GOTTA HAVE CARPLAY – With a new phone in his pocket, the owner of a 2008 Acura decided it was time to get connected to his ride.

Now he’s thinking about some new speakers and maybe a rear-view camera. No matter where you are on your technology journey, the Audio Express team is ready to help you reach your destination.

Stealth audio isn’t just for luxury vehicles. At our Reno location, we had a customer come in looking to get the best sounding bass possible while not taking up too much space in his work truck. We were able to get him just that. All it took is the perfect fit of JL Audio dual 10TW1 subwoofer enclosure. These JL Audio stealthboxes are a perfect combination of features. They are made specifically for the vehicle and fit like a glove. Plus, they are tuned specifically for that vehicle and deliver the finest sound quality possible. At its heart are subwoofers using a "concentric tube" structure built into the injection-molded cone body. This structure permits the placement of a large motor structure further forward in the speaker than with conventional designs. From this point, we had to think of what amp and source unit would be the absolute best fit for this build. We ended up going with a JL Audio HD750/1 mono amplifier. Tight power supply regulation in this JL Audio amp keeps distortion down and maximizes bass quality. It is all controlled by the Kenwood Excelon DDX6906s receiver with 6.8-inch monitor. It is CarPlay and Android Auto ready. The JL Audio Stealthbox installation was done by the professionals at Audio Express 7685 s. Virginia Street Reno, NV 85911 775-853-1717. If you are looking to upgrade your bass without losing your space, come check out what we offer in JL Audio Stealthboxes for your vehicle.

A 2010 Nissan Altima’s factory radio was starting to fail in multiple ways. So when the owner was ready to replace his car stereo, he stopped in to see our staff at our Reno location. Our crew members listened to his needs that consisted of a new radio that included Bluetooth. Our experts recommended and installed a JVC KWR935BTS Touch Screen Radio because not only is it easy to use but is something that looks great in the dashboard of his vehicle. Amongst the recommendation of the JVC car stereo, the experts also suggested adding a SXV300V1 SiriusXM satellite tuner so he would have more radio station options no matter where he was driving. Our audio lover loved the idea and SiriusXM but never thought about adding it to his car.

The audio lover who purchased this nice brand new 2019 Cam-AM didn’t want to pay the ridiculously high prices at the dealership to add a sound system and LED lighting to his toy. Instead, he headed over to our Reno location for all his needs at a fraction of the price. Kicker’s 43CX35 is a perfect complete 5 speaker system setup that includes an amp and radio to make any Cam-AM LOUD while out playing in the middle of nowhere. The 43CX35 gave our experts everything needed from a radio, to speakers with mounting pods, a single 10 inch subwoofer and all the wiring as well. To light up this nice toy, our experts installed two sets of Race Sport RSMKIT under the hood, under each front seat, and behind the rear seats so at night everyone riding along can easily enter and exit the Cam-AM. As for the driver, we installed a 50 inch Heise Infinity LED light bar so he can see for miles ahead of him. As an additional bonus for this audio lover, our pros connected his LED light bar to his interior LED lighting that changes colors so at any time, our audio lover can set his LED light bar and interior lights all as one color.
