Tesla owners appreciate the quiet, smooth ride and cutting-edge technology their vehicles offer, but for some, elevating the audio experience can make each journey even more enjoyable. At Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we recently worked with a client from Jacksonville Beach who wanted to upgrade the audio in their 2014 Tesla Model S. Their goals were clear: powerful bass, premium sound quality, and confidence in equipment compatible with an electric vehicle. Here’s how we brought their vision to life with top-notch components, expert installation, and our exclusive Phantom Fit Enclosure for the Tesla Model S.
The Client’s Needs and Concerns
Our client had a few specific concerns:
1.Bass Performance: They wanted rich, full bass without compromising the Tesla Model S interior.
2.Compatibility with Electric Vehicles: As EV owners are often cautious about aftermarket installations, they needed assurance that the upgrades wouldn’t impact the vehicle’s battery or electrical systems.
3.Professional Fit and Finish: With the stylish and functional Tesla interior, our client desired a seamless, factory-like installation.
With these priorities in mind, we crafted a solution that matched their sound and style expectations.
Selecting the Perfect Components
To create a premium audio setup that fit seamlessly into the Tesla, we selected components from Audio Dynamics, AudioMobile, Stinger, and our proprietary Phantom Fit Enclosures. Here’s a closer look at each component:
1. Audio Dynamics X1.5k Monoblock Amplifier
The Audio Dynamics X1.5k Monoblock Amplifier delivers powerful, efficient sound with minimal power consumption, ideal for an electric vehicle like the Tesla Model S. This amplifier provides clean, precise bass without overloading the electrical system, allowing enhanced sound performance without draining the battery.
With up to 1500 watts of power, the X1.5k Monoblock ensures every bass note hits with clarity and impact, transforming the listening experience without distorting the music. This amplifier is ideal for adding depth and fullness to the sound for bass enthusiasts or anyone seeking a richer audio experience.
2. AudioMobile GTS 12 2-ohm Subwoofer
To enhance bass performance, we selected the AudioMobile GTS 12 2-ohm subwoofer. Known for its ability to deliver deep, tight bass, this 12-inch subwoofer provides the punch and clarity our client wanted. The GTS 12’s high sensitivity and sound quality make it a standout choice for a Tesla, which demands efficient yet powerful audio solutions.
By pairing this subwoofer with the Audio Dynamics amplifier, we maximized its capabilities, achieving an immersive, concert-like experience with an incredibly well-rounded sound profile.
3. Stinger 6000 Series Wiring Kit
No audio upgrade is complete without quality wiring. We used the Stinger 6000 Series wiring kit to securely connect all system components. The Stinger 6000 kit ensures low resistance, stable connectivity, and durability, essential for a high-tech EV like the Tesla Model S. Using premium wiring reduces signal loss and interference, ensuring consistent, clear sound quality.
4. Phantom Fit Enclosure by Audio Designs & Custom Graphics
Our exclusive Phantom Fit Enclosure is custom-designed to integrate seamlessly with the Tesla Model S. Unlike generic subwoofer enclosures, the Phantom Fit is crafted specifically for the Model S, providing a secure housing for the AudioMobile GTS 12 subwoofer without sacrificing space or style.
This enclosure maintains the sleek aesthetic and functionality of the Tesla’s interior. It enhances acoustics by providing a dedicated space for the subwoofer, ensuring a factory-fitted appearance.
The Installation Process
At Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we know that installing audio equipment in an EV requires precision and care. Our team took extra precautions during the installation to ensure each component was integrated safely without impacting the Tesla’s electrical systems.
Step 1: Assessment and Planning
We began by assessing the Tesla’s layout, carefully planning the placement of the amplifier, wiring, and subwoofer. This step is crucial for EVs to avoid interference with the vehicle’s electronics.
Step 2: Wiring with Precision
Using the Stinger 6000 Series wiring kit, we routed cables strategically for a clean setup and reduced signal interference. The Stinger wiring provided an efficient path for sound transmission, keeping the system stable while preserving battery life.
Step 3: Amplifier and Subwoofer Integration
We mounted the Audio Dynamics X1.5k Monoblock amplifier to maximize cooling and minimize power draw. Next, we installed the AudioMobile GTS 12 subwoofer in our Phantom Fit Enclosure, which fit seamlessly into the trunk area without modifications to the Tesla’s structure.
Step 4: Testing and Tuning
After installation, we tuned the system meticulously to achieve the perfect balance of bass and clarity. We adjusted amplifier settings and tested the subwoofer, fine-tuning everything to meet our client’s specific preferences.
The Result: A Transformative Audio Experience
The completed installation provided our client with a significantly enhanced audio experience, adding depth and dimension to every note. The Audio Dynamics amplifier and AudioMobile subwoofer delivered powerful, distortion-free bass, while the Stinger wiring maintained system stability and efficiency. The Phantom Fit Enclosure provided a factory-fitted look that preserved the Tesla’s interior aesthetics.
Our client left thrilled with their Tesla’s new audio setup, confident in the quality, performance, and safety of their custom upgrade. This project illustrates how a carefully curated and professionally installed system can enhance an EV’s audio capabilities without compromising its unique benefits.
