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 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.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    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.

    Never a bad day of fishing in this customized Maverick Fishing boat, loaded with upgrades. Starting with fully customized SeaDek® sidewalls, flooring, custom SeaDek® engine decals and registration numbers; with custom graphic cutouts of SeaDek® using our CNC machine also. We added new technology, new seat upholstery, two Power-Pole’s, and a Troll Motor. We also added a new Bimini Top, a JL Audio Marine speaker system upgrade, and a fully custom built center console with a new chartplotter screen and a new switch panel made out of acrylic with built in lighting and new Bocatech Switches.

    Setting Sail with SeaDek®: A New Level of Comfort

    Navigating the waters can be both exhilarating and soothing. To make the experience even more enjoyable, we embarked on the journey of upgrading a boat’s flooring with SeaDek®, a premium marine flooring solution. SeaDek® offers a soft and comfortable surface that transforms the boat’s interior into a space of luxurious relaxation. Whether it’s lounging in the sun or moving around the boat, SeaDek® adds an extra layer of comfort that enhances the entire experience.

    Innovative Utility: The SeaDek® Ruler for Measuring Fish

    Beyond comfort, a Maverick boat became a haven for anglers with an innovative addition – the SeaDek® ruler. This practical solution not only enhances the fishing experience but also adds a touch of convenience. The SeaDek® ruler is more than just a measurement tool; it’s a connection to the sport of fishing itself. As anglers reel in their catch, they can easily measure their success right on the boat, creating memories that are marked by both the thrill of the catch and the convenience of technology.

    Custom Built Center Console

    We built this center console fully custom and embedded technology into it. Made out of fiberglass, we were able to custom fit a new chartplotter from Garmin and add the engine gauges, plus a new light bar. The end result looks like the center console came from the factory.

    Chartplotter and Switches Upgrade

    New features:

    Garmin 8600 Series 12 In Touchscreen IPS Multi-Function Display Chartplotter/ Sonar Combo, BlueChart G3 and LakeVu. It was also given an Airmar B75m thru hull transducer. Newly installed BocaTech Switchboard that was custom made from acrylic on our CNC machine then backlit with LED lighting.

    The Custom Designed Center Console and Bocatech Switchboard

    The fully custom-built center console pod is fully integrated with acrylic cutouts that showcased the chartplotter and radio screens. These cutouts weren’t just functional; they were a testament to design precision. The navigation screen, a gateway to charting new horizons, a connection to the world beyond the waters, were elegantly embedded within the console pod. This arrangement ensured that vital information was readily available without disrupting the boat’s aesthetic.

    The Bocatech switch board found its home within the center console, the boat’s interior look took on a new dimension. The center console became a command center, where every function was at the boater’s fingertips. The beauty of the switches aligned perfectly with the boat’s aesthetics, creating an environment that was both inspiring and intuitive.

    Lighting and Sound System

    Nestled within the center console, this lightbar brought illumination that was as functional as it was stunning. With razor-sharp precision, the lightbar lit up the boat’s surroundings, extending the journey into the night. The waters beneath seemed to come alive with a magical glow, marking a passage into the unknown with a touch of luminous brilliance.

    Bimini Top Cover

    Crafting Comfort: The Importance of a Bimini Top Cover

    A bimini top cover isn’t just a practical accessory; it’s a gateway to comfortable leisure. It provides a haven from the sun’s intensity while allowing boaters to savor the surrounding beauty without worry. In the heart of the open waters, the bimini top cover becomes a retreat, a place where conversations flow, meals are shared, and moments are cherished.

    Custom Upholstery and Fabrication

    We gave this Maverick custom made upholstery for maximum comfort out on the water.

    We powder coated the frame of the seat and the tower around the motor.

    Power Pole and Trolling Motor

    This customer asked for a new trolling motor and a shallow anchor system both from Power Pole. The Move PV trolling motor was chosen. Power Pole scoured every inch of standard trolling motors for reoccurring failure points unacceptable to top anglers. This allowed us to reinforce MOVE with backup systems on top of backup systems, on top of even more backup systems, in just the right places, to maximize resiliency. All because we know seasoned anglers demand the most out of their trolling motor and live by them every day.

    The ultimate game-changer in Total Boat Control, MOVE PV has been crafted with almost a decade’s worth of hard work and dedication from Power-Pole. This next-gen brushless trolling motor is designed to deliver unparalleled power, impressive durability and extreme efficiency – all while operating with near absolute silence.

    Lighting

    A New Horizon of Illumination: The Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series Lights

    The allure of the sea under the stars can be enchanting, and the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights are designed to capture that magic. With multi-color capabilities, these lights can transform the boat’s surroundings into a canvas of vibrant colors, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for nighttime excursions. From soothing blues to vivid reds, the lighting possibilities are as diverse as the sea itself.

    Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights installed, with multi color lights, and also with Surge Protection, Reverse Polarity Protection, and Thermal Throttling Protection.

    Surge Protection

    Navigating the waters requires both beauty and security. That’s why the incorporation of Surge Protection in this lighting upgrade is crucial. Unpredictable weather conditions or power fluctuations can pose a threat to electronic components. Surge Protection acts as a safeguard, preventing sudden voltage spikes from damaging the lights or other sensitive equipment on board.

    Reverse Polarity Protection

    In the dynamic world of boating, the installation of equipment can sometimes result in incorrect wiring. With Reverse Polarity Protection in place, the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights can withstand incorrect wiring connections without sustaining damage. This protection ensures that the lights continue to operate flawlessly even in situations where wiring mistakes could have proven disastrous.

    Thermal Throttling Protection

    The marine environment can be demanding, subjecting equipment to varying temperatures. To maintain optimal performance and longevity, the inclusion of Thermal Throttling Protection is essential. This protection mechanism monitors the temperature of the lights and adjusts their output to prevent overheating. This not only ensures consistent performance but also enhances the lights’ lifespan.

    A Symphony of Light and Protection

    With the installation of the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights and the incorporation of advanced protections, this boat underwent a remarkable transformation. As the sun sets and the stars emerge, the boat now becomes a beacon of color and elegance on the water, drawing attention and admiration.

    If you’re looking to upgrade your boat with a durable and stylish flooring solution, look no further than SeaDek®. Recently, we had the pleasure of customizing a Regal 28 Express boat called The Bryson’s with SeaDek® flooring.

    SeaDek® is a superior alternative to marine carpets and traditional molded-in non-skid. It’s designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment and is made from UV-resistant closed-cell PE/EVA foam that will not absorb water. This means that it’s incredibly easy to clean and maintain and won’t deteriorate or mildew over time.

    One of the key features of SeaDek® is its exceptional traction, which is just as good when wet as it is when dry. This makes it a safer option for boaters, particularly those who are fishing or engaging in other activities that require sure footing. In addition, SeaDek®’s shock-absorbing qualities deliver maximum comfort on the water, which is especially important for those who spend long days out on the boat

    Perhaps best of all, SeaDek® is fully customizable, and can be tailored to fit the exact dimensions of your boat’s flooring. This means that you can choose from a wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures to create a truly unique look that complements your boat’s style.

    At Next Level, we take pride in our ability to transform boats of all sizes with SeaDek® flooring installations that are both functional and stylish. Whether you have a small fishing boat or a large yacht, we can customize SeaDek® to fit your needs and make your boating experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
