Freeman's Car Stereo

Freeman's Car Stereo The Carolinas’ best known and most respected name in car, home, & marine audio.
(279)

Established in 1978
Over 30 years ago, John Freeman began installing custom car stereo systems out of a tin storage building. Word quickly spread that here was someone who not only knew how to make automotive sound something special, but knew how to do it at a very reasonable cost. Needless to say, it didn't take long for John Freeman to move to his first real store. Today, Freeman's Car Stereo is

the Carolinas' best known and most respected name in mobile entertainment products and installations. Whether it's for a car or a boat, a motorhome, a rock star's tour buss, or a NASCAR legend's Hummer, Freeman's Car Stereo's unsurpassed expertise, quality products and superb installation still provide the value and customer satisfaction that were the foundation of the business begun in that tin shed over 30 years ago. Freeman's exists for just one reason: making that car, that truck, that boat, that motorhome uniquely yours. You can find Freeman's in Charlotte, Cornelius, Concord, Gastonia, Hickory, and Rock Hill.

It’s hard to capture fully on video just how incredible this Tesla Model S Plaid job turned out in Concord.

A customer saw a Tesla frunk amplifier infinity mirror job posted online by our our friends over at Stereo King and had to have it. The problem: he lived in VA. Instead of shipping it, Stereo King told him: go to Freeman’s, that’s who we trust.

Chad and Travis executed it just right and then some. Chad got freedom to do what he felt worked best for the custom work in the back and now this vehicle is truly one of a kind.

Thanks to Kevin at Stereo King for the rec, this was a fun one.🙏

What do you get when you hand a 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrack Sasquatch Edition to a team that can design and fabricate custom work in-house? This.

Freeman’s Car Stereo CEO David Wall walks you through every detail of this fully custom build, starting in the rear and working forward to a front stage that has to be seen to be believed.

Starting out back, the custom modular sub enclosure was designed to echo the Bronco’s iconic round grille shape and headlight ovals. The layered acrylic panels, laser-cut in-house, use those same oval forms to create a look that feels like it belongs to the truck. Black and beige vinyl ties the whole piece to the interior upholstery, and quick disconnects make the enclosure fully removable.

Up front, the custom door speaker pods were built to occupy the exact space left by the factory storage nets. An incredible detail you might miss, is that the pattern of those nets were incorporated into the final design of the pods. The logo is cut directly from acrylic (not printed vinyl) and finished with the same oval motifs used throughout the build, tying everything together visually from front to back.

Products:

Kicker CXA1800.1 mono amplifier powering the sub enclosure, mounted on a custom amp rack
Audison AF M12.14 bit 12-channel DSP amplifier handling the entire front stage
Hertz Cento Series 4” speakers in the rear
Hertz Mille Legend ML 1800.3 7” mid-woofers in the custom door pods
Hertz Mille Legend ML 700.3 3” midrange and ML 280.3 28mm tweeters completing the front stage
Magnetic panel construction (made in-house at Freeman’s) throughout for easy serviceability without removing door panels

The result is a vehicle that sounds as purposeful as it looks. Very loud, very fun, and built to turn heads everywhere it goes.

Interested in a custom build for your vehicle? Freeman’s Car Stereo has 7 locations across the Charlotte and Asheville areas, and our team loves a challenge.

The purple monster is probably one of the loudest builds we’ve ever done. But also super clean. Willi said it doesn’t hurt, but you can feel it in every part of your body.

➡️ 2012 Honda Accord

That’s Willi and the owner of the vehicle having a blast. Stay tuned for more of this car.
