Product Spotlight: Alpine iLX-W650

Alpine iLX-W650If you’re looking for an impressive digital media receiver for your car or truck, drop into Ocala Car Audio and ask about the Alpine iLX-W650. This premium double-DIN radio includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual camera inputs and a crystal-clear, capacitive-touch 7-inch LCD screen.

Endless Source Options

The Alpine iLX-W650 includes an AM/FM tuner, and we can add SiriusXM satellite radio using an SXV300 tuner module during the installation process. Bluetooth functions include hands-free calling and high-quality audio streaming with remote control capabilities.

Smartphone Voice Recognition Features

A USB port on the rear of the chassis can be used with an appropriate cable to enable Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. These communication interfaces allow you to make phone calls or send text messages by talking to the radio. In most vehicles, a radio button interface for your steering wheel allows for the voice recognition features to be utilized without having to take your eyes off the road or touch the radio. Both systems include several options for turn-by-turn navigation directions to the destination of your choice.

Alpine iLX-W650 Audio Features

The iLX-W650 includes a 9-band parametric equalizer, adjustable frequency electronic crossovers and signal delay adjustments that our team can use to create a very lifelike listening experience in your vehicle. Triple 4-volt preamp outputs allow for the addition of a subwoofer or a high-power amplifier from your front speakers to bring the system to life.

Shallow Chassis Makes Installation Easy

Alpine iLX-W650One of the unique aspects of the iLX-W650 is that the entire radio chassis is less than three inches deep. This design opens up several installation options for vehicles like Ford Mustangs and Chevy pickup trucks. We can even tuck one of the KTA-450 four-channel amplifiers behind the radio to deliver a clean 50 watts of power to each of your speakers.

Visit Ocala Car Audio to Experience this Unique Radio Solution

If the Alpine ILX-W650 sounds like a good solution for your vehicle, drop into Ocala Car Audio on Pine Avenue and ask for a demonstration. For more information, send our team an e-mail using the contact page.

Product Spotlight: Alpine iLX-F259

Alpine iLX-F259Ocala Car Audio is proud to introduce the next generation of Alpine Halo 9 source units with the new iLX-F259. Equipped with a 9-inch floating-design touchscreen that sits just in front of your dash like in a Mercedes-Benz or Mazda, this impressive multimedia receiver includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity and support for a variety of digital media file formats. Let’s take a closer look.

The Amazing Alpine Halo 9 Design

One of the biggest challenges for someone wanting to upgrade the radio in their car or truck has been to find a mounting solution for a double-DIN multimedia receiver. The product specialists at Alpine overcame this roadblock with the floating-screen design of the Halo 9 source units. Equipped with a single-DIN chassis, the 9-inch touchscreen mounts in front of the radio location and is adjustable for height, mounting angle and distance from the dash for a clean and tidy look.

Alpine iLX-F259At the heart of the F259 is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.

The USB port will play MP3, WMA, AAC and FLAC files as well as AVI and MPEG4 video files stored on a USB memory stick. With SiriusXM compatibility, you can have us add the SXV300v1 satellite radio tuner when we install the unit so that you can enjoy your favorite genre of music anywhere in the country without interruption.

Connectivity Options

The F259 includes an HDMI input on the back so you can connect an external video source like an overhead monitor, your laptop, a compact computer or a game system. A dedicated rear-vision camera input makes it easier and safer to park or maneuver your vehicle. The camera image appears automatically without the need to press any buttons as soon as you put the vehicle transmission in reverse.

Product Spotlight: 3M Obsidian Window Film

3M Obsidian Window FilmThe new 3M Obsidian window tint film is now available at Ocala Car Audio. Obsidian offers the same great look as its predecessor. Still, it adds improved UV protection and IR rejection properties that will keep you safe and comfortable on a hot Florida summer day. Read on to find out more about the features that are destined to make this one of our most popular film solutions.

UV Protection Keeps You Cool

Depending on the darkness of the film you choose, Obsidian tint offers up to 44 percent of the total solar energy protection. This includes visible light as well as infrared energy that heats the interior of your vehicle. Imagine if only almost half of the summer heat made it into your vehicle. Your air conditioning system wouldn’t have to work as hard and your car or truck would cool off much faster.

Premium Dyed Film Technology

3M Obsidian Window FilmThe new Obsidian tint uses 3M’s patented infused technology to offer dramatically increased performance and durability compared with many other dyed films. Infused technology improves the bond between the dye particles and the optically transparent carrier film. 3M has invested countless hours in perfecting the design of Obsidian’s UV rejection characteristics to achieve an impressive 99 percent UV rejection rating. That’s the equivalent of wearing a lotion sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 1,000, and it applies to all film levels from OB 70 to the ultra-dark OB 5.

Expert Window Tint Installation by Ocala Car Audio

As important as the characteristics of the film are, how the tint is installed on your vehicle determines how it looks and often how long it will last. The team at Ocala Car Audio has years of experience in automotive window tint installation. We use only the highest quality materials and also utilize our CNC plotter so that we never have to cut film on your vehicle. Even with the utmost of care, cutting tint on a car or truck can lead to scratches in the glass.

If you are interested in a high-performance window film that won’t break the bank, drop by Ocala Car Audio and speak with one of our product specialists or send us an e-mail using our contact page.

Product Spotlight: WeatherTech FloorLiners

WeatherTech FloorLinersWhen it comes to keeping the carpet in your new car or truck looking like new, no product on the market offers better protection than a set of WeatherTech FloorLiners from Ocala Car Audio. These floor mats are designed and constructed to match the contour of the floor of the vehicle for a perfect fit that will keep dirt, sand and debris away from your carpet. Let’s look at what makes these floor mats the best.

Custom Designed For Each Application

WeatherTech FloorLinersWeatherTech is based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, and its people work hard to make sure that the materials and products they sell use American resources wherever possible. Each FloorLiner application starts with a three-dimensional laser scan of the vehicle. The scan includes the location of retaining clips, fuel door and trunk release levers, the dead pedal and the contour of the floor. WeatherTech’s team of engineers takes this scan and creates a model of the vehicle interior. From that, they design a floor mat that offers as much protection as reasonably possible. The sides of the mat extend up the firewall and center hump of the vehicle, as well as into the door sills in many applications. The goal is to provide as much coverage and protection as possible.

Premium Materials Ensure Excellent Reliability

Each floor mat is injection molded using nationally sourced materials to create WeatherTech’s proprietary thermopolyolefin (TPO) synthetic rubber. This material stays durable on the hottest of Florida summer days and can withstand a trip to New York or Maine on the coldest days of winter. The surface of WeatherTech FloorLiners has a textured finish that prevents you and your passengers from slipping when getting in or out of the vehicle. Any factory floor mat retainers are repurposed to keep everything securely in place.

FloorLiner mats are available in several colors, including black, grey and tan, and include front, rear and third-row applications. WeatherTech even offers trunk and cargo area mats to help keep your car looking like new. If you are interested in keeping the interior of your vehicle clean and maintaining its resale value, drop by Ocala Car Audio and ask about WeatherTech FloorLiners. You can also reach us by e-mail using our contact page.

Product Spotlight: Rockford Fosgate HD14TKIT

Rockford Fosgate HD14TKITIf you own a 2014 or newer Harley-Davidson cruiser, drop by Ocala Car Audio and check out the Rockford Fosgate HD14TKIT amp and speaker kit. Designed to bolt directly into your 2014+ Street Glide or 2015+ Road Glide, the kit includes everything we need to make your motorcycle audio system sound stunning. Let’s take a close look at what’s included in the HD14TKIT and explain why it’s a great option to upgrade your motorcycle stereo system.

What Comes With the Rockford Fosgate HD14TKIT

The HD14TKIT includes a pair of 6.5-inch TMS65 Element Ready water-resistant coaxial speakers and a set of replacement grilles that drop right into the factory openings in the fairing. The system also includes a marine-grade, four-channel, 400-watt Rockford Fosgate Power Series TM400Xad amplifier, with all the wiring we need to connect the amp to your bike’s wiring and a mounting bracket to locate the amp above the radio.

What Does the HD14TKIT Sound Like?

Rockford Fosgate HD14TKITCompared to the factory stereo on your Harley-Davidson, your sound system will not only play louder, but it will have more bass, improved clarity and more detail in the high-frequency region. We can wire the TM400Xad to deliver up to 200 watts to each of the speakers, or 100 watts to each of the front speakers and still power a set of rear speakers in your Tour Pak or saddlebags with 100 watts. If you have a 1998 through 2013 Street Glide, Rockford offers a very similar upgrade solution in its HD9813SG-TKIT.

Hertz Mille Pro Speakers Make Your Music Come Alive

Hertz Mille Pro SpeakersWhen it comes to getting great sound in your vehicle or on a motorcycle, Ocala Car Audio recommends Hertz Mille Pro speakers. Designed in Italy, Mille Pro component and coaxial speakers offer exceptionally smooth frequency response, excellent detail and great output capabilities. Whether you’re rocking out to your favorite bands or relaxing with jazz or classical music on a long drive, great speakers are a crucial component in recreating your music accurately.

Mille Pro Component Speakers

Hertz Mille Pro SpeakersSystems like the MPK 165.3 PRO and the impressive MPK 1650.3 PRO are considered among the best component speakers available. These systems combine premium technologies like the V-Cone woofer and Boundary Free Surround to offer smooth and detailed midrange performance with excellent midbass impact.

The tweeters included in these sets use Tetolon fiber domes for great dynamic performance and extended high-frequency response and clarity. The low resonant frequency of the tweeter helps to create a stable and accurate soundstage in any installation. Both systems include passive crossover networks with flexible configuration options that allow us to fine-tune the system once we install the woofers and tweeters in your vehicle.

If your application calls for a three-way speaker set, the MPK 163.3 PRO adds a 3-inch midrange and upgraded crossover to the MPK 165.3 kit. As more and more vehicles come with three-way front speaker systems, the MPK 163.3 PRO is a great upgrade!

Hertz Mille Pro Coaxial Speaker Solutions

Coaxial speakers often don’t get the credit they deserve. Case in point: the MPX 165.3 PRO 6.5-inch 2-way speaker set. These speakers sound great in the doors or rear deck of a vehicle and are one of our most popular solutions for motorcycle audio upgrades. The MPX 165.3 PRO speakers are rated for 100 watts of power handling, thanks to the large 36mm voice coil. The same pressed pulp woofer cone and soft dome tweeter design used in the component speakers ensure that these coaxial speakers sound amazing.

Hertz offers these same features and technologies in a 6×9 speaker with a three-way design called the MPX 690.3 PRO. A larger voice coil increases their power handling to an impressive 130 watts, and the increased surface area of the woofer improves bass response and system efficiency.

Experience Hertz Mille Pro Speakers at Ocala Car Audio

When it’s time to upgrade the realism and performance of your mobile sound system, drop by Ocala Car Audio and audition the Hertz Mille Pro speakers. We have several sizes on display and can let you know which suit your application the best. Be sure to bring your favorite music with you! For more information, give us a call at 352-512-9897 or send us an e-mail using our online contact page.

Product Spotlight: Metra 95-HDIF

Metra 95-HDIFIf you own a 1998 through 2013 Harley-Davidson FLH cruiser with the batwing fairing, the new Metra 95-HDIF is now available at Ocala Car Audio to make upgrading your radio easier than ever. This premium inner fairing replacement kit has a high-gloss black finish and provides room for your favorite Double-DIN radio and speakers.

Options for Double-DIN Source Units

Metra 95-HDIFThe 95-HDIF makes upgrading your Harley sound system easier than ever. The stock radio location allows for a Single-DIN radio chassis. While there are many radio options available in that size, they don’t compare to what’s available from a Double-DIN radio.

One of the biggest benefits of upgrading to a Double-DIN radio is the availability of navigation systems. You can plot a route up to Sturgis, Myrtle Beach or Laconia to make your trip safe and efficient. Smartphone Integration solutions like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are another great feature to make your ride safer. Many helmet Bluetooth kits are compatible with these smartphone solutions, so there’s no need to yell at your radio.

Metra 95-HDIF Premium Fairing Kit

The 95-HDIF includes the painted inner fairing, a radio mounting bracket, speaker grilles and rings and all the hardware required to complete the installation. The installation staff at Ocala Car Audio is available to handle the complex process of swapping over all the gauges to the new fairing and completing the radio integration process.

Installation Options and Customization

If you want the Metra 95-HDIF custom painted for your application, let us know — we have lots of contacts for great paintwork. We can also upgrade the speakers and add an amplifier to dramatically improve the clarity, detail and volume capabilities of your motorcycle audio system.

Ocala’s Motorcycle Audio Experts

If you are tired of a wimpy sound system, drop by Ocala Car Audio and speak with a member of our team. We usually have a motorcycle or two on-site with an upgraded audio system that you can audition, and we’d be happy to design a custom solution for your needs and application. If you can’t drop by, give us a call or send an e-mail using our contact page for more information on any of the products and services we offer.

Product Spotlight: Kenwood KAC-M3004

Kenwood KAC-M3004When it comes to great amplifiers that fit in small spaces, Ocala Car Audio is fond of the Kenwood KAC-M3004. This four-channel amplifier is rated to produce 50 watts of power per channel when connected to a four-ohm load. It features a compact 6-1/2 by 3-7/8-inch footprint that makes it ideal for motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides, marine and automotive applications. Let’s take a close look at the features of this great little amplifier.

Kenwood KAC-M3004 Specifications

As we mentioned, the KAC-M3004 is a 50 watt per channel amp. The amp produces 75 watts per channel when loaded to two ohms and can be configured as a two-channel amp that produces 150 watts per channel into a four-ohm load. The M3004 uses efficient Class D circuitry to maximize the power from the vehicle electrical system and extend playtime with the engine off.

Amplifier Layout and Controls

The KAC-M3004 has a terminal block on the right end-panel for power and ground connections. It features a Molex connector with the four pairs of speaker wires. Two sets of nickel-plated RCA input jacks are located on the opposite end of the amp. To the right of the jacks are input sensitivity controls that allow us to match this amplifier with source units that produce anywhere from 0.2 to 5 volts of output on the preamp. To the left of the jacks are two potentiometers that adjust the built-in high- and low-pass electronic crossovers.

Compact Amplifier Applications

Kenwood KAC-M3004One of our most popular application for the Kenwood KAC-M3004 is in the fairing of a motorcycle. When bridged to a pair of high-quality speakers, the 150 watts of power are a perfect solution to ensure your music is produced with clarity, even at high volume levels. Kenwood has constructed this amp for marine and outdoor applications. This includes a corrosion-resistant coating on the circuit board and protective covers for the controls to help keep dust out.

If you are in the market for a great amplifier that can fit in very small spaces, drop by Ocala Car Audio and ask about the KAC-M3004 from Kenwood. You can also reach us by e-mail using our contact form for more information about our Kenwood amplifiers.

Product Spotlight: JL Audio C3-650

JL Audio C3-650When it comes to speaker upgrades, the JL Audio C3-650 coaxial speaker set is one of our favorite upgrades here at Ocala Car Audio. This 6.5-inch convertible speaker set not only sounds great, but it can handle an impressive amount of power and offers excellent efficiency. Let’s take a look at the C3-650 up close.

JL Audio C3-650 Convertible Speaker Set

JL Audio C3-650What are convertible speakers? In the case of the C3-650, the 1-inch silk-dome tweeter can be installed in the center of the woofer to create a premium coaxial speaker design, or the tweeter can be mounted separately from the woofer to create a component set. If you are upgrading your car or truck, we typically mount the woofer in the door and the tweeter on the dash, in the sail panel at the top of the door or in the A-pillar to improve the height of the soundstage.

Speaker Features

The JL Audio C3-650 includes a pair of speakers, a set of passive crossover networks and a set of grilles. The woofer features an injection-molded polypropylene woofer cone that uses a mineral additive for added strength and thermal stability. The cone remains rigid, even at high volume levels. The tweeter in the set uses a 1-inch soft-dome diaphragm, and the kit includes flush and surface mounting accessories.

Great Sound in Application

JL Audio C3-650As we mentioned, we love the way C3-650 set sounds. Midrange and high-frequency information is smooth and detailed, and bass response is solid for a speaker of its size. Because the driver is efficient (90 dB of output when powered with 1 watt and measured at 1 meter), you don’t need a lot of power to produce a lot of sound. This is one of our favorite upgrades for motorcycles — an application where speaker efficiency is crucial.

Upgrade Your Sound System Today!

If you are in Central Florida and are looking for an amazing upgrade for your sound system, drop by Ocala Car Audio in downtown Ocala and ask for a demonstration of the C3-650 set. We know you’ll be impressed! You can contact us by e-mail for additional information about any of our products or services.
