When it comes to upgrading the audio system in late-model vehicles, Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland suggests the Rockford Fosgate DSR1 interface and tuning solution. The DSR1 combines the tuning capabilities of the 3Sixty digital signal processor with the OEM integration and CAN Bus communication features of the iDatalink Maestro integration module. The combination makes it easy for us to create an audio upgrade that sounds amazing.
Features of the Rockford Fosgate DSR1
The DSR1 includes four analog inputs and a digital input to accept signals from a variety of factory-installed radios. Internally, the system provides adjustable high- and low-pass crossovers and 31 bands of equalization on each of its eight output channels. We can also configure signal delay and fine-tune the level of each output to create a listening experience that rivals many premium home audio systems.
Why Your Car Needs Digital Signal Processing
Working in the digital domain, a digital signal processor allows for extremely precise and repeatable adjustments. Not only can we tailor the sound of your system to your listening preferences, but we can also compensate for vehicle-specific acoustic challenges like resonances and adjust for less-than-ideal speaker placement using signal delay and precise output level controls. The result is a sound system that accurately places instruments and performers across the front of your vehicle to recreate the same listening experience that the engineers and producers experienced in the recording studio.
Maestro Vehicle Integration Features
The DSR1 is an amazing signal processor on its own. When combined with the integration features of the Maestro interface, the functionality is improved dramatically. In vehicles where we can’t replace the factory radio, the Maestro interface intercepts the digital communication information between the radio and the factory-installed amplifier and sends those commands to the DSR1. Volume functions, navigation prompts, Bluetooth audio, warning chimes and even bass, treble, balance and fader adjustments all work the way you want, but through upgraded amplifiers and speakers for much better sound. The steering wheel buttons for your stereo will continue to function, as will secondary displays in the instrument cluster.
The DSR1 installs between your factory radio and amplifier in many Chrysler, Buick, Fiat, Ford, Jeep, Lexus, Maserati, Ram, Subaru and Toyota vehicles.

If you own a Can-Am Maverick X3 and are looking for an amazing audio system, drop by Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland and check out the Rockford Fosgate X3 Stage5 audio system package. 
At the heart of any entertainment system is a great source unit. Rockford took its marine-ready PMX-2 digital media receiver and created a custom mounting bezel specifically designed for the X3. The PMX-2 includes an AM/FM/weather band receiver, Bluetooth audio streaming with AVRCP remote control and a stereo auxiliary input. The PMX-2 can withstand water, dust and dirt, thanks to its Element-Ready design.
The X3-STAGE2 kit adds a set of speakers and enclosures to the X3-STAGE1 kit. Speakers make Stage 2 the perfect starting point for off-road enthusiasts who want to enjoy their favorite music while on the trails or in the dunes. The Stage 2 kit includes a set of RFX3-FSE roto-molded speaker enclosures that fit on top of the X3 dash and mount using factory fastener locations. Rockford includes a set of its Prime series RM1652 coaxial speakers, which can handle all the water, dust and dirt you can sling at them without any problem. The X3-STAGE2 kit includes direct-connect wiring harnesses to save our installers time while they’re installing your upgrade.
Anyone who has added an amp and sub to their car or truck knows that it makes a huge difference in the sound of their music. The X3-STAGE3 kit adds a Power series TM400X4ad four-channel amplifier, an RM110D2B marine-grade subwoofer and Rockford’s RFX3-FWED subwoofer enclosure. The enclosure bolts under the driver’s seat using factory fasteners.
More is better, right? If you think the way we do, then the X3-STAGE4 kit might be the perfect solution for your Can-Am side-by-side. Rockford adds a set of its cool little Prime series mini tower speaker enclosures and a set of custom mounting brackets to the contents of the Stage 3 kit. The speaker cans mount to the roll cage behind the driver’s and passenger’s seats to wrap music around you while you’re having fun. The Power series four-channel amp has no problem driving the four speakers and subwoofer.
Rockford knows that too much is just right when it comes to music. The Rockford Fosgate X3 Stage5 system starts by upgrading the speakers to Punch PM2652B models to handle the additional power provided by the monster Power series TM1000X5ad five-channel amplifier. To keep up with these new speakers and an impressive 100 watts per channel, Stage 5 includes a second subwoofer enclosure for the passenger side of the vehicle. The new amp can produce up to 600 watts on the subwoofer channel, so having enough bass won’t ever be a problem.

We have teamed with Rockford Fosgate, one of the most recognized brands in the mobile electronics industry, to provide our clients with a variety of application-specific audio system upgrade packages that sound amazing. Let’s look at what’s available for the RZR.
The RZR-STAGE1 kit includes Rockford’s awesome PMX-2 marine-grade digital media receiver and a custom mounting kit. The mounting kit works with the center storage compartment of your RZR 900, 4, S or XP to put the radio right at your fingertips.
Most of our clients start with the RZR-STAGE2 kit. This package includes everything from STAGE1 and adds a set of front speaker pods. The RFRZ-FSE pods bolt into most 2014 and newer RZR vehicles just below the dash. The kit includes a set of RM1652B 6.5-inch, marine-grade coaxial speakers. The composite plastic pods are lightweight but durable enough to ensure your music will sound great, even when you are leaping off the top of the dunes. Rockford includes all the wiring we will need to get the system up and running in your side-by-side.
The real fun begins with the RZR-STAGE3 system. STAGE3 includes everything that STAGE2 does and adds a pair of amplifiers and a subwoofer system. The result? You get much better bass response, clearer sound and WAY more volume. The RZR-STAGE3 includes a single 10-inch Prime series RM110D2B subwoofer and the RFRZ-FEW subwoofer enclosure. The composite enclosure bolts directly to the vehicle and is located up under the dash of the vehicle.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, RZR-STAGE4 adds a set of RM1652W-MB speaker enclosures to the STAGE3 system for even more sound and improved clarity when the throttle is pinned. These compact marine-grade speaker enclosures feature a coaxial 6.5-inch woofer and, of course, all the brackets, hardware and cabling required for us to install everything. The rear enclosures mount to the roll bar, so you know everything will stay solid and secure.
Using the same source unit and enclosures as STAGE4, the Rockford Fosgate RZR-STAGE5RZR-STAGE5 kit ups the ante by including Punch series speakers and a subwoofer, and Power series amplifiers. PM2652B speakers provide clearer sound and can handle the additional power from the TM400X4ad amplifier. The T1S2-10 subwoofer provides deeper bass and even more output, thanks to the TM750X1ad 750-watt amplifier. If you want the most volume and clarity from your RZR audio system, the RZR-STAGE5 kit is the ultimate solution.
