Double din install installer fitter

Double din multimedia products have become the preferred all in one stereo for Sat Nav, Bluetooth, iPod and dvd playback.

With the right vehicle specific conversion pack and a professional install you will achieve a factory look. Double din stereos offer rear value for money because you are buying a single car audio product and not separates to do the same thing.

Adding an inexpensive active subwoofer with a four channel amplifier can also create that magical surround sound experience you get from the cinema into your car!­

When it comes to multimedia products Alpine rule the waves!

Their roof mounted DVD monitor is a must have product if you simply want a high def picture. As you can see the install is a very complex one involving cutting the roof lining out. The next stage is to build a MDF platform to bring the level to the lining level. The final stage is then to route your AV cable and screw the DVD monitor in.

 Audio upgrade for a BMW X1 2014

­­Audio Upgrade for a BMW X1 2014 plate

Our client had recently bought the BMW X1 SE model. This vehicle is quipped with the Professional i-drive system and has active subwoofers built under the seat.The speakers however, were of a poor quality and none amplified.

The brief was to make the car sound more dynamic and produce a much livelier sound stage. We recommended the Rainbow custom fit speakers for the front and a 2 channel amplifier to drive the speakers. The BMW professional stereo has no pre-outs for the amplifier so we installed a sophisticated line convertor.

For good measure we also soundproofed the doors! After 6 hours of intense installation the BMW upgrade was complete. After a careful set up of the crossovers and gain adjustment the audio system was transformed!It was a very pleasing result our client was delighted with our efforts.

If you require any form of audio upgrade for your vehicle please do not hesitate to contact our team on 0161 282 1891.

The BMW X1 audio installation was carried out in Cheshire.
