2024 Ferrari 296 GTB — Es**rt Redline Ci Radar Detector & Laser Countermeasures

Making these systems look & feel like a factory option is always a challenge, and Ferrari’s design language always seems to be more challenging than most. With the ability to 3D scan the cars we work with, we can better understand the possibilities and create some truly unique mounting systems that mimic OEM parts. From the ir-transmissive laser housings to the column display mount, everything feels like it’s supposed to be there.

Even the little red MUTE button feels like a factory-inspired touch.

Signature Project — 1968 Chevrolet C10

This project was one of the most involved we’ve ever had the opportunity to build. Working with the client from the ground up on decisions involving paint, interior trim and audio equipment was a key component in getting the right results.

We’ve got a couple hundred hours into making this truck look like it rolled out of production with this interior. The door panels, kick panels center console, headliner, subwoofer enclosure and center dash panel were all hand-fabricated in house here at Musicar. Of course, the audio system is also incredibly detailed with plenty of undistorted volume to overcome the engine noise.

The team over at has as much or more into the paint, body and performance. The stitch work that complements the interior design was handled by the talented and the paint is protected with a very well executed PPF wrap from .

It’s a bittersweet moment to hand the keys over, but we can’t wait to see the owner out on the road enjoying the fruits of a long and tedious process. Thanks for letting us help create this dream ride for you 🫡

2025 BMW M8 Competition. We recently completed this stunning subwoofer enclosure on this project. Earlier this year, we had completed a full audio upgrade to the cabin, along with our Signature integration of an Es**rt Redline 360ci system for Radar and Laser Defense.

For this stage of the project, the goals were simple - an incredible amount of bass without sacrificing Sound Quality, in an enclosure that makes a statement without looking out of place.

What we came up with fits the bill perfectly - a sealed, downfiring enclosure with dual FOCAL Utopia 10" Subwoofers, powered by a Helix P-ONE MK2. The top of the enclosure is curved, and features two .50" acrylic windows to view the Utopia Subwoofers and our interior detail work. The interior of the enclosure is upholstered in Aclantara suede, and features grill mesh panels with red accents. LED lighting adds a dramatic element to the design.

And it sounds as good as it looks. 😎

2024 PORSCHE 911 TURBO S CABRIOLET(992) — We get the opportunity to work with some really cool cars owned by some really great people, and this 992 TTS is no exception.

When a long-standing client of ours told us he had this car on order, we were excited. When he told us that he wants good bass response in a cabriolet, we were a little less enthusiastic. But, when he explained that he didn't need the useless back seats in this car, we put together a plan to not only get the bass response desired, but also solve his problem of where to toss his backpack or duffel bag on a quick trip.

The core sound system upgrade is comprised of our very own Stage Three system for the 992 Bose platform. If you're unfamiliar, this incorporates a 10-channel DSP amplifier to replace the original and a replacement of the front three way components with a set designed for us by Morel of Israel — all available as a DIY, plug-n-play solution. Standalone, this is a fantastic sound, even without a dedicated subwoofer. But, in the interest of phenomenal sound, we added a single channel 600w amplifier and a pair of 8" subwoofers from Arc Audio.

The base of the rear seats was removed and a pair of enclosure frames were fabricated to fit. The bottom layer was formed from a fiberglass mold to take advantage of every bit of available airspace. The enclosures were trimmed with a vented and carpeted top plate to allow the woofers to breath but not let any foreign items fall into the void. The front fascia was certainly the most involved piece, shaped and contoured to honor the original Porsche design language and upholstered to match.

The final results are a seamless, OEM-like solution with an incredible amount of low-bass extension — a sound system that truly complements such a beautiful machine.
