Advantages Of High-Heat-Rejection Window Tint From Ocala Car Audio

Window TintOcala Car Audio has been a specialist in window tint since our inception. Our goal is to provide the best-value, highest-performing products to our clients at multiple price points.

Many people think all tint is created equal, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Follow along with us as we explore the advantages of buying a high-heat-rejection window tint.

Your Vehicle Will Be Noticeably Cooler in the Florida Summer

We all know it gets hot in the summer in Florida. Think of how often you walk out to your vehicle on a hot summer day and feel a blast of hot air escaping the instant you open the door. Who wants to get in there and drive away? No one. What you are experiencing is called the “greenhouse effect,” where the sun’s infrared heat rays heat up the air inside your vehicle, making it unbearable.

The good news is we can help. Our 3M Color Stable and Crystalline tint were designed from the ground up to reduce the sun’s heat effect on your vehicle dramatically. Here’s an eye-opening fact for you: Our Crystalline tint blocks 70% more heat than a basic film! If you think buying just any window tint is going to make a big difference in heat rejection, you will be sorely disappointed on that first hot day.

Our High-heat-rejection Film Won’t Fade

Window TintWe have all driven along and seen vehicles tinted with what looks like purple film. That film started out looking black and faded over time as the dye inside it went bad from sun exposure. Some of these cheaper films can turn purple in as little as six months. Our Color Stable and Crystalline film isn’t dyed films, so they can’t turn purple. What that means to you is a tint job that looks just as good in three years as the day you bought it.

No Worries about Big Bubble Syndrome

What is Big Bubble Syndrome? Have you ever noticed a tint job that had huge bubbles on it? We call that Big Bubble Syndrome. It happens when someone buys inexpensive window tint and the layers start to separate or delaminate from exposure to the sun. There’s no need to worry about that at Ocala Car Audio since our 3M films are the finest quality on the market and will never delaminate.

Stop In and See Us

The best way to buy window tint is in person. If you come to our shop, that will allow us to get to know you and your needs better and let you feel the difference in heat rejection levels on our interactive display. Let us show you why people all around Ocala choose Ocala Car Audio for their window tinting. You can also contact us by clicking HERE. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

Product Spotlight: JL Audio RD400/4 Amplifier

JL Audio RD400Here at Ocala Car Audio we are always evaluating the latest gear to meet our client’s needs. A great amplifier that has given us a lot of flexibility, in both system design, and solving space issues, is the JL Audio RD400/4.

Clean Design

The first thing you notice about this amp is the nice clean high tech appearance of the outer case. The cool blue LED lights let you know when it is powered up, and the subtle JL Audio logo let’s you know that you are looking at one of the best amps on the market today. The controls are all hidden underneath an access panel adding to the clean and simple lines. Remove the cover and you have a full complement of controls to dial in a great sounding and flexible set up.

Clean Power

JL Audio RD400/4The amplifier gives you a very useful power rating of 100 watts by 4 into 2 ohms – or 75 by 4 into a 4 ohm load. To add to its flexibility it can be bridged into 2 channels at 200 watts each – enough to make a lot of woofers to stand up and take notice. The power is  JL Audio’s NexD technology for a clean and efficient Class D amp, in a small case that gives you lots of mounting options in a small vehicle, or where space is at a premium. It all fits nicely in a 9 13/16″ by 2 1/8″ by 7″ package.

Clean Signal

JL Audio RD400The input section will accommodate either high (speaker) or low level inputs. It has built in crossovers that are selectable for high or low pass, and then adjustable for 50 to 500 Hz. It has very handy clip indicator lights that can be used to set the gains properly. It accepts 4 guage power wire and ground so you can feed it plenty of juice.

Flexibility

Use one of these amps for 4 great co-axial or component speakers and then add a second one in bridged mode for plenty of bass to keep up. This amp gives you plenty of flexibility for both.

Repeat Ocala Horse Trailer Client Adds Camera System

A repeat client from Ocala recently brought us his new horse trailer to add security cameras to it. The client previously had us install cameras in his old trailer. He liked the convenience and safety of being able to monitor the horses in real time as he was transporting them. We chose the Rostra 250-8211 IR cameras for this trailer. These cameras work well in low light, so regardless of the time of day, the horses will still be visible to the client. We used a total of four cameras for monitoring each horse stall on the trailer. We made sure to neatly secure and run all the wires in the trailer, keeping with our best-practices standards.

When our work was completed and we had finished our final check-out of the trailer, we presented it to the client. The client now can drive more comfortably, knowing that he can keep an eye on each horse stall and address any issues that may arise in a timely manner.

If you have a unique need for monitoring cargo in a trailer or vehicle, stop by today to let the experts at Ocala Car Audio help find a solution for you.

Ocala Dodge Durango Leather and Technology Upgrades

This Ocala client was referred to us by Alea Leather for a Dodge Durango leather interior upgrade.  After spending some time with the client, learning more about his new vehicle, we found there were a few more things he wanted to upgrade.

We started with installing the leather package from Alea Leather. The client liked the Police Interceptor aspects of his ride, so we embroidered the headrests with the logo. To give the client many more audio sources, as well as a screen for viewing a backup camera, we installed a Kenwood DNX892HD double DIN touch screen. To enhance his backing safety, we used a VOXX backup camera as well as VOXX parking sensors.

Once we had the interior freshened up, it was time to protect it. First, our window tint experts installed genuine 3M automotive window film on the Durango’s windows. This film will help protect the new interior from UV rays, as well as drastically reduce the interior temperature during these hot Florida summers. To keep the floor looking new, even during the rainy times, we installed a set of WeatherTech floor liners. These trap water and mud, and keep it from damaging the carpet of the vehicle.

With the work completed, we performed our final vehicle checkout, and then handed the keys over to the client. He loved all of the changes we made to his new ride.

Subaru WRX Audio System Upgrade for Fruitland Park Client

This Fruitland Park client came to us wanting his 2016 Subaru WRX audio system upgraded after reading many of our excellent online reviews. After talking with the client, we learned his desires for the audio system upgrade and worked up a quote for him.

Powering the system is a JL Audio xd1000/5v2 that has five channels with enough power for all the speakers in the car. We mounted the amplifier up under the rear deck of the WRX on a custom-fabricated metal mounting rack. In the front, we replaced the speakers with JL Audio C5-650 component speakers. The separate tweeter allows optimal angling for the best sound quality.

We replaced the rear speakers with JL Audio C5-650x coaxial speakers and used Road Kill sound damping on both sets of speakers to enhance the system sound quality even further.

The final piece to the audio puzzle was the bass upgrade. For this system, we chose one of the finest subwoofers available: the JL Audio 10w6v3. We installed the killer sub in a custom-fabricated enclosure in the rear driver side of the trunk.

Once the system was tuned by our experts, the sound was phenomenal!
