Jeeps and customizing go hand in hand. We don’t think anyone purchases a Jeep and thinks “It’s perfect, I will leave it just like this”. Customizing and enhancing safety were on the mind of a Live Oak client when she called us. The client wanted to make it easier to see when backing her Jeep Wrangler up and also get it sounding a little better. Jeeps aren’t the quietest vehicles on the road, so they always need a little help in the audio department.
Jeep Wrangler Backup Camera and Radio
Once the client dropped her Jeep off we began working on the numerous projects. The first we tackled was the Jeep Wrangler backup camera. For our Jeep clients we stock a special mount that positions the camera between the spokes of the spare tire. This provides an excellent vantage point for viewing, as well as having built-in protection from getting hit by anything. To help the client view her new camera, we installed a Sony touch screen radio in her dash. This radio not only shows the output of the backup camera when the Jeep is in reverse, but also give her the option for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker and Bass Upgrade
With the camera and radio done, we moved onto the speakers and subwoofer upgrade. We removed the factory speakers and replaced them with Morel Maximo speakers. We love the Maximo speakers for their smooth response and detailed sound. To fit the tweeters in the factory location we used our laser to cut out custom acrylic adapter plates. Once the speakers were done, it was time to add in a little bass. The client didn’t want to take up any of the usable space in her Wrangler, so we went with a thin, under seat subwoofer system by Sony. We mounted the subwoofer under the rear seat, leaving all of her hatch area accessible. With the new gear installed we went through and adjusted the radio as well as setting the subwoofer controls. The result was a great sounding system that was not only better sounding but also louder, with more bass. Now the client could safely backup her Jeep and sound good doing it! Give us a call or contact us here if you would like to find out options for upgrading your Jeep.
Recently we were contacted via email by a mother looking to upgrade the radio in her daughter’s Honda Civic. In our email we outlined different radio options for the Civic. To enhance the safety of the daughter’s driving we suggested a

The radio location in the C10 Chevy dash is in the lower bottom corner. The factory radio was a shaft-mounted style radio. To install the new DIN size radio requires a bit of fabrication. The opening for the factory radio has to be enlarged to make room for the new radio. Once the hole is enlarged there is a bit of plastic missing on the top and bottom of the opening. To cover those extra holes,

It seems our lives are getting busier and busier. Thankfully, there is a tool that can help make your time on the road a little more productive. Apple CarPlay can help you knock-out some of your workload while you drive. Is it after hours and time to relax on the drive home? Apple CarPlay has you covered for that as well!
Apple CarPlay is a software developed by Apple in March of 2014. The goal of the project was to integrate popular smartphone apps with the 
Almost everyone has been in the situation where they have received potentially important text while driving. Maybe it was a change of plans for a dinner date, or possibly a few more things that need to be picked up from the market. Before CarPlay, your only safe choice was to wait until you got to your destination to read it, or pull over. Thanks to Apple CarPlay, texting while driving is now safe. If you receive a text while you are driving, you will be alerted on the radio screen and have the option of having the text read to you over the car audio system. Want to reply? No problem, you can verbally reply, using Siri as your personal assistant. Siri even reads the text back to you before it is sent, to make sure it is correct.
One of the great things about CarPlay is being able to use the 
As the name implies, Lake City, Florida has quite a few lakes in it. In addition there are numerous rivers and two oceans, all within driving distance. As a result of all this water, we see quite a few boats here at Pinnacle Autosound. The owner of this Tahoe came to us for a 
The first thing we needed to address on this boat were the speakers. The boat had a molded spot in the fiberglass for 6.5″ speakers. We added 
The next area we upgraded was the source unit. Again we called on the Sony brand, specifically their marine-grade radios. This radio gives the client AM/FM tuning capability as well as the ability to play CD’s. To further expand the playing options, the radio also has an 1/8″ audio jack input. This lets the client plug in any audio player that has a headphone jack.
