New range of Hertz HE Energy Amplifiers from Audiomotiv in Northants

New for 2010, and following in Hertz’s tradition of high quality car audio , the new Hertz HE Energy range of amplifiers open up Hertz’s great car hi-fi to a new audience. Designed to retain the quality Hertz are renowned for, but at a more affordable price, the full range are available today from Audiomotiv RMD in Wellingborough.

Audiomotiv RMD are Northants only approved FourMaster supplier and installer of Hertz car hi-fi products, and are within easy reach from Northampton, Kettering, Bedford and Milton Keynes.

The new Hertz HE Energy amps feature cutting edge design and construction to ensure theyperform in the way you would expect from Hertz, at a price you would expect from entry level manufacturers. The Hertz HE range compises of a 2 channel , a 4 channel, and a monoblock 1 channel amplifiers ( The Hertz HE2 , HE4 and HE1D respectively ). so there is an amp to build almost any system , and being priced below the much renowned Hertz EP range, makes Hertz amplification accessible to the price concious or first time buyer for the first time.

The distinctive visual design of the Hertz HE amplifiers are not just to look nice, as the die cast heatsinks efficiently and robustly keep the amplifier cool, without the design constraints of traditional “fins”. The contrasting silver coloured shrouds at each end also cover over the terminals once installed, giving a more prefessional and neater installation.

Inside the Hertz HE amps, the attention to detail continues, with the Hertz HE 2 and 4 utilising quality SANKEN T03P output transistors in their class A/B design, and the HE 1-D T0247 power mosfets in a Class D configuration for powerful, clean high quality output.

Connecting your new Hertz HE amplifier into your car is also easy, regardless if you have an aftermarket stereo or the factory one. High Noise resistance inputs are taken care of by RCA phono leads from an aftermarket headunit, or via speaker level ( high-level ) input , which cleverly integrates Hertz ART system, automatically turning the HE amp on and off when audio is detected by the speaker inputs, doing away with a remote turn on from OEM stereos, and eliminating those pops and clicks on startup like inferior amplifier designs.

For self installers, there is also the backup and easy diagnosis of problems with Hertz HE amplifiers status logo. When operating fine, the Hertz HE amplifiers logo glows a cool blue. If the HE amp detects a problem this logo goes orange, to easily display a problem.

The Hertz HE amps really do bring a slice of affordable quality to your car audio install, and will be a reliable and much cherished audio product for years of ownership.

Ferrari California audio system upgrade from Audiomotiv Northamptonshire

Ferrari entered into a new and exciting market segment with the release of the Ferrari Califiornia, offering all the thrills of top down motoring with the convenience of a folding metal roof. Combined with the glorious sound of the V8, top down motoring round your favourite country roads is an aural and visceral treat!

However, being a GT first and foremost, the Ferrari California is designed to devour long distances with ease too. As beautiful as the sound of the engine is, on a long journey you want to relax and let the miles slide by, so you turn on the Californias audio system to enjoy your music collection, and immediately feel dissapointed.

Not only is the quality of sound barely on par with an average car audio system ( something you would not expect in a car such as the Ferrari California ), but its volume is barely adequate to block out tyre noise, let alone loud enough to truely enjoy your music.

Audiomotiv in Wellingborough Northamptonshire, a short journey from Milton Keynes, Northampton, Bedford and Birmingham, specialise in the integration and bespoke installation of premium car hi-fi systems to premium vehicles. With over 10 years professional experience in the design and construction of audio systems for vehicles ranging from Ferrari and Porsche, to Aston and Lamborghini, Audiomotiv’s technicians are here to create car hifi systems to bring the excitement of your music collection to your car.

We appreciate that most customers prefer to keep the interior of their car looking as the factory intended, so have developed audio upgrades that keep the interior original, yet vastly improving the sound. Our most popular audio upgrade for the Ferrari California retains the original Ferrari headunit, uses upgraded loudspeakers discretly mounted behind the original speaker grilles in the doors, and has an amplifier and processor mounted in a custom carpeted enclosure behind the rear seats, allowing the client to keep all the precious little boot space available.

We begin with the processor, the Audison Bit One. This powerful digital audio processor is designed to take the audio output from the original Ferrari factory stereo, re-equalise the sound to remove any adjustments that were programmed into the factory stereo to glaze over inefficiencies in the original equipment, and outputs a clean pure signal to the amplifier in the boot.

The Audison Bit One allows complete customisation and equalisation of the sound for the installer, so our technicians can adjust the sound including time delay to deliver the VERY best performance from your new audio upgrade system. From the users point of view, nothing has changed, as the stereo and volume are still controlled from the factory stereo as it were before.

From the processor, we move via high quality hi-fi cables to the amplifier. The Genesis Series 3 Dual Mono amplifier is hand built in the UK to exacting specification, and delivers home hi-fi quality amplification, with lots of power for an effortless sound. When a hi-fi system has power to spare ( often reffered to as headroom ), the music appears controlled and is not stressful or fatiguing to listen to, like an underpowered system would.

From the amplifier, we move again via hifi grade loudspeaker cable to the speakers in the doors. The component system chosen to compliment the rest of this Ferrari California audio upgrade system, are Morel Elate components.

Morel are a renowned home hi-fi manufacturer, and utlise unique and pioneered technology through all the products they manufacture. The Morel Elates represent some of the finest sound car speakers available, and make a perfect match to the rest of the system. Loud clear powerful sound, combine with a smooth hifi sound, enhancing any music genre.

You now have a proper hi-fi quality audio system, which looks completly factory fit inside the car.

Customers who have had this upgrade to their Ferrari California have reported back to us that the quality and volume are vastly improved, with much better defined and greater levels of bass depth. They have praised the installation and intrusive free integration, and how they have begun to enjoy their journies more now.

The cost for this Ferrari California audio upgrade is £4000, including all equipment, cabling, installation and professional setup, and can be booked in by calling our team on 01933 443277. All installation is covered by a no quibble lifetime gaurantee, giving you peace of mind, and all our installers are qualified to MESF standards, the highest in the industry.

Audiomotiv do offer bespoke custom installations if a clients requirements are more specific, which are priced according to each individual installation.

Call or visit us ( Directions can be found HERE ) , to finally have an audio system in your Ferrari California which is in keeping with the rest of the car. Alternativly please email us ( HERE ) , for questions booking or customised quotes.

Audiomotiv in Northamptonshire are proud to offer the very exclusive, and beautifully engineered V12 Engine table and V12 Engine wine rack.

It is rare that a piece of high end furniture comes along that can evoke such a feeling of heritage, patriotism and appreciation of engineering, however the V12 engine coffee table and wine rack exemplify these ideals completely.

Jaguar V12 engine wine rack

The V12 engine the table is constructed from is a brand new unused aluminium 6.0 litre V12 block from the British car manufacturer Jaguar, and enjoyed huge success and respect as one of the great British engine designs of our time.

Jaguar was formed in 1922, and has remained ever since a figure head of class and sophistication in automobiles. This very V12 engine was developed in the 50’s to continue Jaguars successes in motor-sport with the 24 Hour Le-Mans. However when Jaguar withdrew from racing, the newly developed V12 engine was put into service in the companies range of luxury and sporting cars.

An icon of the 60’s and 70’s , the Jaguar E-type is arguably one of the best known cars in the world, and featured the V12 engine that forms the basis of this V12 table and wine rack.

V12 engine Jaguar

The revised and enlarged 6.0 version of the V12 that is used to make each table debuted in the XJS Jaguar of 1992, and was Jaguars most powerful road engine at that time. Production ended in 1997, and with it went the history and heritage of this great V12.

Every part of the V12 table and V12 wine rack is precision engineered for the very best finish. Each block is brand new, not reconditioned, and the CNC machined legs and supports are turned from aluminium for a lifetime of enjoyment. The glass is type approved for your safety, and rubber pads underneath the aluminium legs protect flooring from damage when moved.

Jaguar V12 Engine table

Because each V12 table and V12 wine rack is custom made to order, we can also offer custom etching on the glass top for an individual touch to your table/ wine-rack. This adds the perfect finishing touch, allowing you to customise this wonderful piece of art for your home, office or wating room.

Playlists can also be selected from your Car stereo and Steering wheel buttons, ensuring a seamless iPod integration into your Volkswagen.

Keep your iPod fully charged at all times
 
As soon as you plug in your iPod, it will start charging. You can feel confident that when your journey has ended, you can removed your iPod from the VW interface, and have a charged iPod ready to continue your music experience on the move away from your car.

Full access to the controls on your ipod while connected

With many iPod integration systems, once the iPod is connected to the Volkswagen stereo, the controls on the iPod become inoperable. Unlike other kits, the iPod integration for VW from Audiomotiv doesnt lock out the iPod, instead giving you or your passenger control of the iPod from the iPod itself, as well as the stereo and steering controls. Your iPod album art will also be displayed, which is an added bonus !

Continue to use your existing CD changer

Whilst other iPod interfaces and adaptors force you to chose between the factory CD changer of your iPod, the Ipod interfaces from Audiomotiv for VW’s allow you to retain both. The unique “loop-through” function allows you to toggle between iPod or factory CD changer, giving you endless posibilities. This is not the case with most adaptors, as they integrate with the factory radio through the CD changer port.

The VW interface is compatible with all iPods, including the newest iPhones and iPods, and can be professionally fitted by our MESF qualified installers at our Workshop in Wellingborough, a 1o minute drive from Northampton.

Corsa Wall and build images CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE OR DOWNLOAD

In this article you will find images of a customers Vauxhall Corsa C, which Audiomotiv have walled. All the equipment is Rockford Fosgate, and was supplied by the owner from a previous build. Walling a car is where a sub box construction is built behind the seats, extending to the sides and top/bottom completly, forming a “wall” between the back of the car and the front.

The above image shows the completed wall, with seats set in the driving / listening position. The colour scheme, design and chrome accents were created to compliment the exterior of the car, which features well executed, clean modifications.

With the seat tilted forward, the above photo makes it a bit easier to show the cmplete wall build, with 4 RockFord Fosgate 15″ subs. The sub surrounds have been resprayed white, to better suit the car, and also because of cosmetic damage they recieved when fitted by the previous installer.

With the customers budget im mind, and wanting to keep the same “clean ” look of the car, the rear amplifier section was designed to look like a minimalist simple area. Underneath the amplifier in the spare wheel sits a huge sealed battery for power reinforcement.

The amplifiers were vinyl wrapped in white, again to compliment the overall design, and cover the damage they had sustained in the previous installation.

Whilst this Corsa wall build is kept clean and simple, it attracts a look of interest, and is expected to show high 140′s on Termlab, even with the very modest 1500w RMS the amplifier is delivering.
