Tampa Client Gets Custom Chevy Malibu Stereo System

August 11, 2017 By Staff

Chevy-Malibu-Stereo-15 Tampa Client Gets Custom Chevy Malibu Stereo System A client from Tampa came to Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland for a 2011 Chevy Malibu stereo system. We talked to the customer about how he liked to listen to his music and the style of music he enjoys. It quickly became apparent that we were going to have to build something unique to meet the client’s needs.

Custom Door Panels

The whole bottom portion of the door panel was rebuilt. Triangle accents add some flair.

Our laser allowed for the precision engraving on the acrylic insert.

For the system to get as loud as the customer wanted, we devised a plan to use three sets of Rockford Fosgate P16-S components. To make the speakers fit, our fabrication team designed and created a set of custom door panels to replace the lower portion of the door trim. We used the grilles that came with the speakers to protect them when people get and out of the vehicle.

The panel includes an acrylic plastic insert at the rear of the door with the Rockford RF logo engraved in it. We did the engraving in-house with our laser. We wrapped the new door panel with black vinyl and mounted the tweeters from the component sets in the top portion of the door, above the door handle. We also mounted a set of T1692 6×9-inch speakers in the rear factory locations to fill out the sound of the system.

Rockford Subwoofer System

The parts our team fabricated were carpeted in a matching carpet to give a factory upgrade look.

Additional lighting was used in the trunk to highlight the back part of the build.

We constructed a vented enclosure for a pair of 12-inch Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12 subwoofers. The subs fire into the trunk and are trimmed in a carpeted panel that extends to the edge of the trunk. We created a second trim panel for the floor of the trunk and included a Chevy bowtie in the center of the panel for a little extra flair.

Purple is just one of the virtually unlimited colors available for accent.

We installed a Kenwood DNX893S in the dash – a double-DIN multimedia receiver with a 6.95-inch touch-panel display. The unit features both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so the client can stay in contact with his family and friends by phone or text messaging without taking his eyes off the road.

The Kenwood eXcelon receiver feeds audio to a 1,500 watt Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP amplifier.

The last touch was to install a Racesport RSI-Kit interior LED kit and audio controller. The lighting color and pattern follows the beat of the music to illuminate the interior.

The client loved the way the system sounds – it gets insanely loud and looks pretty cool. If you are looking for a unique sound system like the Chevy Malibu stereo we built for this client, drop by Tunes-N-Tint or send us an e-mail.

Product Spotlight: Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP

August 4, 2017 By Staff

Kenwood-Excelon-XR600-6DSP-1 Product Spotlight: Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP Here at Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland, we are always looking for cutting-edge products to meet the needs of our clients. Integrating into a premium factory system has been challenging in some cases, but the new Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP now takes adding an amplifier to your factory system to a whole new level. Used with the iDatalink Maestro Module, even the most complex factory system can get a power upgrade.

What will the Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP do for me?

Kenwood-Excelon-XR600-6DSP-4-300x200 Product Spotlight: Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP First of all, it will allow you to upgrade your smaller factory amplifier to a more robust 75 watts x 6 channels at 4 ohms – 100 watts x 6 at 2 ohms. It uses Class D amplifier technology for super-efficient power and a compact chassis. It gives you a very sophisticated digital signal processor (DSP) that works with your iPhone or Android via an app that gives you a wide variety of digital processing power.

Why is it Different from Other Amplifiers?

The major difference is how the Excelon XR600-6DSP connects to factory premium sound systems. Trying to upgrade some systems required “summing” the signals to get a full-range signal back, which could then be connected to a new amplifier. Frequently, this lead to the loss of some of your audio controls, such as the fader or tone controls, and some of the audible vehicle notifications like door chimes either didn’t work or were too loud. By using the iDatalink Maestro in conjunction with the XR600-6DSP, you get a cleaner signal and full functionality of your factory head unit features.

What is the iDatalink Maestro?

Kenwood-Excelon-XR600-6DSP-6-e1501642178833-300x84 Product Spotlight: Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP The iDatalink Maestro uses a vehicle-specific T-harness to connect seamlessly to the factory radio harness with a growing list of vehicle-specific adapters. It allows the factory system to continue to communicate with an upgraded amplifier when functions originally in the factory amplifier are removed. This option takes our ability to upgrade your factory system to a whole new level.

What is DSP?

Digital signal processing (DSP) takes the analog signal and converts it to a digital signal, the powerful processor in the XR600-6DSP can allow us to make some very complex adjustments to the signal via a powerful Bluetooth-connected iPhone or Android app. We can adjust crossover points and slopes for a system using separate components, make audio adjustments through the built-in 13 band EQ with three additional parametric adjustments, and make time alignment adjustments to dial in the sound.

As vehicles have become more sophisticated, the solutions to upgrade them have as well. Here at Tunes-N-Tint, we have products like the Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP that will allow us to give you the upgrades you want. Come in and talk to our sales and installation experts about your vehicle, or click here for more information.

Fiat 500 Graphics Enhance Lakeland Client’s Ride

A Fiat 500 owner from Lakeland wanted to dress up the exterior look of his ride without spending a ton of money. To keep it very clean and simple, we opted to go with a premium graphics pack for the exterior. Minor changes like this can dramatically change the look of the vehicle and create some stunning effects on a budget.

The vinyl we use is designed for vehicle decals in wraps. It’s a very durable, easy-to-remove material that will last for years, even in the Florida sun and heat. Although there are cheaper options for “sticker material” like what some of our competitors use, we stick to the premium series of vinyls from companies like 3M and use 1080P Materials when doing vehicle wraps.

We cut and installed these graphics in-house here at Tunes-N-Tint. We have no need to outsource our services because we have multiple plotters, high-resolution printers and even laser cutting capabilities.

The orange graphics on this Fiat really made the vehicle pop (similar designs can be found on some of the premium packages Fiat offers). Ghosting stripes/logos are also available (flat black on high-gloss black paint). We added a full-color sun strip across the windshield for the final touch.

Our client loved this subtle graphics pack upgrade. Now his Fiat 500 stands out and is personalized without spending a ton of money. Racing stripes, logos, “in memory of” decals and much more are some of the various vehicle graphics services available here at Tunes-N-Tint. Our options for your vehicle are only limited by your imagination.

Quotes and advice are always free. Stop by any time or contact us online.

A Tunes-N-Tint Client from Lakeland who had a love for grilling and audio just took home this custom BBQ Grill package. Now grilling is going to be so much more fun while rocking out to the built-in Kenwood stereo package. What better way to blend two of the best summer pastimes than cooking out with some great music? Here at Tunes-N-Tint, we love ’em both!

This system features a 400 W Kenwood Bluetooth amp that allows wireless streaming directly from the client’s iPhone or Android smartphone. The amplifier powers two Kenwood speakers that we mounted in the stainless steel doors of the BBQ grill. They are sealed on the back and take up virtually no room on the inside.

Inside the grill, we installed a small, 12 V power source and charging system that maintains the battery. We understand you’re not always cooking out near an outlet, so this one is portable and can play for up to four hours from the battery.

This particular build didn’t feature an actual radio, since everything is handled by Bluetooth streaming. For those who want a full-featured AM/FM radio and/or CD player. We can also offer marine source unit solutions.

Tunes-N-Tint offers custom audio solutions for a wide range of vehicles and applications. We’ve done custom Power Wheels, beach and party coolers, BBQ grills, locker boxes, self-contained ‘REAL BOOM BOXES’ and much more. No matter what your audio, video, electronics or customization needs are, the experts at Tunes-N-Tint can trick out all your toys.

Stop on by and let one of our team members show you how. You can reach us for more information by using our online contact form.
