THE CARS IN FURTHER DETAIL:
Toyota's popular Mark X is probably the most sought after model by executives that do not want to spend silly money on continental imports. This car is decked out like there is no tomorrow, with its amount of audio equipment level putting a home theatre to shame, for the surround system tuning is done to replicate real cinematic sounds standards. In terms of delivering the sound, this car is truly amazing for it is just like having a Dolby Stereo surround sound on wheels. The whole setup is so intricate; it makes you feel like you are piloting Starfleet's Enterprise. I'm not sure how much was spent but I'm sure it's delivering sonic and visual pleasure to the owner.
The Lexus RX300 and Toyota Harrier have
always been a perennial favourite amongst
SUV buyers who seek both comfort and class
in a utility vehicle. With the luxuriant qualities
imbued in this SUV, owners of this car are
ones that most often appreciate the finer
things in life, and having a high end car audio
system happens to be one of those. This fine
example is an exquisite example with excellent
workmanship. Much work has been done in
the detailing of the audio installation and the
quality is simply beautiful, especially the boot
area which is stylish and futuristic looking. The
seamless integration of this system shows
no traces of bad workmanship and is truly a
work of art. Listening to the music from the
system, the clarity of the car's audio is simply
soothing and melodious, with no distortion
that jars the ears. In fact, the sound system
performed just like the car, practical usability
combined with classy aestheticism, giving me
an absolutely rock solid performance with the
sealed up woofer churning out the low notes
with absolute clarity.
The Toyota Mark X is a highly popular sedan in Singapore, featuring a rear wheel drive platform along with a stylish exterior well loved by executives. Not contented with having just looks and reliable performance, the owner decided to spruce up his car’s audio system for greater aural pleasure via an excellent audio installation that combines aesthetics with great sounding music. Sitting in the car,
I was immediately transported into a surreal world which I call audio paradise; the music that was playing from the car’s audio system was an euphony as my ears were treated to a symphonic presentation of sweet sounding melodies that greatly pleased my eardrums. When I got out of the car to inspect the boot, my eyes were also treated to a visual feast, for the audio components located in the rear was neatly arranged with the installation clean and precise. The installation was further enhanced with blue light glowing all around in a soft hue which indeed is a sight to behold.
