Integration with Factory Car Audio Equipment
Dashboards and electronics in modern vehicles are highly integrated and evolved. There’s almost no reason that, for an initial improvement, you need remove the in-dash stereo supplied from the factory. This is a counter-intuitive thought-process for many consumers who have been led to a stereo replacement as the first step in their path to incredible car audio. The fact is, Kingpin’s Las Vegas experts can utilize and enhance your factory supplied in-dash car stereo with vastly improved sound and additional features, such as Bluetooth hands-free capability, satellite radio or auxiliary inputs from an iOS®, Android™, Windows Mobile®, Kindle® or other portable device. Kingpin’s technicians can also achieve greater flexibility of operating the system for how you choose to enjoy your audio experience.
- Digital Signal Processing – Using the latest technologies in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) equipment and integration techniques, Kingpin’s installation technicians can utilize the factory stereo’s signal as a foundation for an amazing audio system upgrade. The flexibility of DSP, combined with the expertise of Kingpin’s leadership in factory audio integration, allows for correction and enhancement of anything in the audio spectrum that the factory system’s audio signal lacks. Put simply, Kingpin knows how to leverage technology to create an amazing audio foundation from the factory stereo already in your vehicle.
- Inputs of All Kinds – If your factory stereo lacks new technologies like satellite radio, Bluetooth, GPS navigation, auxiliary inputs or a video playback capability, chances are Kingpin’s experts have a tasteful and integrated solution to add those features in an easy-to-operate manner.
- Increase Volume Capacity – Nearly all factory-installed audio systems lack the ability to achieve sufficient volume to sound pleasing to the ear, even if they did sound good. Kingpin’s expert system designers and installation technicians can recommend appropriate upgrades for amplification that either compliment the factory-installed speakers or that pair well with an amplifier and speaker system upgrade approach. Either way, you’ll smile instead of cringe when you turn up the volume.
- Enhance Sound Quality – Enhancing the overall quality and excitement of the car’s sound system is Kingpin’s advantage. Their highly qualified and trained technicians have year of audio calibration and tuning experience that allows the added equipment to be tailored for optimum sound quality in your specific vehicle.

Custom Subwoofer Enclosures
A subwoofer is the foundation of any car audio system’s capacity to entertain the listeners. Without an optimized enclosure, a subwoofer is merely a large diameter speaker making noise. Kingpin builds 100 percent of their subwoofer enclosures in house. This ensures a perfect fit, every single time. The requirements for internal airspace, the external finishes to blend with the trunk or interior and the size or quantity of subwoofers is something that will be unique to each and every client. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Kingpin’s expert installation technicians opt for the fit and finish of a ‘build to fit’ philosophy. This means they can fit subwoofers in locations that best integrate with your vehicle, the way you use it and with the level of audio performance you expect.
Impeccable Installation Attributes
Kingpin’s detail-oriented installation procedures ensures your amplifier, speakers, signal processor, head unit or other audio product is completed with the utmost attention to detail. Here are some of the details that are standard Kingpin processes, even if never seen by the client:
- Metal Mounting Racks – All amplifiers, signal processors and other audio ‘black boxes’ are typically mounted to a metal structure fabricated by Kingpin’s expert fabrication team. This approach allows a factory-like efficiency in serviceability of equipment and preservation of the vehicle’s existing chassis and sheet metal.
- Service Loops – Any aftermarket wiring completed at Kingpin has service loops for convenient access and service of the equipment without having to disconnect it. This attribute is especially useful for allowing the audio system to remain operational while both calibrating and tuning, or if any troubleshooting is necessary. It’s a small, but critical detail that many clients will never see yet allows Kingpin’s technicians to respect the time of the client without unnecessary delays.
- Soldered Connections – Kingpin solders all wire-to-wire connections with heat shrink tubing or UL-rated electrical tape to ensure longevity and lasting performance in all weather conditions. With Kingpin’s connection methodology, you need not worry.
- Extensive use of Composites – Kingpin’s fabrication regimen utilizes advanced materials in areas where inclement weather or solar exposure is a concern, such as an interior panel or inside a door. Advanced plastics, high-strength fiberglass and other advanced composites are frequently chosen to form speaker adapters, subwoofer enclosure panels and perform integrated dashboard modifications.
- Testing and Validation – Kingpin’s installation technicians test and validate segments of the audio system installation as it’s completed so that when the whole project comes together, there are no unexpected failures, surprises or time-wasting issues. This approach of regular testing and validation along the way ensures Kingpin is respecting the client’s time.
Client Education

As such, they spend the time it takes to educate and inform the clients about their possibilities for enhancement of their vehicle’s audio system, as well as a thorough presentation and demonstration after the installation is complete.
