At Next Level Orlando Custom Audio, we love working on all kinds of vehicles—from cutting-edge boats to classic muscle cars. This week, we had the pleasure of adding a little modern tech to a true American classic: a beautifully restored Oldsmobile 442 convertible.
Classic Style Meets Modern Safety
The Oldsmobile 442 is an icon of the muscle car era, known for its raw power, stylish lines, and pure driving experience. While the look and feel of a vintage car are timeless, we can all agree that modern safety and recording technology are worth having.
That’s why the owner of this 442 brought it in for a discreet dashcam installation. Our goal was to add protection and peace of mind without disrupting the vehicle’s vintage aesthetic.
Clean and Unobtrusive Installation
We mounted the dashcam neatly behind the rearview mirror, keeping wiring hidden and preserving the clean lines of the interior. The camera sits just out of the driver’s direct line of sight, capturing everything on the road ahead without drawing attention.
A dashcam in a classic car isn’t just about accident recording—it’s also a great way to capture scenic drives, car show parades, and once-in-a-lifetime moments behind the wheel of such a rare machine.
Appreciating the Details
While we were installing the dashcam, we couldn’t help but admire the immaculate interior of this 442—complete with color-matched floor mats, retro gauges, and a gorgeous blue vinyl finish. This car is clearly loved and cared for, and now it’s ready to cruise with the added benefit of high-definition recording.
Upgrade Your Ride—Classic or Modern
Whether you drive a modern vehicle or a vintage collector’s piece, Next Level can help integrate the latest tech without compromising style. From dashcams and sound systems to marine electronics and custom fabrication, we’ve got the expertise to take your ride to the next level.

Alpine R-Series Subwoofers: Setting the Stage for Sonic Brilliance
To infuse the Challenger’s interior with heart-pounding audio, we turned to the Alpine R-Series 10-inch subwoofers. Renowned for their exceptional sound quality and performance, these subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep, impactful bass that adds a new dimension to the listening experience.
The choice of the Alpine R-Series was not just about enhancing the bass; it was about creating a symphony that resonates perfectly with the car’s character. These subwoofers excel in delivering accurate and clear bass notes, ensuring that the music remains detailed and dynamic even at high volumes.
We fitted this Dodge Challenger with some all new Alpine subwoofers, and a custom built subwoofer enclosure!
Crafting Excellence: Custom Subwoofer Enclosure
To harness the full potential of the Alpine R-Series subwoofers, we embarked on the creation of a custom-fitted and built subwoofer enclosure. This step was crucial to achieving the best possible audio performance while maintaining the Challenger’s interior aesthetics.
- Design and Measurements: Our team meticulously measured the available space in the trunk and carefully designed an enclosure that optimized both air volume and subwoofer positioning. The enclosure’s design was not only functional but also tailored to blend seamlessly with the Challenger’s interior design.
- Precision Fabrication: Crafting the enclosure required precision fabrication to ensure a perfect fit. We used high-quality materials that not only enhanced audio quality but also ensured the enclosure’s durability and longevity.
- Integration and Aesthetics: The custom enclosure was designed to look like an integral part of the trunk, showcasing our commitment to preserving the Challenger’s visual appeal. It seamlessly merged with the existing design, proving that audio enhancements can be both impressive and subtle.
Alpine Series R 10“ Subwoofers
The Sonic Symphony Unleashed
Once the Alpine R-Series subwoofers and custom enclosure were seamlessly integrated into the purple Dodge Challenger, it was time for the moment of truth. With the audio system calibrated and tuned to perfection, the Challenger’s interior was transformed into an acoustic wonderland. The deep, resonant bass notes combined with the powerful engine’s roar, creating a symphony that resonated not only in the ears but in the soul of the driver.
Unleashing the Roar: Elevating the Chevy SS Camaro Sound System
The heart-pounding roar of a Chevy SS Camaro is a symphony that resonates with automotive enthusiasts. Yet, there’s more to a thrilling driving experience than just the engine’s melody. Recently, we had the exhilarating opportunity to enhance a Chevy SS Camaro’s sound system, turning it into a rolling concert hall. By integrating a selection of premium components, including ALPINE speakers, amplifiers, a subwoofer enclosure, and sound deadening mat, we embarked on a journey to elevate both the car’s audio quality and its driving allure.
A Symphony of Sound
The Chevy SS Camaro is a performance icon, characterized by its aggressive styling and powerful engine. While the engine’s rumble commands attention, an impressive sound system can heighten the driving experience, making every journey an auditory adventure. Our task was to transform the cabin into a soundstage, where music comes to life in unprecedented clarity and depth.

ALPINE 4/3/2 Channel Power Density Amplifier
ALPINE R Series R-A75M Mono Power Density Amplifier
ALPINE Single 10″ ALPINE Halo R-Series Preloaded Subwoofer Enclosure with ProLink™
Stinger sound deadening mat
Craftsmanship and Performance: The Result
The culmination of these upgrades transformed the Chevy SS Camaro’s interior into a concert-grade sound system. The X-Series speakers brought vocals and instruments to life with stunning accuracy, while the amplifiers unleashed power that resonated with the car’s performance-oriented soul. The ALPINE Halo subwoofer enclosure added a deep, pulsating bass that resonated with the heartbeat of the engine.

A customer brought us this 2019 Camaro RS for parking sensors that we color matched and painted. We installed in the front and back bumpers with an LED display right in front of the steering wheel so the driver can feel safe when approaching close objects and walls. The owner also had us install a backup camera.

Next Level prides itself on custom stereos like this one our team did in a wide body Ford Mustang. A lot of work was done to this car by the owner like the vehicle wrap, engine upgrades, wide body kit, and it’s gutted for a better power-to-weight ratio. The customer wanted us to make him a Next Level type custom stereo that fit in the trunk. We installed 4 Kicker amps, made a custom plate and custom mold to hold the Alpine subwoofer, then added new LED lights to showcase the trunk.

This Ford Mustang GT belongs to one of our top fabricators, and some of you know him because of his car, but recently, Tony had the opportunity to take his wild horse to the Next Level. After his modifications were custom made and installed by himself (of course), a proper photo shoot was in order. The iconic Downtown Orlando mural that represents decades of The City Beautiful, was the perfect spot for photos to show off Tony’s Next Level Mustang GT California Special.

Next Level specializes in customizing vehicles and many of people love to get their vehicles setup with new wheels and tires. This Camaro was put on a set of Niche Road Wheels wrapped with Nitto Tires. The customer chose to go with a staggered stance so the tires in the back are wider than the front. The 20″ wheel looks bigger because of the wider rim and concave design making this Camaro look very cool.
