Does Your Audio System Sound So Good You Want To Cry?

Ocala Car Audio wants to know if your audio system has ever given you an emotional experience. Does listening to a specific song take you back to a time and place? Does it remind you of someone? Music can be very powerful, and having a sound system that reproduces the songs you enjoy with clarity and detail can be truly exhilarating.

A Truly Happy Customer

Recently, we upgraded the audio system in a client’s Ford F-150. She and her husband weren’t happy with the way the truck’s original stereo sounded. It was lifeless and lacked detail and clarity. After inviting the couple to listen to a truck that we had upgraded recently, they gave us the go-ahead to install new speakers, a subwoofer and an amplifier with an integrated digital signal processor in their vehicle.

When they came to pick up the truck, we invited the owner to have a listen. Our founder, Parish Tanner, was in the truck with her as she listened to Rebecca Pidgeon’s version of “Spanish Harlem.” As the artist started singing, the client reached over and took hold of Parish’s arm. “I want to cry,” she said. The music in the truck sounded better than she imagined it could. As the song finished, she looked at him and said, “It sounds so good.” Truly, there is no higher praise for a job done properly than a positive emotional experience from a client.

How We Make Your Music Sound Better

It’s relatively easy to install new audio equipment in a vehicle. The magic that transforms a pile of speakers and electronics into something spectacular comes from the way those components are configured. Proper speaker locations with high-quality mounting adapters and sound deadening are a great start. Installing amplifiers that provide enough clean power to let our customers turn the music up to the levels they want is the next step. Integrating the amplifier into the factory radio using the proper interfaces or modules is crucial to creating a system that sounds amazing. Finally, the process we use to fine-tune the digital signal processors we install results in music that sounds natural and realistic.

Our process goes one step further to create what is known as a soundstage. Rather than hearing the music coming from the speakers, we use accurate level and signal delay adjustments to make it sound as though the performance is happening right in front of you. The experience is like being at a live concert or sitting at the console of a recording studio.

Take Your Music With You

Whether you want to rock out to ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd or Metallica on your Harley, crank up Eminem or Drake in your SUV or tune in to WOGK in your car, we can create an audio system for you that will give you goosebumps and put a smile on your face.

Fishing Boat Audio Can Turn Your Boat Into A Concert On the Water

The team members at Ocala Car Audio in downtown Ocala are experts in the design and installation of fishing boat audio systems. Every project is treated with the utmost of care in both the planning and installation stages to ensure that our clients will be satisfied with the performance of their marine audio system. Whether you need to replace a radio or a pair of speakers or want to create a concert on the water for you and your friends, we have a solution for you. Let’s look at how we can upgrade your fishing boat to add fun to a day on the lake or ocean.

Fishing Boat Audio System Design

Whether you have a tournament-style fishing boat, a 26-foot center console boat or need a music solution for your big fishing charter, we can design, install and configure an audio system that will ensure your music comes through loud and clear, even when the throttle is pinned. If you can’t bring your boat to us, our team would be happy to come to you.

We start each project by properly qualifying our clients. Where will you be listening to music? How loud will it need to be? How many people are onboard? Do you need multiple remote controls? Once we have a clear understanding of your expectations for the entertainment system, we can look at the boat and formulate a plan for the size and placement of speakers and subwoofers. The design stage includes a plan for source unit and remote control locations and amplifier mounting options.

Premium Marine Entertainment Products

When it comes to great sound on the water, Ocala Car Audio offers some of the best marine entertainment products available. We offer prestigious brands like JL Audio, Memphis Car Audio, Kenwood, Aquatic AV and MMatts Pro Audio. Each of these brands designs and builds solutions that can handle the harsh freshwater and even saltwater environments.

We offer coaxial and component speakers in sizes up to 8.8 inches in diameter, marine subwoofers as large as 12 inches and amplifiers capable of producing more than 2,000 watts of power from a single chassis. No matter how loud you want it to play, or how clear and detailed you want it to be, we have a solution.

Expert Installation Services

Once the system is designed, our team of veteran installers takes over. They run and connect each wire with the utmost of care. Amplifiers are mounted using marine-grade fasteners, and mounting plates are made from weather-resistant products like Sintra and Starboard. We make sure each speaker is placed to provide even coverage for you, your family and your friends. Finally, we configure and tune the system to make sure it will be easy to use and remain reliable, even at crazy volume levels.

Motorcycle Audio Installation is Best Left to the Experts

When it comes to motorcycle audio installation, Ocala Car Audio in Marion County is an expert. Installing and modifying motorcycle sound systems has been a way of life for the staff at Ocala for nearly a decade. Owner Parish Tanner grew up riding motorcycles. In fact, his entire family rides whenever they get a chance. We don’t just talk about motorcycle audio; we live it.

Premium Motorcycle Audio Products

Our experience in designing and installing motorcycle audio upgrades is an extension of our marine audio system experience. The vibration and sound level challenges are similar in both applications. Obviously, motorcycles offer significantly less space for speakers and equipment. Our team has tried most of the solutions available and knows what speakers and amplifiers work to deliver amazing sound, even when the throttle is cranked wide open. Our motorcycle audio products can handle sun exposure and harsh vibrations from the biggest engines. They shrug off rain, dust and dirt. We have high-power amplifiers that are compact and efficient, and our speaker upgrades can handle the power from that new amplifier so you can crank your system and enjoy it for hours.

Expert Installation and Integration Services

The materials and techniques we use to upgrade the audio system on your motorcycle are as important as the products we choose. Wiring, fasteners, connectors and harnesses all need to provide the same level of performance and reliability we expect from speakers, amplifiers and source units. How we make electrical connections, route wiring and even the way we protect the finish on your bike are carefully planned to ensure your upgrade experience brings you countless hours of trouble-free entertainment.

Full-Time Mobile Electronics Specialists

One topic that comes up frequently with our motorcycle clients are the audio upgrades that can be purchased and installed at shows throughout the year. Both the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Daytona Bike Week see vendors from all over the country celebrating every aspect of the motorcycle culture. We see many “pop-up” retailers selling and installing sound system upgrades at the shows. While some of these systems perform well, some are mediocre. Our biggest concern is after-sales service. If you have a problem with anything we’ve installed, you can call the shop and we’ll schedule an appointment to resolve the issue. If you’ve purchased speakers or an amplifier at the show, where will you go if you need help? Some show vendors go so far as to relabel products under their name. These modifications void the warranty on those units. We service what we sell.

Ocala’s Motorcycle Audio Installation Experts

When it’s time to upgrade the sound system on your bike, drop into Ocala Car Audio and speak with one of our motorcycle audio installation experts. We would be happy to demonstrate the systems on our bikes and develop a custom solution for your cruiser. From a new set of speakers in a fairing or saddlebag to custom speaker pods on your highway bars, our team will ensure your music sounds great at any reasonable speed. You can call us at 352-512-9897 or send us an e-mail using our online contact FORM at any time for answers to questions about our products and services. We look forward to hearing from you!

Ocala Car Audio Builds Great-sounding Marine Audio Systems

Ocala Car Audio creates some of the best marine audio systems in Marion County. Since 2008, we have made designing and installing premium marine entertainment systems a fundamental part of our business. We have partnered with industry-leading brands like JL Audio, Fusion, Kenwood, Memphis Xtreme and Aquatic AV to provide our clients with reliable, high-performance products that not only sound great but offer excellent value.

Marine Industry Experience

Our founder, Parish Tanner, worked in the engineering department for some of the top boat builders in the country. His hands-on design experience with brands like Regal Marine, Grady White, Key West, Pro-line, Moomba, Chris Craft, Caroline Skiff, Chaparral and more have provided him with a unique understanding of boat manufacturing and client expectations.

During this time, Parish received his American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) E-11 Electrical Certification. This training and subsequent certification ensures that he understands the guidelines and specific requirements related to working on and upgrading the electrical and entertainment systems of boats. This accreditation is crucial to the safe design and installation of marine audio systems.

Marine Wiring Practices

We use several unique products and processes when installing marine entertainment systems. First, we always use marine-spec wiring. Unlike conventional car audio wiring and cables, our marine wiring is designed to withstand exposure to high-humidity and saltwater conditions to prevent corrosion and damage to equipment. Where we make electrical connections and how we route wiring protects it from damage by moving parts and interference with factory-installed electronic components.

Our battery system upgrades ensure that life support systems like bilge pumps, navigation lighting and ship-to-shore radios will always remain functional. You will always have enough power to start the engine to get home safely, even after a day spent partying at the local sand bar. Isolating the entertainment system from the system batteries is not an option – it is the only way to do it right. The reliability of your boat and your safety is our number-one priority.

Ocala Car Audio Marine Installations

We use a product called Starboard to create speaker adapters, subwoofer enclosures and amplifier mounting racks. Starboard is a high-grade polymer that we can mill in the same way we would use wood, but unlike wood, it will not rot or degrade when exposed to water, ensuring that whatever we create for you will last for decades.

We use stainless steel fasteners in all of our installations. Carbon steel fasteners will corrode quickly when exposed to saltwater. Nobody wants to see a line of brown rust running to or from that new speaker installation.

System Design

Whether we are working on a Cigarette, Fountain or Donzi off-shore race boat, or a Mastercraft, Moomba or Malibu wakeboard boat, every system we design offers exceptional performance, reliability and ease of use. Our choice of speaker and subwoofer mounting locations optimizes sound delivery for everyone on board. Bluetooth streaming, chart plotter integration and satellite radio options are no problem for us.

Marine Audio Systems and More

From a simple radio upgrade or speaker replacement to lighting and accessory installations, Ocala Car Audio can handle everything your boat needs. Drop by our store at 804 NW 27th Avenue and talk to a member of our team, or e-mail us using our online contact FORM for more information.

Lady Lake Client gets Ford F-450 Stereo and Lighting Upgrades

A client from Lady Lake contacted Ocala Car Audio in search of upgrades for his 2017 Ford F-450. He wanted to improve the stereo system and lighting. After meeting with the client and discussing how he liked to listen to his music, and what light upgrades he wanted, we worked together to devise an upgrade plan that would meet his performance goals.

Ford F-450 Stereo System Upgrade

Ford sound systems can be difficult to upgrade reliably. We started the project with a PAC AmpPro AP4-FD21 interface that replaced the factory amplifier and its associated headaches. We installed the remote bass level control from the PAC interface in the overhead console. A JL Audio HD600/5 five-channel amplifier powers the system.

After removing the factory door speakers, we made adapter plates out of ABS plastic to hold a set of JL Audio C5-650X component woofers. We treated the door skins with a layer of Stinger RoadKill Expert sound deadening before mounting the adapters with corrosion-resistant factory hardware.

Custom F-450 Subwoofer Enclosure

As this is a work truck, it has a rubber floor instead of carpet. We built a subwoofer enclosure for a JL Audio 10TW3-D8 that fits under the rear seat. To complement the durability of the enclosure, we sprayed it in bedliner rather than wrapping it in carpet.

Work Truck Lighting Upgrades

Rear lights were mounted under the bumper to provide lighting at night.

The curved lightbar fit perfectly into the upgraded bumper.

Strobe lights were mounted underneath the truck for safety.

We mounted a set of Rigid Industries 906512 6-inch SR series lights underneath the heavy-duty tow bar bracket. The lights are wired to come on with the factory reverse lights from a switch in the factory overhead accessory panel. A set of Rigid rock lights light up the wheel wells and add safety while working around the truck at night.

We added a set of Whelen Engineering T-Series amber and white LED strobes to the truck. We mounted one pair just above the upgraded rear bumper. We added another set on the sides of the truck’s frame to increase visibility from the sides.

The icing on the cake is a Rigid Industries RDS-Series 40” curved light bar. The LED light bar is mounted inside an opening in the custom-painted Rogue Racing front bumper. We added a Warn Zeon 12-S Platinum winch to provide a little extra persuasion when required.

Ford F-450 Stereo and Lighting Upgrades

When the client returned to Ocala Car Audio to pick up his truck, he was ecstatic! He loved the way the stereo sounded and was so excited to see the lighting at night. If you are looking for upgrades for your work truck, or your daily drive, drop into our store and talk to our team. You can also e-mail us using our contact FORM.

Ocala Client Gets 2015 Ford F-350 Bass Upgrade And Door Panels

A client from here in Ocala dropped by for 2015 Ford F-350 bass system upgrade quote. We offered a fair price, but the client chose to have the system designed and installed elsewhere. Shortly after the system was installed, he asked us for some help with a few small issues. After realizing that he had been sold used equipment and charged for new, he had us remove the system.

The original shop built three different enclosures – all of which failed under extreme pressure from the subs. We built a new enclosure for four JL Audio 13W7 subwoofers, each with its own Jl Audio HD1200/1 amplifier. A JL HD600/4 powers the mids and highs. We built new door panels that improved the audio system’s performance and style. We used an AudioControl LC6i to source a signal from the factory head unit.

To feed the amplifiers, we ran six runs of AWG power and six runs of ground cable from the pair of 270 Amp alternators under the hood. Four AC Delco AGM batteries ensure the amps are happy.

The client loved the way the new system sounded.

If you are planning an audio system, contact us here. We’d be happy to help.

2013 Chevrolet Silverado Audio System For Ocala Based Client

A client from Ocala, Florida, came to Ocala Car Audio for a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado audio system upgrade. He wasn’t impressed with the way the stock system sounded. He wanted the system to play louder and be clearer. There was one caveat: He also wanted to maintain a storage location for his toys. We had a look at his truck, then designed a system to meet his goals.

The client chose a Kenwood DNX892HD receiver and a Maestro RR integration module so that the radio it could display vehicle information. Tire pressure, vehicle speed and engine RPM are just a few of the pieces of information that the RR extracts from the CAN data network.

The Kenwood receiver feeds audio to a Memphis Car Audio PRX700.5 amp. The amp powers the factory speakers and a shallow-mount subwoofer. We created a custom enclosure under the rear seat that holds the sub and the amp, and still has room or the client’s toys.

The client loves the way the system sounds and is impressed with what we created for his gun.

Ocala Referral Gets Awesome Fountain 38TE Audio Upgrades

The owner of this 2009 Fountain 38 Tournament Edition boat contacted Ocala Car Audio about having an audio system installed. We had installed an audio system in a boat for a friend of his and got the referral based on our workmanship. This client wanted the best for his boat, so we designed an audio system using JL Audio marine amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers. The client loved our plan and gave the OK to start the project to upgrade his Fountain 38TE audio system.

Stage One: Speaker Upgrades

Three speakers and one subwoofer were squeezed onto this panel for a LOT of audio output!

The storage locker speakers required a bit of live-well modification, but it was worth it!

The overhead speakers help ensure everyone has great sound.

We choose JL Audio’s top of the line marine speakers for this boat.

The client wanted something that would get loud. Not just a little loud – very loud! We started by choosing a location for a pair of JL Audio M12IB6-SG-WH 12-inch subwoofers. Each of these monster subs was flanked by three M880-CCX-SG-WLD-B 8.8-inch coaxial speakers. Think about the sheer cone area of that combination! These speakers provide sound for the forward seating area.

We mounted another pair of M880-CCX-SG-WLD-B coaxial speakers in the aft storage locker. We had to reshape the live well to allow the speakers to fit. A slight modification to the well was a better option than making spacers for the speakers.

We mounted the fifth pair of speakers in the overhead radio box. The speakers point straight down at the helm. We used sound deadening to damp any vibrations from the radio box itself.

The last pair of speakers is on the stern of the boat to provide sound to swimmers or friends while the boat is anchored at the sandbar.

Stage Two: Amplification

JL Audio provided the power that rocks this boat.

Dual zone control is just one of the benefits of the Fusion radio.

Since we had a total of 12 speakers and a pair of subwoofers, we needed that many amplifier channels as well. We created an amp rack for three JL Audio MHD600/4 and two MHD750/1 amplifiers. The amp rack is mounted in the locker under the helm and is constructed of starboard. Each speaker in the system has its very own amp channel. We configured the Fusion marine radio that was already on the boat to provide two volume zones. The speakers in the radio box can be adjusted separately from the rest.

It took us two weeks to complete the project. We used T-Spec V10 power and ground wire with Stinger distribution blocks. We had to enlarge many of the factory speaker openings and cut new holes to accommodate the massive 8.8-inch speakers. We treated every speaker to a run of new speaker wire for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Fountain 38TE Audio System Delivery

When the client returned to Ocala Car Audio to hear his system for the first time, he was both stunned and thrilled with the way it sounds.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Audio Upgrade For Ocala Client

A local business owner from here in Ocala, Florida, dropped by Ocala Car Audio with his wife to talk about making some upgrades to this 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. The truck was to be a gift for their son’s 16th birthday, and they wanted an audio system and some accessories installed as a holiday present. The client found us through our website and online reviews. We put together a proposal for the client and, on his approval, scheduled an appointment to begin work on this Silverado 2500HD audio upgrade.

Starting from the Front

The addition of the Kenwood radio gives this truck top-of-the-line technology and features.

The front camera was flush mounted in the bumper.

The client chose a Kenwood eXcelon DNX893S double-DIN source unit. This unit features a 7-inch screen and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. We installed the Kenwood unit using a Best Kits BKGMK317 mounting kit and integrated the radio with the vehicle data bus using an Idatalink Maestro RR module. The module provides audio connectivity and vehicle access functions on the screen of the Kenwood.

The Kenwood radio has dual camera inputs. We used the rear factory camera and added a front camera from AIS. We mounted the LCCAM1 front camera in the center of the front bumper. The rear camera shows on the screen as soon as the vehicle is in reverse. The client just has to tap a button to bring up the camera image and can easily toggle between the front and rear camera displays.

JL Audio Amplifiers, Speakers and Subwoofers

JL Audio C3 speakers are a huge improvement over the stock speakers.

The JL Audio Stealthbox is contoured to perfectly fit under the rear seat.

With the seat down it looks like the enclosure could be a factory option.

We ran three sets of Memphis Car Audio 17-etp-12 interconnects from the source unit to a pair of JL Audio HD Series amplifiers. We used an HD600/4 to drive the front, and rear speakers and an HD750/1 to power the subwoofer enclosure. We used a T-Spec v10-rak4 V10 Series 4-AWG power kit to connect the amplifiers to the battery under the hood and a Stinger SPD570 power and ground distribution block to split power delivery between the pair of amplifiers. Our team mounted the amplifiers to a panel on the rear wall of the truck.

The client chose a set of JL C3-650 convertible components for the front of the truck. We mounted the midrange in the door on BKGMSB356 adapter plates after applying a thorough layer of Roadkill sound-damping material to the door. The sound-damping dramatically improves the performance of the speaker by sealing off any openings in the door that might allow cancellation of bass and midbass frequencies. For rear speakers, the client chose JL Audio C3-525 speakers that drop right into the factory locations.

The client wanted much better bass performance from his new system. We ordered a JL Audio SB-GM-SLVCC2/12TW3/BK Stealthbox for the Chevy. This enclosure fits perfectly under the rear bench seat of the truck and is home to a pair of 12TW3 subwoofers.

Cosmetic and Lighting Upgrades

The door trims were also upgraded with the silver accents.

The silver trim package really freshens up the interior of this truck.

The taillights not only look great, they enhance the safety of the truck.

The new headlight upgrades look great!

Even the third brakelight and bed light got a lighting upgrade!

The cosmetic upgrades began with the installation of a CarID aluminum interior trim kit. We prepped all the surfaces with wax and oil remover before mounting everything using the provided two-sided tape.

The factory headlights on the truck were starting to fade and simply did not look “fresh” any longer. We looked at several lighting options for the truck before finally settling on Anzo 111281 replacement headlights. These light assemblies feature dual projectors and a U-bar accent strip around each one. We installed a set of Racesport H1 and H3 HID headlight upgrade kits to provide maximum light output.

The client also requested a set of Anzo 311226 smoked LED tail-light assemblies for the truck. These look much better than the factory lights and make the truck look newer than it is.

The last component was an Anzo 531067 third brake light and truck bed light. This light uses LEDs for excellent output and efficiency.

Silverado 2500 Audio and Lighting Upgrade Delivery

The client and his family returned to Ocala Car Audio to pick up his truck and listen to the new audio system for the first time. They were stunned by how much better the system sounded. They said it was not only a lot louder and had more bass, everything was clearer and had more detail.

If you are interested in upgrading the audio system in your car or truck, drop into our store, call us at 352-512-9897 or send us an e-mail HERE for more information.

Repeat Client Gets Mazda RX-8 Audio Upgrade And Accessories For Her New Car

One of our clients brought this clean 2008 Mazda RX-8 to Ocala Car Audio for a significant audio system upgrade. We had built a system for this client’s RAV4 several years ago. She had been looking for an RX-8 for more than a year and was excited to bring it in for a system and a few accessories once she finally found it.

As always, we ensured that we understood the client’s goals for the system and for the vehicle. She loves music and likes cars, so she wanted a system that sounds great and looks kind of cool at the same time.

Initial Steps A Foundation For Great Sound

We took delivery of the vehicle and removed the factory source unit, door and rear speakers. We ran Memphis Car Audio 17-ETP-21.6 6-channel interconnect cables, a T-Spec V10-RAK4 power wire kit and new speaker wire through the car. Then we treated the doors with a healthy dose of Roadkill sound deadening. The sound deadening not only blocks road and wind noise, but dramatically improves the performance of the door speakers by sealing off openings in the doors.

Kenwood Door Speaker Upgrade

The large Kenwood woofer was installed in the door using a custom adapter.

Plenty of sound deadening was applied to the door to maximize the speaker performance.

The factory door speakers are quite large, so we made a set of adapter rings out of expanded PVC foam for Kenwood eXcelon-series XR-1800P 7-inch components. We mounted the tweeters in the stock location at the top of the door. We replaced the rear speakers with a set of Kenwood KFC-X693 in the factory locations.

JL Audio Provides Awesome Bass

For bass, we fabricated a vented subwoofer enclosure to house a single JL Audio 12W1V3-2 subwoofer. The enclosure sits against the rear seats and the subwoofer fires down. We added a custom logo to the back of the cabinet: an intertwined bass and treble clef. We covered the logo in black vinyl for an embossed look.

Clean JL Audio Power

Both amplifiers were mounted in the floor of the trunk, protected by a removable cover.

There is still plenty of usable space available in the trunk of this RX-8

To power the system, we used a pair of JL Audio RD series amplifiers. An RD400/4 powers the front and rear speakers and we used an RD500/1 for the subwoofer. We located the amps in the bottom of the trunk floor. We created a false floor for the trunk and flushed the amps into it. A removable panel covers the amps so she can use the trunk for cargo without risking damage to the amplifiers. We finished the floor and the subwoofer enclosure trim panel in carpet. We used a Stinger SPD570 power distribution block to split the power wire from the battery to the pair of amplifiers.

Upgraded Technology With Pioneer NEX Radio

In the factory radio location, we installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX. She can use her smartphone for music, texting, phone calls and navigation, thanks to CarPlay and Android Auto. A PAC SWI-RC steering wheel control interface allows the factory steering wheel controls to control the new radio.

Add-On Remote Car Starter

The client requested a few other options while we had the car in the shop. We installed a Directed 5X10 security system with remote starter to protect the vehicle. To start the car, all she has to do is push the Lock button on the factory remote control three times in quick succession.

Katzkin Leather Kit Makes Interior Look New

The last step for the interior of the vehicle was to install a set of Katzkin leather seat upgrade kits. The new upholstery is a combination of a classic textured dark-gray leather with a matching carbon fiber textured center section. These kits fit the factory seat foam perfectly without wrinkling.

Lighting And Tint Round Out The Package

RGB footwell lighting adds to the interior enhancements.

RGB lighting was used to accent the custom-embossed music insert.

The seats, radio, tint and lighting all make a dramatic difference for this Mazda.

We installed a Memphis Car Audio LED kit to highlight the footwells and the trunk of the car. This is an RGB lighting upgrade which allows her to select any color that she desires. We tinted the windows with a premium heat-rejecting Nano Ceramic tint. This window film blocks a majority of the heat from the sun and keeps the interior much cooler. To complete the blacked-out look of the car, we applied Oracle 8300 dark-gray film over the rear taillights.

Client Loved Her New Mazda RX-8 Audio System

The client returned to pick up her car and was blown away by the work we had done. She loved the clean look of the trunk and the custom music note on the back of the enclosure. She hopped in, had a listen to the new system and was smiling from ear to ear.
