πŸš—πŸ’¨ Look who's back… it's Joe's Squareback! πŸ’¨πŸš—

I had the pleasure of giving the air ride management in this beauty a full facelift β€” and let’s just say, this one's a head-turner. πŸ”₯

Previously running a single tank (check older posts), we wanted to step it up and create something that stops people in their tracks. Mission accomplished.

✨ Air Ride Install - Diamond-Inspired Setup
The diamond theme from the previous build lives on, now front and centre β€” or should I say, in the frunk.
We swapped to 3 raw seamless tanks, mounted on a custom base made of oak ply, frosted Perspex, and MDF β€” clean, sharp, and unique.
The mount includes LED ambient lighting to highlight the details, while the aluminium hardlines were symmetrically routed into bulkhead fittings.
The manifold sits on a laser-cut Perspex panel, again LED-lit for that wow factor.

πŸ”Š Extra Touches
Since it’s running air ride, the stock horn just wouldn’t cut it β€” so we fitted lorry horns under each arch and a solenoid valve for quick, in-cabin tank drainage. Simple and loud.
The dash got some love too β€” restored and wrapped in rich chocolate leather by our partners at Hadley Vehicle Trimmers.

🎢 Now, let’s talk audio...
We started from scratch. Full interior strip-down, followed by 2 layers of sound treatment on the floor and wheel arches to lock in the sound and shut out the road.

πŸ”Š Alpine Status HDZ-653S speakers in custom CNC’d MDF pods, finished in beige Milano & leather, mounted as close to on-axis as possible for max performance.

πŸͺ΅ Midbass drivers sealed into the kickwells, wrapped again in that signature chocolate leather by Hadley.

πŸ”Š For the lows: an Alpine R2-W10D2 sub in a custom downward-firing ported enclosure, disguised as luggage. Functional and stylish – perfect for show season!

πŸ”Œ And powering it all… the heart of the system:
πŸ‘‰ Alpine OPTIM8 PXE-C80-88 – 8-Channel DSP Amplifier
This beast does it all:
βœ… Powers the 3-way active front stage
βœ… Drives the sub with serious punch
βœ… Built-in DSP for precision tuning – so the system can be dialled in exactly to taste.

This amp truly brings the entire system to life with power, clarity, and total control.

We used the tweeter and 3" midrange in custom pillar pods, keeping the midbass in the factory door location. To make things more interesting, the build had to be done *remotely* β€” and due to heavy wiring behind the pillar, we couldn't recess the speakers below the surface.

Rather than going with a typical off-axis setup, we pushed for as close to on-axis as possible. The tweeter's swivel mount helped, but the 3" mid needed a precise mount to hit the right angle.

βœ… 3D printed ABS rings (100% infill)
βœ… Custom shaping with fiberglass filler
βœ… Final trim in Alcantara (cloth option didn’t quite meet the standard)
βœ… Trim work by our awesome partners at Hadley Vehicle Trimmers

The factory head unit runs through an AudioControl LC2i to the amp β€” no DSP, no time alignment β€” and yet the system sounds absolutely on point. 🎢πŸ”₯

Proud of how this one turned out!

We swapped the factory speakers for Alpine G Series SPG-17C2 components in the front. These were mounted in the factory locations with the 17cm mid/bass speaker in the door and tweeters in the lower A pillar.

For the lower frequencies, we installed an Alpine PWE-S8 compact powered subwoofer mounted under the boot shelf. We also added a convenient remote to control the subwoofer just in case you'd want to turn it down..Here are the specs on this compact subwoofer:

8-inch (20cm) Sealed Active Subwoofer
Built-in 240W Amplifier (120W RMS)
Frequency Response: 25 – 152Hz
Volume Remote Controller (0 to -20dB / 4m cable)
Phase Selector (0Β° / 180Β°)
Adjustable cut-off Frequency (50 – 150Hz)
RCA (0.1-4V) / Speaker Input (1.5-30V/auto sensing)
Easy Under Seat Installation
Full die-cast Housing (4.6Kgs)
Dimensions: 340mm x 230mm x 70mm

This simple and well-hidden audio upgrade makes the journey in this electric car more enjoyable with the sound all the way up! 🎢⚑️

This beautiful BMW E39 Individual came in for an audio upgrade. πŸš—πŸ”Š

The customer wanted to replace the BMW DSP head unit with an Eonon E39A12S 8-Core CarPlay Android 13, connected to the factory DSP wiring loom using the Eonon A0590.

We swapped the factory speakers for Alpine G Series SPG-13C2 components in the front and SPG-13CS for the rear deck.

The lower frequencies are handled by an old-school Vibe powered subwoofer the customer had stored in his loft!

Check out this Mercedes GLC X253 Facelift that came in for a complete audio upgrade using Audiotec Fischer's Match range. We installed the Match UP C42MB-FRT (front component speakers), Match UP X4MB-FRT (rear wideband surround speakers), and Match UP W8MB-S4 (front lower bulkhead woofers), all powered by a Match UP 8DSP (amp/DSP). For those deeper frequencies, we added a JL Audio powered microsub ACP108LG-W3v3.

The result is an incredible audio experience that truly elevates this Mercedes!
