Scary installs

A testimonial and some pictures from our customer in Louisiana.

"Took my time getting the audio upgrade done, but it's finally complete!. Here's a quick writeup (this is also referenced in less detail in the indie service centers thread within the Dealer Ratings sub forum)...

After taking ownership of my 03 Murci last year it became clear that the OEM stereo just wasn't going to cut it. I installed an Alpine iDA-X305S head unit myself, which was super easy (especially once I got a few tips from Infamous aka James from Mobile Addictions in NY). It's a great head unit and has Pandora support from the iphone. Catch there is the iphone is a POS and until Apple gets their firmware straight it experiences sound "drop out" every minute or so. No worries though, as I connect my ipod and it works just fine. 

That got me along for a bit but it's been a while since I've had a car with a quality audio system in it, so the hunger for good sound grew stronger with every drive I took. My last car, an Exige S, I spent some time ugprading only the front and rear channel with no amp supplement, and that's as far as it went. The car before that (06 350Z) had a good front stage but the sub and pre-fab box were mismatched and performed only average. 

I got to talking more to James from (Mobile Addictions) and we worked out a nice deal on some gear he had coming out of his own LP640. A Hertz Mille front stage and 10" sub, driven by an Audison amp was pretty much the exact setup I had been researching anyway, so I pulled the trigger on the gear.

I thought I'd be installing this stuff myself but I realized that task was best left to a pro for this job. That experience is described in more detail in the indie service centers thread but in a nutshell James flew down two of his best installers from New York to Louisiana to get this gear into my Murci the right way: professionally and cleanly. And they did an excellent job. I couldn't be happier! 

I just came back from a nice long cruise and the new system is STELLAR. It's exactly what I wanted. Nice thump, but overall emphasis on quality instead of pressure. No matter what type of music I throw at it (and I listen to a lot of different stuff, from AC/DC to Oakenfold to Clint Mansell) it handles it beautifully. James' guys Christopher and Joseph did a GREAT job tuning the amp. And there's just enough space in the old-cd changer well behind the passenger's seat (no e-gear) to let the 10" Hertz sub breath properly. The guys from Mobile Addictions also trimmed everything up nicely with a beautiful amp rack in the boot and perfectly matched leather on the rack and the sub. I'm so happy! Here's a few pics to share below. Thanks for reading!"

Thank you again Dave.  

Audison/Hertz Demo vehicle

Our friend and Hertz/Audison rep dropped off his E430 to get some gear installed for him to demo to customers.  He wanted to keep the design rather simple as the car is a daily driver.  Here are some photos of the work in progress.

Panamera 4

Customer brought us his brand new Porsche Panamera 4 to have his calipers painted since his car came with black calipers.  His calipers were removed from the car and then stripped down and painted red.  The Porsche logo was then painted white over the red.  Car was all cleaned and put together just in time for Christmas.

GTR Stage 1 upgrades

Here are the pictures provided by Andrew Link Photography showing off the first round of mods we did to the GTR..  Enjoy

Thanks again Andrew !!

Nissan GTR

Customer brought us his GTR for some minor upgrades.  The factory sound system is damn good on this car.  He felt he needed a bit more midrange and high end on the car.  We replaced the 3inch midrange speakers in the doors with Hertz HL70 3inch speakers.  We replaced the tweeters with JBL GTO tweeters and we put a prototype MOBiLE-ADDICTIONS 4inch speaker in the center channel.  All of this was powered by a JL Audio XD400/4 amplifier which was installed under the drivers seat so that no alterations were done to the car.  The customer also asked us to paint the bottom plastics of the car body color and tint all of his lights on the car.

He was soo happy with the work that the car is returning to us for round 2 of the upgrades which include custom interior, subwoofer package and clear bra.

An Andrew Link Photography photoshoot has already taken place to show off round 1 of the mods and pics will be posted soon !!

Rear Seat Entertainment System for 2011 Jeep

A local Jeep dealership brought us a vehicle to design a rear seat entertainment system for a car with an active headrest restraint system.  With this system we can not replace the headrests or cut in to them to mount tvs.  For this vehicle we fabricated pods for the seat back to hold the monitors in place while still retaining a factory look.  Let us know what you guys think.
