A client from Ocala brought her 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide to Ocala Car Audio for an audio system upgrade. She and a few friends planned a cross-country ride and she wanted the audio system upgraded before she left. This bike has the navigation system that was introduced with Project Rushmore. There is no value in replacing the radio, so we suggested adding an amplifier and new speakers to handle the power. She loved the plan, so we scheduled an appointment.
We took the front fairing apart and installed a Kenwood KAC-M3004 in a bridged configuration to power the front speakers. This amp, wired this way, produces up to 150 watts to each speaker. To handle that power, we installed a set of Hertz HCX-165.4 6.5-inch coaxial speakers from the Hi-Energy line. We set the gains up on the amp to ensure the client could turn the radio up without the system distorting.
When the client returned to pick up the bike, she hopped on for a listen. The difference in performance from the anemic factory speakers was like night and day. There was more clarity and a lot more volume.

The owner of this 2009 Fountain 38 Tournament Edition boat contacted Ocala Car Audio about having an 
A recent interview with Ocala Car Audio owner Parish Tanner gave some unique insight into the story behind this great business. Read on to learn all about Ocala Car Audio history.
As Parish grew up and fell more and more in love with car audio, he dreamed of the day he could make his first purchase of new equipment. He had spent years purchasing used items because when you only make $2.85 an hour, it’s hard to save up. Once he found the speakers he wanted to purchase at a local shop, he decided he’d do whatever he could to get them. After talking with the salesmen, they agreed to put the speakers on layaway for him. To this day, that is the reason Ocala Car Audio offers layaway to their clients. One of his closest friends to this day, Claudio, was a layaway customer more than 20 years ago.
Ocala Car Audio continued to grow and make a name for themselves. In 2010, they were named one of the Top 50 Retailers in the country by Mobile Electronics magazine and. In 2011, they won Retailer of the Year, which is the most prestigious award in the industry.
A local business owner from here in Ocala, Florida, dropped by Ocala Car Audio with his wife to talk about making some upgrades to this 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. The truck was to be a gift for their son’s 16th birthday, and they wanted an audio system and some accessories installed as a holiday present. The client found us through our website and online reviews. We put together a proposal for the client and, on his approval, scheduled an appointment to begin work on this Silverado 2500HD audio upgrade.
Years ago, everyone was worried that radio frequency remote controls, like the one that you used to open your garage door, were easy prey for someone with a code grabber. If you have seen the Nicholas Cage version of “Gone in 60 Seconds” from 2000, then you’d think that stealing a car was as easy as walking up to it with a magical black box and pressing a button. We are here to tell you that it’s not that easy. Let’s look at why, and how smartphone based security can protect you from the new wave of thieves.
The mobile security industry responded with a system called a Rolling Code Transmitter. This system never uses the same code twice. Each time you press the button on your remote, it transmits a completely new and different code. The receiver processes any code it receives to determine whether it is valid, based on the original remote pairing. The basic concept is that the new code had to be a multiple of a previous code. The latest transmitters also use frequency-hopping to add another layer of complexity and protection against thieves.
If you are looking for maximum security, then the Internet is the solution. If your vehicle has a telematics interface like SmartStart from
