PREPARATION

When your vehicle arrives at our shop, our first task is to protect it. We use specially made films that are actually used by vehicle manufactures when they ship vehicles across the world. Any area where our team will work is masked off with the appropriate films before we start the disassembly of your vehicle. The next step is to disassemble the vehicle and analyze the audio signal using test instruments in the vehicle. This will guide our team with the information they need to properly integrate into the vehicle and extract the audio information that is needed. Once the vehicle is protected and vehicles electronics are identified, we then move to the design phase. The goal here is to layout the system components and locate the “factory” way to secure the new electronics. This includes using multiple types of plastics, stainless steel threaded hardware, and machine threading tools to ensure the electronics are mounted properly but replicates the way the factory would install the equipment. We take all of these steps because it’s your vehicle and it’s our job to integrate into the vehicle the best way possible. Some might call it a little extreme, but if the factory uses these techniques for functionality and safety, we will too. To learn more or to see first hand how we prepare the vehicle, stop by the shop or give us a call with any questions you may have.

SERVICES

Here at Sounds Good Stereo Nashville, we offer a wide variety of solutions to our clients. Our main focus is custom fabrication and audiophile grade audio systems in vehicles. At times, we get asked if we offer additional services from our existing clients. Many times, they trust us with their vehicle and they know if we recommend someone or offer an additional service, it will meet our standards. Many requests include window tint, vehicle wraps, custom wheels and tires, suspension adjustments and even custom interiors. While our team is capable of performing most of these tasks, we usually only provide them for select clients. If you’re looking for only window tinting, then we are not the shop for you. If you’re looking for a complete audio system in your vehicle and interested in custom wheels or window tinting, then we could facilitate these services at our shop. If we feel your project needs someone to ensure perfection in quality, i.e window tinting plus an audio system in a Porsche GT3, then we would consider it. The one thing that has always set us apart from other automotive shops is if we say we can do something, we can do it to near perfection. We focus on what our team is great at, integrating into a vehicle the right way and custom fabrication. If you have a unique situation or project your working on, let us know. We would love the opportunity to help your ideas become reality in your vehicle.

FABRICATION

As you browse our website or look closely at the installation photo above, you will see the layers of detail that we put into our custom audio systems. A mix of multiple materials including aluminum, vinyl, acrylic plastics, and European carpets combined with our creativity creates the guesswork of what is factory, and whats not. We consider ourselves artists, for vehicles. Our client base consists of many very particular individuals that demand perfection, on every aspect of the installation. We are not catering to teenager style custom installations, we are focused on adult driven, detail focused, complex integrations into rare and unique vehicles. From a mobile phone holder in a brand new Range Rover to a stealth subwoofer system, our fit and finish is impeccable. The designs themselves are derived directly from the vehicle. We measure the body lines of your vehicle and incorporate them into the custom installation. That’s why when you browse our portfolio, at times it’s hard to see what has been custom made by our team and what appears to be factory. That’s our magic and what separates us from traditional square subwoofer enclosure car stereo shops. We mix vehicle art with car audio. Interested in seeing more? If so, browse our portfolio or stop by the shop to see our fabrication in person.

TUNING

Since the beginning of the car audio industry, the mentality has always been connect the wires, turn a few knobs and deliver to the customer. In doing so, they are basically guessing at the settings. Imagine spending thousands of dollars on engine upgrades and they just guess with the tune of your $20K motor. Essentially, this is exactly how most car audio shops operate, unfortunately. Sure, they have a basic idea on the settings, but when is the last time, if ever, they got their ears checked for accuracy? Here at Sounds Good Stereo Nashville, we are not guessing with your audio gear and investment. You have invested thousands of dollars in high-quality products and we want to maximize the performance for you to enjoy. We do this by understanding the audio signal as a whole and analyzing it during the signal path all the way to the speaker. We use tools such as Oscilloscopes, Real-Time Analyzers, Impedance Meters, etc when we are tuning your new audio system. Then we use digital sound processors to fully optimize the sound in your vehicle and adjust the audio gear to work with the acoustics of your vehicle. From a simple audio upgrade to a complete audiophile-grade system, we trust in our tools and training experiences to deliver you a better car audio system every time. Would you like to hear a fully tuned car audio system? If so, stop by and meet our team and take a listen to one of our in-store fully tuned demonstration vehicles.

TO CLIENT

If you asked everyone here at Sounds Good Stereo Nashville what their favorite part of the job is, we will all agree its the delivery to the client. Sure, the initial conversation and during the project is a lot of fun, but seeing the clients excitement after they hear their vehicle is something that we live for. We have worked with all types of clients and sometimes the reactions are unexpected. We have been hugged, tackled (in a good way) even kissed by our clients. Some have even performed exercise moves in our parking lot from their excitement. Of course, we don’t expect a kiss from you, but we are focused on your complete satisfaction. If for any reason we missed the mark, let us know and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy. With our more advanced audio systems, we have the ability to completely tune the vehicle to your taste. As seen in the photo to the left, music producer Timbaland is sitting with our team and we are tuning the audio system with our laptop to ensure it’s exactly what he wanted. The end result (wish we had it on video), he loved the performance of the audio system and the amount of detail the audio system delivered. Since then, we saved the audio tune that he enjoys and applied the same adjustments to the additional cars we have built for him. So if you love the attention to detail and you want a team that truly cares, give us a call or stop by the store. Nothing would make us happier than to add you to our amazing happy client list across the United States.
