A customer came in with her VW Beetle telling us of a group that she hangs out with and how she wanted to impress them with a next-level stereo out of her little car. We were very excited to get started building out a custom stereo that would make her friend’s jaw be found on the floor.
To make this a great sounding stereo, we needed to install professional speakers in the doors replacing the existing stock equipment. This required a 3-way active component set in the doors which means each speaker is powered by the amp individually. Our stereo professionals installed Mmatts Pro Audio speakers in each door with a mix of other brands and we fabricated a custom door panel for the speakers. The top speaker is a bullet, the others are a 6.5″ and an 8″.
2 JL Audio 12″ subwoofers were installed in a custom fabricated box in the trunk. A single JL amp was installed just for the subs, another JL amp was installed just for the door speakers, and an Alpine sound processor was installed to give the right power and sound combination for all types of music. These subwoofers need a break-in period to ensure quality sound and for components to stretch their legs.
It’s called a “break-in period” that we educated owners on and you may read elsewhere that it is not required, but our experience with car audio shows us that we suggest this with any high-level subwoofer.
We tell customers, “Don’t blast the stereo for one week, then come back in and we will tune the sound processor to handle the volume you desire to impress.”
LED lights and a switch were the last things to be installed.

A friend of ours recently found this right-hand drive, diesel, 4WD, Toyota Master Ace Surf van somewhere on the northwest side of the country, and had it shipped down to Orlando. It had a poor stereo previously installed and came into Next Level to swap out the old speakers, put in a new touchscreen Pioneer radio, and we installed a new Alpine sub and amp combo box that we engineered to sound great in the center of the vehicle.
This authentic Japanese van has 3 rows of seating and has a mid-engine design that you basically sit on when sitting in the front seats. We had to make sure that the subwoofer wires would easily allow the engine hatch to flip up when motor work needed to be done.
Below are pictures of the stereo installed with Pioneer and Alpine USA. You can see that the door speakers are Alpine speakers but since they do not come with a protective grill for the specific size, we found a Kicker grill that fits the 2 door speakers. Under the middle bench, we installed an amp and sub combo box that is basically a plug and play option in an 8″ size and being in the middle of the van with that small of speakers, a more “full” sound.
