Audio Express

VIDEO FOR EVERYONE — It’s vacation time, and sometimes the road seems long when you have a vehicle full of kids. SO we understood perfectly when the owners of a 2015 Nissan NV3500 came to us looking for someone to install some drop-down monitors they purchased for an upcoming trip. They also wanted to know if they could be hooked up to run Roku/Fire stick. Our experienced staff looked up the specs on the drop-downs, and we were able to use HDMI splitters to connect every drop-down with a single HDMI source and use the ILXW650’s USB cable to power the sticks on. They were able to mirror all three screens as well as using the HDMI adapters for their Apple devices. They were super happy with the work, and plan on coming back in to get the speakers upgraded when they get back from vacation. Bring us your complicated project and see how 50 years of experience can work for you. It’s all at Audio Express right now.

THIS AUDI ROCKS! — A customer came to us with a new-to-him 2018 Audi RS3, wanting to add some great sound. We helped him pick out a killer system to get his car jamming! We started with a DSP interface to get the cleanest signal from his radio, then hooked him up with JL Audio C3650 door speakers all the way around. Then we used sound dampening in all doors and the trunk to eliminate any rattle. This allowed our system to give him the best possible sound. For the amplifier, we went with the Helix vtwelvedspmk2. The bass is what the owner was really interested in, so our professional install tech built a custom ported box for a single Kicker 49L7X121, Solo X woofer. The box was color matched to his interior and looked and sounded amazing!. We powered it with the Kicker 46CXA18001 amplifier. It was crushing so hard he could not stay inside with the sun roof closed! Even after 50 years in business, we still love that moment when the owner falls in love with his ride all over again. See what we can do for you; reach out to Audio Express today.

IT NEVER GETS OLD — We always enjoy helping a vehicle owner choose the perfect radio. So when the owner if a 2003 Ford van came to us, we got right to work. He was looking for something with great sound quality and modern features like Bluetooth connectivity. After discussing his needs and preferences, we recommended a Sony DSXB700 that fit his budget and had all the functionalities he wanted. After 50 years in business, we still love bringing a customer and the perfect components together. As our representative says, “Seeing his excitement and satisfaction with the choice really made my day. It reminded me why I enjoy assisting customers in finding exactly what they need and giving them satisfaction.” Reach out to Audio Express and see for yourself!

DRIVER’S CHOICE — The owner of a beautiful 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL came to us wanting a full upgrade and great sound. After a conference with our experienced representative, the owner chose a JL Audio system, plus the Stinger box. We went with C3 speakers in Jeep pods in the front and back. Then came a JL Audio VXi five-channel amplifier. Anchoring it all is an Alpine Restyle dash. Our trained install team needed only a day and a half to turn out a clean, sleek job. We even tuned the system with three different options for tunes! The first DSP tune was for the driver, the second tune was for driver and passenger, and the third was meant for when the doors are off and they are doing Jeep things! The customer was beyond blown away with not only the customer service, but that the install came out perfect. After 50 years in business, we expect nothing less. Connect with Audio Express and prepare to be blown away!

THE NEIGHBORS KNOW – The owner of a business in the complex near one of our locations Is a car enthusiast. He brought in a pristine 1987 Honda Prelude SI, completely original with the factory radio and equalizer. We installed an iSimple BLU Bluetooth module. The customer was so excited we were able to retain the factory radio but have the capabilities of using his phone for music. JL Audio C1650x speakers all around brought the sound quality up to date, as well. Our neighbor knew we would respect his ride, and he trusted us to do the job right. That’s the way we’ve done business at Audio Express for the past 50 years.

PROTECTION FIRST – The owner of a brand new Challenger came to us because he was already planning some upgrades and wanted everything protected. With a new ride that stands out in a crowd, of course he wanted the good stuff. With that in mind we showed him all the CompuStar options. We also mentioned adding a dash camera system so he could view activity remotely through his Drone Mobile app using the new XC-LTE. A key security feature for these newer PTS models involves using the FTI-SPTS-CH, which will completely disable the factory PTS button while the CompuStar is armed. That prevents the very common approach of a thief creating his own key and simply driving off with the car! We sent this new Challenger out ready to defend itself. Whether you’re shopping for a basic security system or the very best available, Audio Express has 50 years of experience providing just what you need.

NO JOKE – The owner of a 2017 GMC Denali truck came in asking us to replace his failing factory radio. We started the discussion by asking what he would like to have with the new unit, and the owner jokingly stated he was looking to watch TV in his dash. Everyone shared in a chuckle, but then transitioned to being able to deliver on that request. We showed him the Linkswell with its 15.6-monitor and discussed all the features it comes with. It integrates with all the OEM systems including the Bose amplifier! Then we touched on all the items that would be unlocked, such as the SIM card slot for internet connection to allow for full web browser and streaming video apps. The owner was blown away at the idea that his joke was possible, and he could not pass it up. After the install, the demonstration was a breeze, mainly because the owner was so excited about the unit, he had already watched all the videos available to learn how it works. He was up and running, loading apps and getting everything going in under five minutes. Explore what is possible at Audio Express, and see what 50 years of experience can bring you.

BIG, BIG SCREEN — After 50 years in business, we have contacts in the industry that really pay off for our customers. That was the case when the owner of a 2020 F-350 Super Duty came to us wanting a radio upgrade with a bigger screen and better features than he got from the factory. He wanted a “tablet” style similar to a Tesla so our experienced staff immediately mentioned Linkswell and showed him the options. He really liked their XL 15.6-inch screen made specifically for his truck. This radio keeps all the important factory features intact, adds more, and looks amazing. The customer was ecstatic with the end result and plans to come in for more upgrades in the future, starting with adding some bass. Bring your dreams to Audio Express and watch us make them come true.

CAPTURE THE ACTION – Since dash cameras have become more popular, Audio Express makes it a point to stock a wide selection. When the owner of a 2024 Ram came to us looking to add some protection and peace of mind while the vehicle is parked, we had lots of answers. For situations where parking security matters our go-to has been the Momento M7 WiFi unit. This unit is great when driving, covering front and rear, but where it really stands out is the parking mode feature. It has great motion detection and the ease of use is definitely a plus for owners. That put the truck owner’s mind at ease. Come to think of it, that’s what we’ve been doing for 50 years.

MAKE IT LOUDER! – A repeat customer came in with his 2022 Mercedez Sprinter and one question: “What do you think? How can I make it louder?” Knowing what was in the vehicle already, we had the answer! We added an additional four-channel JL Audio XDM400/4 amplifier and showed the owner some pods and placement locations. The owner said, “I like the way you are thinking.” When it was all done, our skilled tech asked the ownerer if he wanted him to retune it to his exact needs. He said, “No way! It’s perfect — that is why I keep coming back you, you know what I like.” No matter where you are in your system, reach out to Audio Express and tap into 50 years of making vehicle owners happy.

CUSTOMER’S CHOICE – The owner of a 2021 Challenger came to us because he needed to reinforce the security system. We explained the advantages of options such as a T-harness available for Viper and CompuStar systems, but this particular owner had the Viper 5305V on a different vehicle and liked the features. He wanted us to integrate the same system into his Challenger, and that’s what we did with the help of a Viper DB3 for data integration. Everything worked perfectly and he can still use his OEM key fob to control his Viper security system. He likes the two-way pager, and doesn’t mind carrying the two remotes. At Audio Express we’ll work with the customer’s wishes whenever possible – just like we’re been doing for the last 50 years!

BUMPIN’ BRONCO – The owner of a brand-new 2024 Ford Bronco came to us, eager to enhance the audio experience within their rugged and capable off-road SUV. He wanted to add a deep, rumbling bass presence that would elevate the music to new levels. Our expert installation team carefully assessed the Bronco's factory audio setup, identifying the optimal placement and wiring pathways to seamlessly integrate a high-quality subwoofer that would blend with the existing speakers. We knew that selecting the right subwoofer - one with ample power and precise tuning to match the Bronco's acoustics - would be crucial to achieving the desired sound. The answer was the BASSPRO12. With meticulous attention to detail, the team set to work running new power and signal cables, finding the perfect spot to mount the subwoofer enclosure, and fine-tuning the settings to deliver a listening experience that would have the owner eagerly turning up the volume every time he slid behind the Bronco's steering wheel. That’s what comes of 50 years in business. Check into Audio Express and see what our experts can do for you.

NEW-TRUCK FEELING – The owner of a 2017 F150 came to us saying he wanted that new truck feeling without having to buy a new truck. We knew the new head unit Linkswell with a 15-inch monitor would be the perfect match for him. When he picked up his truck, he was blown away with how different his whole interior looked. He was ecstatic about the wireless Android and Apple CarPlay, as well as being able to integrate his factory camera on the large tablet display. The one feature that really intrigued him was being able to get internet in his vehicle as well. He now has a list of plans for his truck and one will be to come back and upgrade his audio. Making “well broken-in” rides feel like new comes naturally to us at Audio Express. After all, we’ve been doing it for 50 years.

BIGGER BASS – What do you do if you have the owner of a 2016 and newer Ford crew cab truck who wants more bass? That was the request recently from a truck owner. We thought, well, you can put two subs under the seat. But this owner had heard those and wanted more! The solution was a box that could house a full-size 10- or 12-inch woofer. In this application we chose a JL Audio W6-12 powered by a JL Audio XDM600/1. The amps are on a custom board that mounts behind the back seat on the brackets. This allows us to mount all sizes of amps without putting holes in the back wall of the truck. The owner loved the addition of bass and the new sound frequencies being hit by the JL woofer. Thinking outside the box comes naturally when you’ve been doing it for 50 years. Reach out to Audio Express with your biggest challenge!

AUDIO EVERYWHERE —This big RV needed a sound overhaul so our experienced team put together a killer audio package for the owner. We replaced the old radio with a new and improved Alpine ILXF-511, giving the owner great audio control, a big screen and wireless CarPlay. For sound, we added two pairs of Kappa Perfect 600 speakers powered by a JL Audio XDM600/6, six-channel amp. We did a hidden subwoofer under the sofa with a JL Audio CS110tg-tw3 powered by the XDM600/1. Then, on the outside, we installed two JL Audio M6-880x-l-gwgw single speakers.

His first stop was to upgrade his factory rims and tires and his next stop was our location on S. Virginia St. in Reno. The gentleman stopped in to consult with our experts about adding some major bass to his car audio system for his Mexican music and Hip-Hop that he loves to jam. The customer’s only request was not losing his third-row seating.

Our experts installed a Kicker IQ 41VL7122 Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure powered by a 1000-watt JL Audio RD1000/1 mono amplifier.
