Car audio installation on baggers and cars
Season 2 covers car audio installation on three Harley baggers, a 9-inch screen in a BMW, window tint on a Mercedes-AMG and a Tesla Model 3, and cameras on a Ferrari. Every job was done in our own bay, and each episode below has the real video from that job.

What gets installed?
Car stereo, speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, alarms and window tint, depending on the job. Each episode below is one real job, with its video.
How is it done?
We look at the vehicle and talk through what you want.
We show you the plan and the price before any work starts.
We install it in our own bay, with clean wiring and the factory panels put back the way they came off.
We test and tune everything with you before you leave.
How much does it cost?
Window tint: full car (no windshield) from $349 with Solar film, $429 with Solar Ceramic. Stereo, speaker, subwoofer and alarm work is quoted for your vehicle. Call or text for a quote.
How can I pay?

Two baggers, one amp. Focal 7x10 vs Hertz Mille Pro 6x9.
Short answer: Is a 7x10 better than a 6x9 in a Harley bag? It depends on the sound you want. In this job two baggers ran the same amp: one with Focal 7x10s, one with Hertz Mille Pro 6x9 3-ways. Same power, so you hear the speaker itself. Come in and hear both before you pick.
Shop history: real job, 2019. Parts shown may not be what we sell today. The Focal PC710 is no longer made; ask what we run now. Price: quoted for your bike.
The Focal 7x10 fills the whole bag opening.

Two amps, one Road Glide
An Inland Empire rider, no compromise. Phoenix Gold and Hertz on two amps.
Short answer: Does a Road Glide need two amps? Not always, but this rider wanted clean volume at freeway speed. One amp runs the fairing speakers, the second runs the bags, with Phoenix Gold and Hertz speakers. Every wire was planned before the fairing came apart, then the system was tested and tuned before it closed.
Shop history: real job, 2019. Parts shown may not be what we sell today. Today: Audio MotorSports Signature Package $2,999 installed (2024+ Street/Road Glide). Other bikes: quoted for your bike.

A repeat client wanted small but powerful, clean and loud.
