2019 Camaro Bass Package for Lake Butler Client

January 10, 2020 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

A client from Lake Butler stopped by Pinnacle Autosound to inquire about adding some bass to his granddaughter’s new Camaro. The grandfather said his granddaughter was happy enough with her Bose system, but the system was lacking in bass output. We had an appointment cancel just before he stopped by, so we were able to work him in that afternoon.

Interfacing the Factory Radio

The factory radio was retained in this Camaro.

The JL Audio interface was designed to for high power factory systems.

This Camaro came with a wimpy factory subwoofer. To interface with the new JBL bass package, we enlisted the help of a JL Audio LOC 22. The LOC 22 is designed to take the high power output of a factory amplifier and created a signal that the JBL system can use. It is important to have a good understanding of the systems being interfaced with, using a wrong adapter could result in premature failure.

All-in-one JBL Bass Package

The JBL package features a heavy grille to protect the subwoofer.

The client still had plenty of trunk space left.

The remote level control provides easy access to control the bass output.

To provide the client’s granddaughter with more bass output we chose the JBL BassPro system. This system features a sturdily built enclosure that houses a ported 12″ subwoofer and a optimally matched onboard amplifier. The subwoofer is protected by two heavy steel bars. The compact package yields quite a bit of space with a small footprint. To provide the driver with the ability to blend in just the right amount of bass, we added a remote subwoofer level control knob just belofw the dashboard.

Camaro Bass Upgrade Success

After just under two hours of work we had the Camaro bass system installed and tuned. The JBL bass package provided more than enough bass to add some much needed excitement to the factory Bose system. The grandfather was happy with the work we did and knew his granddaughter would enjoy driving her car even more now!

Polaris General 1000 Gets Full JL Audio Sound System

August 17, 2019 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

A long-time friend of the Pinnacle Autosound owner recently came by to see about upgrading the audio system in his Polaris General 1000. After talking a bit with the staff at Pinnacle Autosound they determined what he needed were some serious upgrades. Not only did the General need to have plenty of volume, it also needed to be able to stand up to extreme abuse. The Pinnacle Autosound team was up to the task and the client scheduled a time to drop off the General.

JL Audio Media Master

Polaris Audio — The custom radio mounting plate lets everyone know where this awesome audio system was built.

Our go-to powersports audio source for side-by-sides and golf carts is the JL Audio MBT-CRXv2. The unit is a small, round controller that features Bluetooth connectivity and front mounted buttons for source control. The client wanted something with a few more bells and whistles for his General, though. The radio for him was the JL Audio MediaMaster MM100s-BE. This radio features multiple zone control, a color screen and numerous tone adjustments for each zone. All of the gear we would be installing could be controlled easily from the driver’s seat thanks to the new radio.
To integrate the radio in the dash of the General, we had to fabricate a mounting plate. We chose to make the plate out of black HDPE plastic, because of its good looks and durable construction. The plate was machined on our Shapeoko CNC machine. In the blank space below the radio we used the CNC to pocket a space for a badge insert. We again called on our CNC to machine a red and white insert for the dash insert piece. This helps give the build a truly custom look.

Powersports Amplifers

The amplifier mounting plate was precisely machined and all the edges were chamfered for a finished look.

HDPE was also used to fabricate the mounting plate for the two fuse holders.

It was a tight fit, but we were able to neatly fit all the gear under the hood.

To make sure this General sounded loud and clear at any speed, or any level above or below water, we needed lots of power. Our most rugged amplifiers are the JL Audio MX series powersports amplifiers. For this build we used a 4 channel 500/4 MX amplifier to power the speakers and two 500/1 MX amplifiers to power the two subwoofers. The mounting location we discussed with the client was under the front hood, where they would at least get a little bit of protection.
To mount the amplifiers we once again called on the use of HDPE plastic. We hand machined a piece of HDPE that would fit under the hood and give the proper clearances for factory items also located there. The plate would hold the three amplifiers as well as the power distribution block. As you can see from the photos, it was a tight fit to get all three amplifiers under there. We secured the mounting plate and amplifiers with stainless steel hardware for long service life. All of the wiring was neatly routed and secured in a way that would allow for easy servicing, if needed, later in time.

Speaker System for Polaris Audio

Reinforcement rings were added behind the rear speakers.

Quick connect fasteners were used for all the speaker and subwoofer wiring, for easy servicing.

Our speaker upgrade fit perfectly in the unused space under the console.

Two speakers were mounted on each side of the center console.

One of the things that we were excited about in this project was getting to use the brand new JL Audio M6 series marine speakers. This was our first vehicle to feature them, and they did not disappoint! To maximize the audio output in the front of the Polaris General we installed two pair of the M6 6.5″ coaxials in the front console area. The space we chose was normally just an open cavity. To mount the speakers we machined two 1/2″ HDPE plates, one for each side. The plates were able to be bolted to the factory trim pieces using stainless steel hardware. We wired up the speakers using special all-weather, high-current connectors. The connectors would make it easy for the client to disassemble the system if he ever needed to go back and service any of the General.
An additional pair of M6 speakers were added to the rear of the General to help round out the sound for the rear passengers. These speakers were surface mounted to an existing flat part of the factory console panels. To help reinforce the mounting we cut out two 1/2″ HDPE reinforcement rings that mounted behind the speakers. This allowed the speakers to securely mount, and helped reduced unwanted flexing of the panel.

Subwoofers Bring Some Serious Bass

Rivet nuts were installed to the General frame for mounting the subwoofer mounting frames.

Two metal racks were fabricated for mounting the pair of subwoofer enclosures.

Additional tabs were welded onto the mounts to secure the subwoofer enclosures.

The urethane spray looks great and will protect the enclosures from damage.

The subwoofer enclosures were positioned to fire directly into the openings under each front seat.

The final component of the Polaris audio upgrade was the subwoofer system. The client has the JL Audio Polaris Stealthbox in another one of his side-by-sides. For the General he wanted more output. After looking at the available spaces on the General, we determined that directly under the passenger and driver’s seats would be the idea spots for a pair of JL Audio Tw3 10″ subwoofers. Knowing the abuse and water that this Polaris would see, we knew the enclosures and mounting had to be very robust.
The enclosures were cut out of 3/4″ marine grade plywood, and then assembled using waterproof glue. We then rounded the edges of the enclosures and coated each enclosure with a saturated layer of 1.5oz fiberglass mat. When the fiberglass had cured, our next step was to spray each enclosure with a thick layer of SEM Rock-It Bedliner. The Rock-It spray is a two-part urethane textured coating that dries to form a very durable and great-looking surface.
Securing the enclosures to the underside of the General took quite a bit of time. Our fabricators had to switch hats once again, this time to metal working. One inch square tubing and One inch angle iron were used to fabricate the mounts for the subwoofer enclosures. The mounts were bolted to the frame work of the General with stainless hardware that threads into rivet nuts that we installed. The result were enclosures that were incredibly sturdy and we are sure the General is now even stronger thanks to the added support.

Great Audio Inside AND Outside this Polaris General

One of the things we were concerned with in this project was how low the speakers had to be mounted. Typically in a side-by-side we are mounting the speaker up higher, and many times to the roll cage. We knew the audio on the inside of the Polaris would sound great, but we weren’t sure how it would sound outside. When we finally tuned the system and cranked it up for the first time all our concerns were gone. The music was able to be heard loud and clear not only inside but also far away from the Polaris General. We were excited and knew the client would love his Polaris General audio upgrades!
Here at Pinnacle Autosound in Lake City, Florida, we love working on powersports vehicles. We stock plenty of stainless steel fasteners and plastics, that will hold up in any environment to ensure our installs last the life of our client’s vehicles.

NauticStar 244XTS Center Console Marine Audio System

March 9, 2019 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

The staff at Pinnacle Autosound was recently contacted about upgrading the audio system in a NauticStar center console boat. With the help of a friend, the new boat owner’s wife was planning the surprise upgrade. After reviewing the options for the system the client booked a time for us to work on the boat.

Speaker Upgrades

The factory-installed Infinity radio was retained as the source unit.

JL Audio coaxial speakers were a great upgrade for this boat.

Sport grille speakers were used throughout the boat.

The JL Audio speakers also featured blue LED lighting.

A pair of JL Audio speakers were added to the console roof.

The boat came equipped with a pair of speakers and an Infinity marine radio. We determined the radio would be fine for the source unit but knew the speakers would need an upgrade. As with most of our marine installations, we turned to JL Audio for the speakers. The existing speakers were upgraded with MX series coaxial speakers.
The over head console roof had two molded spots for speakers, but none were installed by the factory. We added an additional set of speakers to this location. The wiring was routed with the help of the factory installed chase cords. We made sure to return the cords to their proper locations in case any future wires need to be ran.

Subwoofer Addition

We are often asked about why subwoofers are important on boats. Subwoofers not only help to add excitement to the music, they also help reduce the strain on the speakers to reproduce the lower octaves. This results in a system that will play louder and cleaner. Both great things! For this system we added 2 JL Audio M series 8″ subwoofers. The subwoofers were installed just forward of the console on each side of the hull.

Center Console Audio Amplification

The amplifiers were mounted inside the electronics area of the console.

The factory cover was still able to snap in place.

The factory Infinity radio originally powered the boat speakers. This would not be enough power for our new upgrades, though. To bump up the power for the new speakers and subwoofers we added 2 JL Audio MX series amplifiers. These amplifiers are made to survive the abuse of a marine environment. A four channel model powers the speakers, while a mono model powers the subwoofers. The amplifiers were mounted on a panel that our technicians fabricated from HDPE plastic. HDPE is the plastic used by boat manufacturers for many of the covers and doors.

Great-sounding Marine Audio

Once the system was installed our technicians took their time to properly setup the amplifiers. The sensitivity controls were set to match the output of the radio and the crossover settings were adjusted for maximum performance. The result was an incredible sounding audio system that will please even the most discerning boater.

Flats Boat Audio System for Local Marine Repair Business Owner

February 15, 2019 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

The owner of a Lake City marine repair business recently stopped by to talk about upgrading the audio system in his flats boat. He currently had a radio and speakers in the boat, but their performance was anemic. We talked about possible speaker upgrades, a new radio and adding and amplifier. We always like to mention the benefits of adding a subwoofer too, which the client seemed open to. Happy with the discussion, the client setup a time to drop his boat off.

Radio Replacement

The Kenwood radio provides the clients with numerous audio sources.

The addition of the waterproof cover will ensure the radio lasts for years.

The first step to building a great audio system in this boat was to upgrade the radio. For this project we used a Kenwood marine radio. The radio will give the client the ability to not only play CD’s, listen to the radio, play audio from a USB drive but also to stream audio from his phone via Bluetooth. While the radio is a marine radio and designed to survive life on a boat, we added an additional bit of protection with installation of a waterproof radio cover.

Speaker Upgrades

The rings were machined in our fabrication room.

The stepped adapter rings look great and help fit the speakers into the larger holes.

A pair of JL speaker was installed in the rear of the boat.

The front of the boat receive a pair of speakers and a single subwoofer.

This boat is going to look and sound great day and night.

The most important part of this job was providing the client with crystal clear music and high volume levels. Our go-to speaker for this sort of project is the JL Audio MX marine coaxial speaker. Fulfilling a request for some lighting from the client’s wife was easy with the addition of the LED illuminated series of JL Audio MX speakers. These speakers have the great JL Audio sound and also feature blue LED lighting. Adding the lighting required a bit more work because we also have to run not only speaker wires, but also lighting wires, to each speaker. The lighting for the speakers was powered by an unused rocker switch that we repurposed for the lighting.

After the speaker and lighting wiring was done it was time to install the speakers. Unfortunately we found that the off-brand speakers the client previously had in the boat were a bit larger than the new JL Audio speakers. To fit the new speakers in the old holes we made custom adapters out of marine-grade HDPE plastic. The rings were machined to give the JL Audio speakers a larger lip. The center of the ring was recessed to allow for the speaker to fit down in it, for a cleaner look. Finally the outer edge of the ring was chamfered for a more finished shape. We mounted the speakers into the adapter rings using stainless steel hardware.

Subwoofer Addition

When the client dropped off the boat with us it was with the understanding that we would research options for a subwoofer. After looking around the boat while we were working on it, we found that a single 10″ JL Audio marine subwoofer would fit in the very center of the front storage area. The client agreed to this spot, so we began the work to mount it. Normally if the fiberglass is thin in the areas we plan on mounting subwoofers, we will make an additional support baffle. The fiberglass in this area of the boat, though, was plenty thick for mounting the subwoofer.

JL Audio Amplifier

Powering the whole system is a JL Audio MX series 4 channel amplifier. This little amp offers an impressive amount of power in a small package. We fabricated a mounting plate for the amplifier using the HDPE. This plate was attached to the side of the console using existing mounting holes for another piece.

Great-Sounding Boat Audio

Once the equipment was mounted and all the wiring was tidied up, it was time to set the level adjustments and crossovers on the amplifier. When we first powered on the system we were blown away. For the modest amount of equipment this boat had, it sounded incredible! When the client’s wife picked it up, she too thought it sounded great. If it is time to get that boat of yours ready for the water, give us here at Pinnacle Autosound a call or contact us here.

Macclenny Client Comes to Pinnacle for Ford F-150 Audio Upgrade

October 25, 2018 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

A long-time client of ours recently referred one of his co-workers to us. When the client stopped by, we talked with him about his Ford F-150 audio system and the changes he wanted to make. He previously had an audio system installed by another shop and wasn’t happy with the performance of the system. We gave the client a few different options and price points, highlighting the improvements for each step. We were thrilled when the client decided to go with the best of our proposals.

F-150 Audio Integration

The client had the factory radio in his truck and was happy with how it worked and the aesthetics of the unit. We advised him that with the help of a JL Audio FiX 86 processor he could utilize the factory radio as his source unit. The JL Audio processor removes and time delay and flattens out the response of the factory radio. This gives us a perfectly clean signal to start with, much like if he used an aftermarket radio. We were able to easily find the factory wire colors using our Mitchell1 software subscription.

A Second JL Audio Processor

In-between the time we had the client scheduled to drop his F-150 off and his initial deposit he asked about any additional audio upgrades that were possible for his system. We felt comfortable that we had maximized his budget for the speakers, amplifiers and subwoofers. The one thing we didn’t originally quote him for, however, was a DSP (digital signal processor). We feel that any amplified system can benefit from a DSP. In a system like the one we were building for the client the DSP would allow us to run the front speakers fully active, meaning each speaker would have its own amplifier channel. This gives us much more flexibility in adjusting the sound and let’s us digitally compensate for the different locations of the speakers in the truck.

Since we were already using a JL Audio integration processor, it made perfect sense to go to JL Audio for the DSP as well. We used the JL AudioTwK 88. A benefit of the TwK processor is that it allows the use of the JL Audio DRC-200. The DRC-200 is dual knob control that allows the client to adjust the subwoofer level and system volume from one convenient spot.

JL Audio Amplifiers

One of the goals of this F-150 audio upgrade was increased clarity and volume. That means power, and lots of it. Because we would be mounting the amplifiers behind the rear seat, we needed amps with a small footprint. Consequently, the JL Audio xD amplifiers were the perfect choice. The speakers in the truck would be powered by a XD600/6v2. We configured the amplifier to provide the tweeters and woofers in the front of the truck with 75 watts to each driver. The rear doors were powered by the remaining two channels of 75 watts per side. The subwoofer system was to be comprised of 4 10″ subwoofers. To make sure they had the recommended power we chose a XD1000/1v2. This amp would give each subwoofer the rated 250 watts.

Front Speaker Upgrade

The Focal tweeters were mounted in the factory spot and black soundproofing was used to seal them to the opening.

The installed tweeters retained a factory look.

The factory pillars already had trick-looking grilles that were perfect for our tweeter upgrade.

The front doors were treated with sound deadening material to reduce resonances.

The Focal speakers in the front were installed with custom-fabricated adapter plates.

The Focal speakers were a huge upgrade.

In keeping with the client’s wishes, the doors remained stock-looking.

The front speaker upgrade consisted of the Focal PS165v1 component speakers. These speakers were chosen for their realistic audio reproduction and fit in the F-150 doors. The small size of the tweeter allowed our technicians to install them in the factory location in the pillar. The 6.5″ woofer was installed in the door location. A custom composite adapter plate was fabricated to adapt the round speaker to the factory 6×9″ speaker hole. To reduce any resonances in the doors plenty of sound deadener was used. The final step before installing the door cards back on the truck was to add a set of foam rings around the woofers. These rings help the output of the woofer couple to the cabin of the truck and prevent any sound from being trapped between the door card and the door.

Rear Speaker Upgrade

The wiring for the rear speakers was soldered and neatly secured.

The rear speakers were installed with foam rings to maximize their output.

The upgrades to the rear doors left them looking stock but sounding much better.

The rear doors received a bit more simple upgrade from the front. In the rear we installed a set of Focal Performance 6.5″ coaxial speakers. These speakers are the same series as the front speakers, so we knew they would tonally blend. Similarly, we used the same methods to install the rear speakers as we did the front. Again, the final step was the addition of the foam rings to help seal the speakers.

Subwoofer Upgrade

Braces were added to the enclosure to enhance its rigidity.

A thin layer of body filler was used to smooth the transitions on the enclosure.

1/4′ dowels were used to center and secure the vinyl insert.

The openings on the top plate were cut so the JL Audio woofers would sit flush.

The enclosure gave the client the most possible bass under his rear seat.

Careful measurements were taken to ensure the enclosure fit the underseat area properly.

The previous F-150 subwoofer system the client had installed was lacking in musicality and didn’t quite have as much audio output as he wanted. One of the key parts of this F-150 audio system was the bass upgrade. After taking some careful measurements under the rear seat we came up with a plan for maximizing the bass output within his budget. Our plan was to use 4 JL Audio 10TW1 subwoofers in a custom-fabricated sealed enclosure. The enclosure was built with three braces, equally spaced, to help reduce any bass loss due to panel flexing.

To help make this system look as good as we knew it would sound we added a bit of extra detail to the cosmetics of the enclosure. The corners of the enclosure were formed to precisely follow the contours of the edge of the seat. To keep the enclosure looking good for years to come, the outer edge was covered in black carpet. For a custom look we fabricated a vinyl covered insert for the top of the enclosure. This insert helps to flush in the woofers as well as giving the overall enclosure a cleaner look.

Final Tuning and Delivery

We used a digital laser measuring device to determine the distance to each speaker.

The final overall response curve of the system met our target goals.

With all the gear installed it was time to setup the integration processor and tune the DSP. We started the process by calibrating the JL Audio FiX 88. Once the signal was clean it was time to adjust the sensitivity controls on the amplifiers.

With the sensitivity controls properly adjusted we moved on to the DSP settings. We provided the client with 2 different tunes for the system. The two tunes can be selected by pressing the center knob on the DRC-200. The first tune was a sound quality tune optimized for the driver’s seat. For this tune we set the crossover points, signal delay and individual equalizers for each speaker. The result was an audio experience that placed all the soundstage up on the dash and presented the listener with accurately placed instruments and artists across the dashboard. The second tune was for when the client would be driving with other passengers in the truck. For this tune the crossovers were set and global equalizer adjustments were made. This tune ensured each seat in the truck shared a similar listening experience.

After all the work was done we finally got to listen to the F-150 audio upgrades. They sounded fantastic! We were overjoyed when delivering the truck to the client because we knew how pleased he would be with his new audio system. Thanks to our improvements, the client’s drive to work every day will be much more enjoyable.

Lake City Powersports Client Gets Yamaha YXZ Stereo System

July 6, 2017 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

A powersports client from Lake City recently came to Pinnacle Autosound looking for a Yamaha YXZ Stereo system. We have worked on a number of side-by-sides so we had a great idea of what would get his rocking.

Rockford Fosgate Radio Provides Lots of Choices

The start of the system was the Rockford Fosgate PMX2 Radio. This radio is purpose-built for the powersports market. It is designed to hold up to the most abusive conditions. As you can tell from the pictures, this side-by-side is no trailer queen, so we knew this was the perfect radio. The client now has almost unlimited audio sources when paired via Bluetooth to his smartphone.

Rugged, Efficient Power by JL Audio

Adding audio power to powersports vehicles can sometimes be a challenge. There are a number of obstacles that aren’t found in regular cars or trucks. The first hurdle is size. There is very little space available in the normal side-by-side. Another concern is the limited charging amperage of the side-by-side charging system. Taking these things into account, we chose the JL Audio MX280/4 amplifier. As you can see, it was small enough to fit in the glove box. The glove box doesn’t provide a waterproof seal, but that was no concern for us, as the JL Audio amplifier is built to withstand the elements.

Yamaha YXZ Stereo Speakers

The final step for the Yamaha YXZ stereo system was to add some great sounding speakers. We started by adding a Wet Sounds Core 10 speaker bar. This is a very low-profile housing that holds a number of smaller speakers. We used two of the JL Audio amplifier channels to power the speaker bar. To fill in the bass that the system needed we used a Bazooka 10″ subwoofer. The tube system was designed for marine audio use, so we knew it would hold up well under the extremes this Yamaha YXZ would see.

Pontoon Boat Audio System for Lake City Client

April 27, 2017 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

A local client from Lake City recently contacted us about upgrading the failing marine audio system in his pontoon boat. We spoke with him about his goals for the upgrade and ended up booking him an appointment.

Rockford Fosgate Subwoofer Upgrade

The biggest problem with the client’s boat was the old subwoofer had stopped working. We replaced the 10″ marine subwoofer and added an additional 10″ subwoofer. The subwoofers were mounted on each side of the boat in storage cabinets. We choose the Rockford Fosgate Prime 10″ marine subwoofers for this application. To power the subwoofers we used 2 Rockford Fosgate 300 watt amplifiers. These amplifiers are very efficient in both power consumption and size. Their efficiency will allow the client to play the system for a long time when he is out on the water.

Wetsounds Speaker Upgrade

While we were working on the boat the client also wanted us to improve the sound of the speakers. We were able to put together a package consisting of two pair of Wet Sounds coaxial speakers and a Wet Sounds 4-channel amplifier. The Wet Sounds equipment is designed to be in the marine environment so we know the client will enjoy the speakers for a long time.

Pontoon Boat Audio Delivery

Once all the gear was installed we took the time to carefully adjust the amplifiers and radio setting to maximize the performance of the new system. The sound was very impressive. When the client picked the boat up he loved the improved clarity and output of the system. More bass was an added bonus!

Massive Fishing Boat Audio System Upgrade

February 4, 2017 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

With all the water that surrounds Lake City, Florida, it is natural for many residence to have boats. Time on the open water is certainly fun. What makes it better is being able to take your music with you. That is just what the owner of this large center console boat wanted. Let’s look at what went into this fishing boat audio system.

For good sound coverage on a boat this large we had to use a number of speakers. Because this boat saw salt water we had to go with our most reliable marine brand, Wet Sounds for all the speakers. Wet Sounds is the premier marine speaker company, and with good reason, they sound great and are very durable. To make sure there was great sound everywhere, we installed 3 pair of Wet Sounds SW-808 coaxial speakers. Powering the speakers is a Wet Sounds 6 channel amplifier. The output and clarity of these speakers is amazing. To further augment the low end response, we added 2 Wet Sounds SW-10FA Subwoofers to the center console. These subwoofers are designed to use the air in the console as their enclosure. With 700 watts of Wet Sounds power, these subwoofers ROCK. As we mentioned at the start, this client wanted to be able to listen to his music on the boat. We gave him a number of different ways to do this, all of them controlled by a Rockford Fosgate RFX-MR5BB Media Player. The media player gives the client the ability to listen to AM, FM, music on a USB device, Bluetooth audio, and anything that has an 1/8″ stereo jack. He now has access to almost an unlimited source of music!

When the client first heard his boat he was blown away. He loved how loud and clear the music was from any place on the boat. He couldn’t wait to get out on the water with it! If you have a boat and want to either add or upgrade the audio system, give us a call or contact us here for more information.

Lake City Client Gets Jeep Wrangler Audio And Technology Upgrade

February 4, 2017 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

The Lake City, Florida owner of this vehicle wanted to upgrade his 2005 Jeep Wrangler audio and technology. The Pinnacle Autosound technicians were up to the task.

Alpine 8″ Screen For Easy Off-Road Viewing

Instead of installing the normal 7″ double-din sized screen, the technicians stepped it up a notch and went with an Alpine 8″ in-dash navigation radio. An installation like this is not just plug and play. The fabrication team at Pinnacle Autosound had to modify the OEM trim bezel to fit the huge radio. Custom mounting brackets also had to be fabricated to hold the massive radio.

Jeep Wrangler Audio Upgrade

Not content with just getting a technology upgrade, the client also chose to have Pinnacle Autosound upgrade the audio system too. The front stage was upgraded with Hertz Hi-Energy component speakers. For low-end reinforcement, an Audiomobile GTS 10″ subwoofer was installed in a custom subwoofer enclosure. Powering the speakers and subwoofer is a multi-channel Alpine PDX amplifier.

Stop By Or Call Today!

The result was a drastic improvement in not only the technology in the Jeep, but also the sound quality. If you own a Jeep and are looking to upgrade any of the electronics or audio, give Pinnacle Autosound a call today. You can also contact us here to setup an appointment or for more information.
