Doing a LOT of Audiotec Fischer stuff these days. From $150 speakers to $10k+ high end systems, they've quickly become a favourite at the shop, and something that for a change, Ray and I BOTH like. We've currently got a V18DSP in the shop to be installed in the coming week. Come by the shop and ask us about DSP in your multi channel system.

By the way, this video barely grazes how impressive their subwoofer line up is. We've got an IK S10 shallow 10" subwoofer on the board right now in a super compact enclosure (5" deep outer dimensions) putting out more bass than a conventional 10 in a conventionally sized box on the same amplifier. Very impressive in super compact enclosures for hatchbacks, or as a front subwoofer application.

The weather is a bit inconsistent, but the season is definitely taking off. Come and say hello and see what we're up to before we're fully booked!

Speakers and subwoofers from Memphis Audio are in stock at Northern!

The Street reference are inexpensive factory replacement speakers that are a big improvement over original speakers, due to their high sensitivity and bright tweeter. They come in at a low budget, but they've really impressed us for the money.

The MB-M series subwoofers are killer performers, powerful subs that sound smooth and realistic when paired with a ported enclosure. Grilles available separately. Come have a listen to the one we've got on display!

This week in Northern Automotive Technologies

Today I installed a XAV-AX4000 Radio into a 2015 Audi Q5. Most shops will tell you they can't change the radio in this one. I can. You lose the MMI screen, but this car wasn't equipped with MMI so we didn't lose much, and gained wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto in the process, as well as great sound and a beautiful flush look.

The next pictures are a complete system I designed and installed into a brand new 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. These are Hex series amplifiers with their beautiful extruded aluminum heat sinks for that copper or rose gold finish installed into the storage compartments of the back seat backrest, one in each side. Handling mids and highs are the HX600.4 and the subs are taken care of via an HX800.1 for a total of 1400 RMS watts. The front doors have inside them the equally beautiful H65S Hex series components, with the rears handled by the Elite series coaxials. The subs are a pair of Elite series shallow 12"s sitting inside of a King Box LineX coated vehicle specific enclosure. The entire system is controlled by a by DSP.3S, which takes a microphone tuned profile to compensate for cabin gain, standing waves, Time alignment to the drivers ear, and also provides the OEM Bose amplifier with the feedback it needs in order not to report a problem and thus cause issues during play.

That GMC didn't have a whole lot more to take pictures of due to it looking completely like an original truck other than the sub box, so my apologies if it doesn't look like very much, but believe me, we have a very happy customer with the stunning sounding truck Bose couldn't deliver.

Reach me anytime if you need a stereo, Remote starter/security, Lighting, performance, diagnosis, even mechanical. If you want your car to have it, I'm your guy. Been doing this 20 years now and the season is heating up fast.

Or call the shop at 289-460-5120 for any questions.

Hey everybody!

Northern is picking up steam and we’re now searching for a part time receptionist to add to the team!

We’re growing, and our techs need to be able to stay working in the back instead of answering questions while people are waiting for their cars.

The right candidate will be a quick learner, friendly on the phone, will be able to answer some basic technical questions and price our more basic jobs accurately, and schedule appointments independently without creating conflicts. We would need you to do a little research on the products we sell to familiarize yourself with what we do and be able to explain why our packages are right for the customer when asked for an explanation.

If that’s something you think you could do, and you think you could add value to our team, we’d like to hear from you!

Please apply in store with a resume.

1033 Toy Avenue Unit #6 in Pickering
Right at Brock Rd and Bayly by the Tim Hortons.

Be advised also that we will be out of the shop until Thursday on remote jobs.
