X5: Sound Deadening + Sub

Posted on January 30, 2012

ULTRA AUTO SOUND gets "hands on" on a brand new X5. Needs more bass and less road noise.

Trunk floor before sound deadening was installed.

Sound deadening covering all open holes and making the sound solid with no vibrations.

Door panel before sound deadening was put on.

Focal sound deadening put on all four doors. Helps with vibrations and blocks road noise.

JL Audio amplifier installed below the stock amplifier. JL audio amplifier powering 600W RMS to the subwoofer

back left compartment for the amplifier location.

Bass knob added for the new JL AUDIO amplifier and subwoofer to adjust the bass volume to the desired level. Located to the left of the steering wheel away from back seat drivers! LOL

Posted on January 18, 2012

Custom painted fiberglass sub woofer enclosure with two 10" JL audio W6v2's. JL audio's special edition black slash amplifying the mids, highs, and subs. This Benz certainly rocks sunny or not!

Kenwood double din touch screen installed with gps and bluetooth into this mercedes benz.

The dash bezel needed to be modified to house a double din touch screen. As you can see its being reinforced with an aluminum frame. Some buttons relocated.

Boston acoustic speakers mounted into the center rear custom setup. It plays incredible mids and keeps the highs over the wind noise when the top is down going for a cruise.

Subaru Impreza WRX. Kenwood DNX 6980 excelon (Head unit), Focal Polyglass 30th Anniversary speaker (Front and rear speakers), JL Audio Slash series amps (Power Plant), JL Audio TW5s (subwoofers)

Foam above spare tire cut to make an emegency tire change at ease. Floor board also modified so sub enclosures do not get in the way.

Trunk covered to avoid over spill. Sides of trunk ready to be shaped with fiberglass

Fiberglass moulded to the sides of the trunk. Taking up very little space (useless space)

Finished with leatherette. Matched with interior door panels.

JL Audio TW5 works great for this trunk. Light weight.......but very powerfull....most important....its shallow!

Finished product with fiberglass enclosure and JL Audio TW5 enclosure

Some blue lighting to give it a nice cool effect at night.

Classic: Volvo 164

Focal K2 Power KRX2. Made in FRANCE! Our fav!

Rear shelf made from scratch. Holds a set of Focal KRX Slims. Underneath the shelf is two monster 12" Subwoofers all hidden. A little to the right of the speaker you can see the port for the two subwoofers.

Focal KRX2 Component speakers built into the side wall (custom kick panel)

Looks plain stock from outside.....but its definately not on the inside. Focal K2 Power (front and rear speakers), Focal FPS4160 (Power plant). JL Audio 12W6V2's (subwoofers)

ULTRA edition SCION: tC

Custom brackets made to fit the 3" and 6' speakers in the door. Focal Sound deadening used to insulate the door to reduce vibrations.

Focal Driver from the KRX3 set. Kevlar cone with a massive magnet. This speaker is a beast! p.s. MAKE SURE THE DOOR FITS THE SPEAKER! haha

Custom enclosure for two JL AUDIO w7 subwoofers. Definately not a simple box!

Subwoofer enclosure installed in the trunk. Finished with a leatherette to match the interior seats. Super bright white LED lights added in the trunk and exterior to spice things up.

LED Lights installed inside the door make the speakers clearly visible at night.

This Scion TC is designed for a true audio enthusiast

LAB: Ram

Posted on November 21, 2011

Richards truck from LAB located 10 min from ULTRA AUTO SOUND. This truck has everything done to it......except the dash looks boring...... Time for us to work our magic. We gave Richard a Kenwood double din touch screen.....only issue was that his dash is not made to fit a double din. OEM stereo is a 1.5 din. This means we had to modify the radio bezel.

The DDX 318 and DDX 418 is ideal because it has no moving parts, what this means is the cut out can be the exact size as the radio. With some precise modification with no gaps around the deck it looks like it came from dodge.

Transformer Upgrade: Camaro

Posted on November 18, 2011

Brand new Chevy Camaro with headers and cat back exhaust. Sounds mean on the outside but can use a little spicing up on the inside. The Boston Acoustic manufacture stereo isn't cutting it. The simplest fix....change the speakers. even tho Boston Acoustic is a decent car audio manufacturer.....when it comes to OEM....a special line of speakers is developed from Boston to offer something on a budget but have the branding. We replaced these cheap Boston's with some high end focal speakers.

On the Left is the new Focal KR2 component speaker, on the right is the Boston Acoustic manufacturer speaker. As you can see the fancy Focal speaker on the left has a cast metal basket giving it a strong structure so it does not resonate.....just one of the many reasons that make this a MUCH better speaker.

Using the original speaker spacer the Focal KR2's are a perfect fit.

Looks the same......but definitely does not sound the same. Has a much warmer...softer sound.....with a good amount of volume. Removed the Boston badge on the speaker grill and replaced it with the Focal badge to give the new speakers credit.

Boom Box: xB

The guys over a Wacky Wings brought over their Scion XB to make it more appealing and at the same time make it sound good. Since this is going to be a promotional vehicle we are going to be installing a lot of lights. Strobe lights....under car lights...grill lights.

Installing strobe lights inside the headlights and tail lights require a lot of skill and some time. a heavy duty vacuum is required to suck out all the bits of plastic when drilling inside the casing of the headlight.

Two 12" JL Audio 12W1v2 Sub woofer enclosure. This is a good shallow sub woofer for a small setup.

2 tone custom finish. Trim panel being made to give it a finished built-in look

Custom sealed box built to sub woofer specification. "the box makes the sub"! Rounded edges. Material matched to the interior of the car. This is a perfect setup that is good for promotional and practical. Nice vehicle Wacky Wings!

Touch me: MR2

Posted on November 10, 2011

1992 Mr2 in mint condition. Except the audio!....especially when its about 20 years old. This Mr2 required a major over haul. New wires, speakers, deck, amplifier, sub woofer.

Kenwood Touch screen with bluetooth, capable of streaming nav and net flix from the iphone. Adding this head unit to the simple Mr2 dash brought the car up to date.

With the T tops off and the system playing over the wind noise .......it definitely is a fun little car. The MR2 is truly ahead of its time!
