Highdown Ford Focus ST Competition Car
Having retired our Hertz Monster VW Polo we knew he had to build something bigger and better. Our aim was to Build a vehicle that was able to play music at a REALLY loud, not just Sub bass, and our latest creation, the Ford Focus ST demo car has done just that. We have upgraded from 2 to 4 x 15” Hertz Bass Monster Subwoofers and the midrange speakers in the doors and boot (trunk) are now powered by 2 Hertz SPL Monster HP802 Amplifiers, all of which is powered by Lithium Power Cells.
Highdown Micra Power !!
Tiny in size , HUGE on sound. Is the only words to describe this baby boomer. This Nissan certainly know how to draw in a crowd, powered by 4 sets of HERTZ 8” SPL Show midrange drivers in the doors and 4, 15inch subwoofers squeezed into the back seat area, this is one tidy, Tiny little car.
Highdown BMW e36 Competition Car
This BMW started out as a basic demo car for us, originally kitted out with Orion’s West Coast Customs edition amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers. Our knowledge and understanding of how to obtain the best in-car sound increased massively during the years we competed in the IASCA and EMMA competitions, resulting in many upgrades. The final build consisted of Pioneer’s flagship ODR 3-way component speakers, source unit and audio processor, with Genesis Series 3 amplifiers, two dual Monoblock’s and DMA (dual mono A class) amplifiers, and finally a 9” Scanspeak Revlator subwoofer installed into the passenger kick well. Now enhanced to perfection!
Highdown VW Golf MK4 GTi Demonstrator
This demo car was built to show off the great sound of the New Hertz Cento Pro speakers. Showcasing a Pioneer Apple CarPlay SPH-DA160DAB 2-din head unit, along with an Apple TV modified to run off 12 volts, and an iPad mini for playing music videos. The sound is processed by an Audison Bit Ten D and controlled by the DRC installed into the driver’s central air vent. Two Hertz HCP4D amplifiers - one to power the front Cento Pro component speakers and the other, run in bridged mode, to provide plenty of power for the pair of Hertz Cento 10” subwoofers. We also added Led Lighting, Perspex, Alcantara and nappa leather for extra bling.
Lamborghini Murcielago
Our customer wanted a complete audio system fitted that would do this super car justice and be audible over the roar of the engine, something to rock his socks off. We designed a custom subwoofer box behind the driver’s seat and subtle tweeter mounts on the dashboard to house the Hertz speakers, re-fabricated and sprayed a centre console to match the Pioneer DEX-P99PRS head unit, created a custom box for the Audison amplifier in the boot complete with lights, then built a cover complete with an official Lamborghini badge. It was a massive challenge but the end result was a 100% satisfied customer!
Highdown SPL Monster Polo
This car belongs to owner Jeremy’s son James, who wanted to show off his talents in the Sound Quality competitions. After a couple of years, and having been league champion in Sound Quality, James decided to up his game and build a system that would play music really loud, and not just bass, the mids and highs had to be able to keep up with the bass. Two Hertz SPL Monster 15” subwoofers were installed in the boot, with 5 additional batteries and the immense Hertz SPL Monster 18,000 watt amplifier. For the doors we built in two Hertz SPL show 10” mid bass speakers, along with matching 44mm Tweeters. An impressive 150+ dB of pure sound!
Vauxhall Corsa
Our customer Mike asked us to design and build a system for his show car to make it stand out from the crowd at car shows, installing four 8” HERTZ SPL SHOW Mid bass speakers and two sets of 35mm tweeters into each door along with four Hertz High Energy 15” subwoofers which certainly helped him achieve this goal.
Subaru Impreza STi
Our customer Mark has a deep passion for fast cars and great sounding music. He provided the car and left us to do the rest. After finishing the audio installation for him Mark was so impressed that he asked us if he could compete in EMMA competitions with it. Well the answer as always was yes and on its first outing Mark not only won his class by a very clear margin, but also received a perfect 100% installation score.
