Bryant loves his sync system but hated the way it sounds. CSD to the rescue! A 4 -channel Focal Power Performance Amplifier, a Pioneer Shallow 12″ Subwoofer in a custom built enclosure, and Focal Performance 6-1/2″ Component speakers were all connected to the factory in-dash head unit to keep the features and interior cosmetics intact. The speakers were hidden behind the stock grilles and the amp and custom subwoofer were tucked neatly out of sight under the rear bench seat.
The Ford F150 comes with a DVD player built into the dash that will not work unless the parking brake is on. Pretty pointless right? This customer goes on long trips with his family and his friends and needed a way to make those long hours on the road more bearable. CSD installed a device that allows for video to be watched by the passenger. It also receives video input from the dual 7″ touchscreen DVD players mounted in custom stitched headrests. Now each passenger in the truck can watch their own movie, or all three can be linked together for everyone to enjoy.
When Nascar driver Michael Self heard his buddy’s new Scion FR-S featured in our blog here, he just had to have a Focal system for himself! This Ford already came fully loaded with the Sync, Bluetooth, and Navigation, but the Sony audio system just didn’t cut it. It was seriously lacking in both detail and output. CSD Audio to the rescue!
We retained the stock cosmetics and functionality of all the OEM electronics and added new amps, speakers, and two 12 inch subwoofers. All the equipment was hidden behind factory panels or under the back seat, out of sight. The only indication there has been any work done to this truck is the bright blue glow coming from the subwoofer enclosure.
At least until you crank the volume, that is! Focal Performance 6″ Component speakers were installed in the doors and tweeters mounted in the a-pillars. Two 12″ Focal subwoofers were tucked neatly under the rear seat in a custom LED illuminated enclosure. Two Focal Performance amplifiers were stacked under the passenger rear seat, providing plenty of clean power for this system.
CSD gave this truck a massive improvement to both sound quality and cool factor for this up and coming Nascar star!
Day after day at CSD Audio, vehicles come in for substantial sound upgrades but often aren’t featured on the website because great lengths are taken to maintain the integrity of the factory interior cosmetics. There’s not much to see once the system is complete! For this F-150 project, you get to see some of the details that comprise a great sounding and nearly invisible audio system.
Technology upgrades include a Digital Media Receiver which features a 2″ color screen, and USB connection which controls an iPod, iPhone or other mass storage class USB device. A Bluetooth hands free system was connected to allow the customer to safely talk on the phone while the vehicle is in motion.
This system delivers crystal clear, detailed sound powered by 7 channels and nearly 1300 Watts of amplifier power. The front speakers are bi-amplified using the electronic crossover built in to the Audison LRX amplifier and an Alpine Imprint processor adds a parametric equalizer, phase shift & time delay to optimize the listening environment in this brand new Ford.
