When it comes to enhancing your off-road experience, quality audio can transform every ride into an adventure. Recently, our team at Next Level completed a premium custom audio installation on a Kawasaki KRX 1000, featuring top-of-the-line components from JL Marine Audio, now part of the Garmin Marine family.


The Challenge
The Kawasaki KRX 1000 is a beast on the trails, but like many side-by-sides, it doesn’t come with the audio setup that serious riders demand. Our client wanted crystal-clear sound that could cut through engine noise, wind, and rough terrain—without compromising the vehicle’s rugged capabilities.
The Solution: JL Marine Audio by Garmin
We chose JL Marine Audio components (now under the Garmin Marine brand) for several key reasons:
- Weather Resistance: Marine-grade components are built to withstand moisture, dust, and extreme conditions—perfect for off-road environments
- Superior Sound Quality: JL Audio’s reputation for exceptional audio performance ensures every note comes through clearly
- Durability: These systems are engineered for the harshest conditions, making them ideal for the demanding world of off-road riding
The Installation
Our custom installation included:
- Premium Marine Speakers: Strategically positioned for optimal sound distribution throughout the cabin
- Amplification: Powerful amplification to ensure clear audio even at high speeds and over rough terrain
- Weather-Sealed Wiring: Professional-grade connections that protect against the elements
- Clean Integration: Seamless mounting that maintains the KRX’s aggressive aesthetic while delivering premium sound
- Custom Enclosures: Our techs are experience in fabricating custom enclosures for not only the speakers and subwoofers, but also the amplifiers. Then, wrap them in weather-resistant material to handle the elements.


The Result
The finished installation delivers concert-quality audio that enhances every ride. Whether you’re cruising trails with friends or pushing the limits on challenging terrain, you’ll enjoy:
- Clear, powerful sound at any speed
- Reliable performance in all weather conditions
- A professional, factory-quality appearance
- Enhanced resale value for your machine

At Next Level Car Audio, we love a challenge. When a Ferrari Portofino rolled into our shop, we knew this installation would be nothing short of precision craftsmanship. The project? A custom Alpine Electronics stereo upgrade and a K40 Electronics speed ticket protection system seamlessly integrated into the front and rear bumpers.

Precision Meets Performance
Ferrari vehicles are engineered for performance and elegance, which means every modification must match their high standards. Installing a custom stereo system in the Portofino required extreme attention to detail. Alpine Electronics provided the perfect high-fidelity sound solution, enhancing the driving experience without compromising the factory design.







Our team carefully designed and fitted the Alpine system, ensuring:
✅ Crystal-clear sound at high speeds
✅ Custom fabrication for a seamless fit
✅ Minimal weight impact to maintain Ferrari’s performance
The results? A sound experience that complements the thrill of driving this Italian masterpiece.
Seamless Wireless Phone Charging Integration
Convenience is key in any modern vehicle, so we went a step further by installing a wireless phone charging pad under the dash, perfectly positioned between the driver and passenger seats.




This addition allows for:
⚡ Effortless charging—no more tangled cords
⚡ Discreet placement—hidden yet accessible
⚡ OEM-style integration that blends with the Portofino’s interior
This premium convenience feature ensures the driver stays powered up without compromising the Ferrari’s clean interior design.
The Ultimate Speed Ticket Protection: K40 Electronics
No high-performance vehicle is complete without the right protection on the road. We installed a K40 Electronics speed ticket protection system, one of the most advanced radar and laser defense systems available. This required precise mounting in the front and rear bumpers to ensure maximum coverage.




K40’s advanced technology provides:
🔵 Full 360-degree radar detection
🔵 Custom alerts for hidden speed traps
🔵 Stealth installation with no visible components

Notice in the picture above that the you can notice the parking sensors, but with a closer look you can barley spot the 3 laser diffusers. By integrating the K40 system flawlessly, we kept the Ferrari’s sleek design intact while offering the owner peace of mind on every drive.
