Suburban Sounds

This D-Max came in for a radio upgrade to get better connectivity.
So we fitted a new Kenwood and retained the factory reverse camera and steering wheel controls.

Just a reminder, the best way to protect yourself and your investment while driving or parked is to have a dash cam.
This Thinkware records front and rear HD video while driving and when parked.

This LEXUS has the factory Mark Levinson Audio system.
The factory 8” sub on the parcel shelf had failed, so we replaced it with a Kicker compc 8” with a bit of a custom mount so it’s solid, and what an improvement over the factory sub.

We fitted an Alpine Halo 9” screen a while ago, now it’s back for some BASS, so the Alpine 8” under seat sub fits perfectly and gives the system that nice little kick.

What a great day at the shop when not one, two or three GT40’s show up, four show up.

Mazda BT50 in for a radio upgrade, now has all the connectivity they need with their smart phone and the reverse camera that did show up in the mirror is now on the new screen, and easier te see.

Sorry we haven’t posted for a while, it’s been crazy busy with cars and trucks, as you can see we might need a bigger factory 😁.
Behind these 3 Kenworth trucks is a race trailer and a caravan as well, and just finished 3 trucks thankfully as room was getting tight.

We are privileged to work on some amazing cars, like this GT40 getting some STP sound deadening during the build stage.
A big shout out to Rob and the guys at Roaring Forties.

Something a little different, this bin truck got a security video recording system.
4 cameras 1 rear, 1 front and 2 are on the mirrors looking backwards.
They can be viewed by the driver and all 4 cameras are recorded to a BlackBox, that is lockable, this system also has a SIM card so it can be viewed remotely live or replay footage that has been recorded on the 1TB storage.

Second job this morning, a Holden Cruze getting a a new head unit and reverse camera.
Sony XAV-AV3200 with Aerpro fitting kit keeping all steering controls working, and for safety a reversing camera.

A quick job for the morning, this Mazda BT50 just getting a head unit upgrade.
A Sony XAV-AX3200 with fitting kit and adapters will bring it into the world of modern connectivity.

Tom’s Landcruiser got the treatment with the amazing Kenwood DMX9720XDS with high ress audio, wireless CarPlay and Android auto,10” screen and lots more.
Audio is Focal Auditor 6.5” in all doors in custom pods, with a 10” Auditor slim sub with a Kicker amplifier to power it.

Another happy truck driver, microwave and inverter fitted,now they can heat up some food while on the road. 😀

Another Focal and Hertz system.
In this FG falcon we installed Focal Auditor splits and coaxial speakers with 2 Focal Auditor 12” subwoofers.
We powered the system with the Hertz HCP5D amplifier, the result is very nice and looks stealth, with all speakers in their factory location and the amplifier hidden under the passenger seat.
The only giveaway is the the 2 subs in the boot 😀, and the spare wheel is still accessible.

Hi everyone,
This landcruiser came in for a upgrade so we installed the Alpine iLX-507A with wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto, high ress screen, and an amazing amount of tune ability straight from the unit.
We matched it with a Hertz 5 channel amplifier and Focal Flax Splits, coaxials and Focal Flax 10” subwoofer in our custom sub box and amp panel.
What a result, great connectivity and an amazing sound with so much detail.

Some pics of the new eager install.
