Hello everyone!
I would like to share some photos of a recent audio upgrade. My Tesla was the third install at Safe and Sound in Chantilly, VA and I must say Matt Schaeffer has knocked it out of the park again.
Last year, @Xenoilphobe brought in his Model S 85D to get an audio system upgrade. If you have not seen his finished product, I have posted it here.
Talk about amazing!
Recently, @Dickerns brought his Model S P100D in to replace his UHFS system with a complete upgrade to an
ultra-audiophile system. If you have not seen it - prepare to have your mind blown.
Incredible!
Now it was my turn. My Model S 70D only had the basic speakers. I decided to do my upgrade in two parts. (My son is graduating from the University of Maryland in a few weeks, so my money is a little tight right now!)
My first install was a subwoofer and a amplifier. In the fall, I will complete the rest of the install. It will be very similar to what @Xenoilphobe has done.
I cannot say how pleased I am with this install. As I said in the post "Is this the best sounding Tesla?", I done a lot of research in stepping up my audio system in the Tesla. I read comments from others, and found out about Matt on this forum last year. If I had not read comments and watched videos on this site, I truly would have been afraid to add anything in my car. I applaud each and every one of you with your positive comments on this forum!
I would like to thank @Xenoilphobe and Matt for their first posting on the upgraded system. I also would like to thank @Dickerns for setting the bar high. I hope to meet @Xenoilphobe and you in the future!
Finally, I would like to thank Matt. If you meet him, he is a true professional. If you have an idea, he really listens to you. He takes his time and will make suggestions. He will make every effort to see your project through. There is no hassle and no pressure. I told him that I wanted a subwoofer. I only mentioned that I wanted "something special" and he ran with it. It seems he has a vision in his mind as what he will do. When he completed my project, he opened my trunk and I loved it! I was so surprised. I love his passion and if you spend time with him, you can tell he enjoys what he does. He is the reigning installer of the year. You can read all about his award and see some of his work here.
The first part of my two-part project is here.
Items installed:
Illusion Carbon C10 subwoofer
JL Audio XDv2, 600W Mono subwoofer Amplifier
JL Audio Remote level control HD Amplifier
Custom Fiberglass enclosure including Lighted Tesla, Alcantara and piano black decor
Thanks, everyone!
Enjoy!
