GMC vehicle. We did the work spread across a few visits to help him manage the project in his budget.

Visit #1: Install his high end component speakers in the front doors
Visit #2: Fabricate custom subwoofer enclosure for three 3″ subs (600W x 3 = 1800W)
Visit #3: OEM audio integration, amplifier installations, and component speakers for rear doors

This customer came to us wanting improved sound in their Mustang. The stock Shaker system was inadequate for their taste (especially when the OEM system in their other vehicle was better).

A new CD receiver, amplifier, full set of speakers and subwoofer was just what they needed to fill their ears with great sound with the wind in their hair. On time and on budget is what we did and the smiles were endless when they heard their new sound system for the the first time.

The owner of this Ford Ranger came to us wanting to replace the standard Ford radio with a smaller and more up to date receiver. He also had a request to be able to install and integrate a radio transmitter (as he is a licensed radio operator). Having done many similar radios in the past, we knew we could give him a great result.

Our technician modified a standard installation kit to provide a nice appearance and sturdy mount for his transceiver. Then we installed the CD receiver with Bluetooth and routed the antenna appropriately for the transmitter. Once completed, we waited for the owner to power up and test the radio and he was very satisfied with our custom integration for him!

This customer wanted fog lights installed in his new Lexus F Sport but they were not an option from the factory, so our team came to the rescue!

We custom fitted fog lights while providing a proper installation of the wiring to ensure longevity and proper operation. The installation work is presentable such that there would be no question about the quality of workmanship if it goes back to the Lexus dealership for routine service.
