2006: The Black Hummer H2 (with Unwired Vehicles)

Our first year exhibiting at SEMA, with our black Hummer H2 on DUB wheels. Unwired Vehicles (Mobile Computing Solutions) were the engineers. Audio MotorSports was the hardware side: we did all the install and built everything. Their sign listed it all: View home cable/satellite/TiVo TV content in the car, Play DVDs, Listen to MP3s, Stream Music and Podcasts, Play Games, Access Email, Chat using Instant Messaging, Browse the Web. It was ahead of its time. Then the iPhone came and ended a lot of company dreams, ours included. But we made it, and we exhibited.

2007: The black Tundra

In 2007 we came back to SEMA with another truck: our black Toyota Tundra, built around its audio, with a Sony touchscreen head unit in the dash.

How to Choose the Best Car Audio Shop Near Me

Choosing the right car audio shop matters more than the brand of speakers or amplifiers you buy. A clean install protects your vehicle's wiring, factory features, and resale value. A poor install can create noise, drain the battery, or damage door panels.

How Much Does a Good Car Audio System Cost?

There is no single price for a 'good' system because every vehicle and every goal is different. A simple speaker upgrade in a car that already has a decent head unit costs less than a full amplified setup with a subwoofer in a truck that needs custom mounting or factory integration.
