So many layers to this build. It’s actually going to be a training prop for the MasterTech Expo. Flexing 💪

Just wait until you see this masterpiece unfold in March.

Any guesses on who the mystery guest is?

Always a pleasure to integrate the amazing Morel Elate Carbon Pro 3 way set. Neither of these speaker locations existed when this ZL1 Camaro rolled off the assembly line, but we were able to make them feel right at home.

We had a great 2021. We were slammed with many amazing projects. A big thank you to for reaching out so we could assist with this amazing center exhaust system for Supra! At a glance you can’t tell it didn’t come this way from We filled in the existing dual exhaust cutouts and added two additional vertical strakes. Repost from using repost_now_app - Dear 2022, I just want seat time for all my cars. Sincerely, HOVBuilt.

Back in Stock! The best triple layer sound treatment material available. DM us for pricing (SoCal only).

Another RadWood era ride set up with a well integrated system. Period correct trim work makes the 12” subs feel right at home!

You guys know I love working on “RAD ERA” cars! This woofer enclosure was for the back of a super clean Porsche 928 GTS. We were able to tuck it in the floor and you would never know it was there….. until you turn the bass k**b. The slots in the bottom of the enclosure allow it to nestle in where the spare tire once lived. Carpeted top, bedliner sides and bottom, and proper stuffing. Great output from an amazing Carbon 12”

2019+ Jetta subwoofer enclosure. We have a mold and a limited quantity in stock! DM us for details and pricing. This one is set up with an amazing 10” subwoofer and a custom grill.

Audi R8 came in to add some bass! This small but effective ported enclosure houses 2 8” subwoofers that rear fire. They are powered by an amplifier. The front stage uses an amp to power the factory door speakers and the new tweeters that were machined down to fit in the factory location. The box is wrapped in real Alcantara from and trimmed out in acrylic and real Carbon Fiber.

4 Runner TRD Pro subwoofer enclosure. We custom fabricated this enclosure for the GB12 subwoofer. The grill was designed and built all in house. with the double stitch work to match the factory leather. More pictures to come of this audiophile system featuring Audiofrog speakers and Mosconi Class A/B amplifiers.

Range Rover Sport got a rocking SQ+ upgrade! Lack of detail, lack of volume..... that is the complaint from most Range Rover customers. Even though this one came equipped with a Meridian system upgrade it just wasn’t good enough. We may have over compensated! The Focal Kevlar 3 way in the front add the volume and detail the customer wanted. The dual Musway DSP amplifiers add the power and control over the sound to create a realistic sound stage. Out back we have 3 ARC audio 12” woofers that make sure we don’t miss any low frequency information!
A lot of work was done to make these speakers mount in and seal up better than factory. The CNC, Laser cutter, and 3D printer were all used to achieve better than original fitment.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster received an amazing upgrade to Audiofrog GB60 door midbass drivers. The baffles were prototyped out of laser cut MDF and then machined from layers of 1” expanded PVC. We were able to bring the speaker close to the carbon fiber door panel without interference. The door and door panel were treated to control resonance. The baffle was solid and helped stiffen the door. Great products from and

Powder coated 1/4” plate steel door baffles for some Utopia M 8” drivers. We spent a lot of time to make these doors super solid. A mixture of triple layer sound deadening, modeling clay, Silicone, epoxy, and a frequency generator helped us control resonance while achieving very high sound levels out of the doors. It didn’t hurt that we have 800+ watts of clean Mosconi A/B amplifier power to push them!

As says..... there’s something bout my Benzo ! We love working on clean low mileage era vehicles. I was happy to blend what we did in these cars 25 years ago with some modern technology. Some slight massaging on the rear deck allowed us to put a single 10” Type R woofer in a larger ported enclosure tuned to 30hz. We powered it with 1000 watts of power. The front speakers are home audio drivers and the most amazing combination that we have been able to fit into the 4x6” location. Like all of our systems this system uses a DSP processor to dial in arrival times and equalization to present a very realistic soundstage. And oh yeah.... the bass shakes the car with a turn of the bass k**b.
