Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Audio System for Auburndale Biker

By

A client from Auburndale, FL, contacted Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland when researching motorcycle audio and lighting options for his Harley. He wanted to be able to hear the music over his pipes without taking up any additional room on the bike. He also wanted the bike to stand out more. Of course, he wanted to do all of this while staying within a reasonable budget.

Our expert motorcycle audio & lighting specialists here at Tunes-N-Tint installed JL Audio Vex Pods (PS650-VeX-SG-TMB-LDB) on the front of the bike. We created custom mounting brackets and used closed-cell foam to ensure the chrome finish was protected and the installation was secure. The JL Audio Vex Pods are powered by a JL Audio PowerSports Amplifier (MX280/4) with a matching Harley orange/black finish. The amplifier is mounted on a custom LED backlit plate that is tied into the bike’s new lighting system. The source for all of this audio is actually the customer’s iPhone.

We installed a hidden Bluetooth streaming device hidden so 100% of the music and volume control is directly from the customer’s iPhone. This is a common solution we use for powersports, motorcycle and marine projects to provide a stealth way to pipe sound directly from your pocket.

We installed a color-changing LED lighting package, hidden from view on this Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a custom controller that can be set to any color or will change colors to the roar of the motor.

The motorcycle and lighting specialists at Tunes-N-Tint can help build the motorcycle audio system of your dreams on virtually any budget.

Spring Hill Client Gets Audi A3 Audio Upgrade

By

The owner of this 2015 Audi A3 came to us all the way from Spring Hill, FL. He wasn’t happy with the sound system and wanted the ability to mirror his phone on his factory radio. After discussing integration options and goals with us, the customer decided to install a JL Audio TW1 series shallow sub in a very minimalistic enclosure. He decided to power it using a five-channel JL Audio XD1000/5 on his factory speakers.

The enclosure was very small, measuring in at less than 5 inches deep, so the client lost very little trunk room. We covered the enclosure in OEM-style Charcoal carpet and trimmed it out to the edge for a clean look. There was enough room for more subs, but this was a simple, elegant system and had more than enough bass for this Audi.

Factory head units can control sensors and door chimes, and be integrated into vehicle diagnostics systems. Keeping the factory head unit ensures we don’t alter any of those systems. By using sound integration pieces such as a CleanSweep or JL Audio FIX, we can maximize sound output and clarity, even with the various EQ curves or volume limitations the factory can sometimes place on their systems.

As a final integration piece, this customer wished to mirror his Android phone directly in the dash of his vehicle. Using our specialized video unlock products, we can add features such as a backup camera or external video sources to factory screens, even in high-end European vehicles.

Stop by and let one of our team members discuss your factory upgrade options, even when using a factory deck. Send us an e-mail using our contact form for more information.

Mercedes-Benz C230 Audio Upgrade for Repeat Lakeland Client

By

This 2006 Mercedes C230 has been to us a few times over the years from its Lakeland owner. This time, we built a simple, but custom, enclosure for a Kicker L7 15-inch subwoofer and installed a new Kenwood DNX-693 GPS navigation head unit into the vehicle. The Kenwood GPS navigation touchscreen integrated into the dash of this C230 very nicely. It has a clean but stock appearance. All of the interior speakers were upgraded previously, using Kicker components and a Kicker KX series four-channel amplifier.

To maintain a clean appearance but still get some serious bass in his Mercedes, the client decided to go with a Kicker L7 15”. Kicker offers some of the hardest-hitting bass out of its subs for the budget, but they take up a lot of trunk space and the enclosures can be quite large. Our client didn’t want to sacrifice his trunk space or his sound, so our Tunes-N-Tint team members built a vented enclosure that gave the sub the maximum air space possible. The enclosure is vented behind an edge-to-edge beauty panel that not only protects his new audio equipment but does so in a very clean, factory way.

The subwoofer is powered by a KX1600.1 amplifier, giving him plenty of head room to really make this system jam, all hidden behind the edge-to-edge beauty panel. Since this Kicker sub has a silver cone from the factory, we added some gray carpet as an accent piece around the enclosure’s baffle, bringing a subtle amount of attention to the woofer.

We gave this C230 a lot of bass in very little space, with rooms for golf clubs and strollers to spare. Stop by and let us give you a no-obligation quote for upgrading your vehicle’s sound system.

Jeep Wrangler Accessories for Lakeland Client

By

This 2016 Jeep Wrangler owner decided the stock look just wasn’t cutting it anymore, so she brought it to Tunes-N-Tint for some upgrades within the first six months of owning it. She was looking for the full off-road package – wheels, tires and a lift – but something that was still great on the streets.

The factory wheels were the first thing that had to go. Who likes rocking stock on a Wrangler? These vehicles are made for fun and they should look like it, too. We replaced the stock wheels with some 18” all-black Grenade series wheels by XD, wrapped in 33” Nitto Terra Grapplers. This is the aggressive but clean look that all Jeep Wranglers should come with.

Installing a set of 33” tires requires some minor suspension upgrades. To put these 33” mud tires on this Jeep Wrangler, we also had to do a suspension lift. We outfitted the Jeep with a premium lift kit by Rough Country, one of the many brands of lifts we use.

Not only did we install a 2.5” lift, but we also upgraded the Jeep with new dual front-end stabilizer bars. This is the off-road and rugged looks Jeeps are known for.

This client is also coming back for our Rhino Liner Interior Packages, available for Jeeps, trucks and other all-terrain vehicles. We offer more than just black – our liner materials are also available in custom colors,  all backed by Rhino’s leading lifetime warranty coverage.

Wranglers aren’t meant to be street cruisers; they are meant to have fun in. There is no reason you can’t look good doing it, and we’re here to help.
