Demo vehicle built for Castell Marketing

Our Audison/Hertz rep brought us his Mercedes E430 to install some Audison Voce gear to demo for clients.  He wanted to keep the install simple and have as much trunk room as possible.  Here is what we came up with.


Audison Voce AV K6.5
Audison Voce AV X6.5
Audison Bit One
Audison LRx4.1k
Audison LRx4.5




Nissan GTR

Customer brought us his GTR for some minor upgrades.  The factory sound system is damn good on this car.  He felt he needed a bit more midrange and high end on the car.  We replaced the 3inch midrange speakers in the doors with Hertz HL70 3inch speakers.  We replaced the tweeters with JBL GTO tweeters and we put a prototype Xclusv Autosports 4inch speaker in the center channel.  All of this was powered by a JL Audio XD400/4 amplifier which was installed under the drivers seat so that no alterations were done to the car.  While the car was being fitted with its audio upgrade, we decided to show some love towards the exterior of the car.  We removed the bottom plastics on the car and painted them body color.  We also removed the side markers and tail lights to give them a light smoke tint.  Once we got the car back together it was onto the seats.  Two tone gray leather with perforated black suede.  We look forward to getting this car back in to give it a full subwoofer package in the future.






Maybach Update

So after getting all the black paint off the Maybach, we rolled it into the booth and shot it with Mercedes' Designo Mystic White.


Painting Maybachs...... No big deal.

Always love to see we have happy customers.


Here is a testimonial from one of our customers after we finished the system in his Lamborghini.




"Took my time getting the audio upgrade done, but it's finally complete!. Here's a quick writeup (this is also referenced in less detail in the indie service centers thread within the Dealer Ratings sub forum)...

After taking ownership of my 03 Murci last year it became clear that the OEM stereo just wasn't going to cut it. I installed an Alpine iDA-X305S head unit myself, which was super easy (especially once I got a few tips from Infamous aka James from Xclusv Autosports in NY). It's a great head unit and has Pandora support from the iphone. Catch there is the iphone is a POS and until Apple gets their firmware straight it experiences sound "drop out" every minute or so. No worries though, as I connect my ipod and it works just fine. 

That got me along for a bit but it's been a while since I've had a car with a quality audio system in it, so the hunger for good sound grew stronger with every drive I took. My last car, an Exige S, I spent some time ugprading only the front and rear channel with no amp supplement, and that's as far as it went. The car before that (06 350Z) had a good front stage but the sub and pre-fab box were mismatched and performed only average. 

I got to talking more to James from Xclusv Autosports and we worked out a nice deal on some gear he had coming out of his own LP640. A Hertz Mille front stage and 10" sub, driven by an Audison amp was pretty much the exact setup I had been researching anyway, so I pulled the trigger on the gear.

I thought I'd be installing this stuff myself but I realized that task was best left to a pro for this job. That experience is described in more detail in the indie service centers thread but in a nutshell James flew down two of his best installers from New York to Louisiana to get this gear into my Murci the right way: professionally and cleanly. And they did an excellent job. I couldn't be happier! 

I just came back from a nice long cruise and the new system is STELLAR. It's exactly what I wanted. Nice thump, but overall emphasis on quality instead of pressure. No matter what type of music I throw at it (and I listen to a lot of different stuff, from AC/DC to Oakenfold to Clint Mansell) it handles it beautifully. James' guys Christopher and Joseph did a GREAT job tuning the amp. And there's just enough space in the old-cd changer well behind the passenger's seat (no e-gear) to let the 10" Hertz sub breath properly. The guys from Xclusv Autosports also trimmed everything up nicely with a beautiful amp rack in the boot and perfectly matched leather on the rack and the sub. I'm so happy! Here's a few pics to share below. Thanks for reading!"
