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.

In the world of automotive legends, the Chevy Corvette Stingray holds a special place. A true icon of the roads, this classic beauty recently embarked on a transformative journey at our shop, where it was infused with modern innovations while preserving its timeless allure. As the engine roared and the wheels turned, the Corvette Stingray underwent a series of upgrades, from an Alpine head unit to custom speakers, a powerful amp, and a host of thoughtful additions. This article unveils the story of how a vintage masterpiece was seamlessly blended with cutting-edge technology.
Modernizing the Interior
The heart of this classic was revived with modern technology as the iLX-507 Alpine head unit was seamlessly integrated. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto breathed new life into the Corvette’s dashboard, providing connectivity and entertainment at the touch of a button. The experience was further elevated with the addition of the HCE-C114 Alpine rear camera, offering a modern safety feature without compromising the car’s aesthetics.
A Symphony of Sound
The transformation extended to the auditory realm, with the introduction of X-Series 6.5″ speakers that were ingeniously housed within custom-fabricated kick panels. The challenge of redesigning the kick panels was met with precision, ensuring that the speakers not only fit seamlessly but also enhanced the car’s interior aesthetics. The audio journey continued with the addition of R-Series 6×9″ speakers, delivering a full spectrum of sound.
Amplifiers and Subwoofers
The modernization included the X-Series 5 channel amp, which not only integrated seamlessly but also ensured that every note was delivered with precision. The heartbeat of the sound system was the R-Series 10″ subwoofer, housed in a custom matte black enclosure that exuded sophistication. A custom trim panel added a touch of personalization.
The Corvette Stingray’s character was preserved as we relocated the lower A/C vent
The journey of modernizing the Classic Chevy Corvette Stingray is a celebration of innovation. It’s a testament to the fact that technology and design can coexist to create an automotive masterpiece that resonates with both nostalgia and modern sensibilities. As this revitalized classic takes to the roads, it does so as a beacon of automotive excellence, proving that some legends only get better with time.
This Ferrari 458 came in for brand-new Focal door speakers and JL Audio subwoofers. The focal door speakers combine the pleasure of driving with the love for sound and music by extending the low end of the frequency response, promising extraordinary harmonic balance.
We installed two 8-inch JL Audio subwoofers in the back to create outstanding bass in this small and fully custom enclosure. These subwoofers drop very low frequencies, have spectacular reproduction with kick drums and guitar bass, and are spot on with accuracy. The client’s expectations were exceeded when we blew them away with the outstanding sound quality

A customer stopped in with a request that his F250 have a “Next Level” stereo that was sleek in design; almost unnoticed to any passengers. He wanted access to the EQ controls from the driver seat which we did. Please Note* with a processor, Next Level is trained to tune your system perfectly from our laptop remotely inside the vehicle before delivery so there is never a need to make adjustments to sound levels of your new stereo, no matter what the style of music is chosen.
It’s suppose to sound perfect every time, that’s a Next Level Stereo.
Inside our showroom, we introduced a couple of different speaker options from our demo wall. We suggested that with the Alpine X speakers, an Alpine advanced wireless digital signal processor PXE-0850s to be the best option for what the customer wanted to accomplish.

For the best sound after the door speakers were chosen, we had to custom build a beautiful box underneath the backseat bench to enclose the two 10″ Alpine subwoofers and amplifier. In order for the customer to be happy with the a sleek design, our fabricators built a custom box with a “Limited” Ford name plate which we illuminated from inside the box as well as installed extra blue LED lighting for design. After the box was built, our fabricators added a soft brown carpet to the top, then wrapped the sides with rich brown leather, and stitched it all together.

We love building “Next Level” custom stereos and working with clients/friends on their ideas of doing something special and original to their vehicles. We really get to know our customers like the owner of this truck when we bring to life a Next Level system.
We also made custom headlights, added LED around the truck (inside and out) Rigid Industries – LED Lighting in the bumper and a Wet Sounds soundbar also in the front bumper for music when parked. Not to worry, that music soundbar is waterproof 🙂
Gig ups to FullSpoolPerformance / American Force Wheels / SeaDek Marine Nonskid / Cognito Motorsports for an awesome Chevy 2500HD build for Broc Hall.

Client brought in a 18′ Mako center console and wanted to have a full marine sound system installed. We used a Kicker Marine 800.5 amplifier to power six 6.5″ Kicker Marine speakers with RGB lighting and two 10″ Marine subwoofers.
One speaker mounted on either side of the rear gunnel.
One speaker mounted on each side of the center console.
Two of the speakers were mounted in tower enclosures and installed overhead.
