Austin’s Authorized Boutique Audio Studio & Digital Integration
Engineering the "Silent Sanctuary." Beyond the standard install, we specialize in high-fidelity European acoustics and seamless EV integration.
"Blending 32 years of Master Tech legacy with 3D laser-scanning and CNC precision to engineer the future of high-fidelity automotive integration." Big Rob

Why settle for mass-market hardware when you can experience the nuance of hand-crafted European engineering?
Precision DSP Tuning: The Helix & Mosconi Advantage
Modern vehicles are computers on wheels. We don't just "plug in" speakers; we calibrate your cabin’s digital nervous system.
"Every vehicle interior has unique acoustic reflections. Using Helix Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and calibrated RTA microphones, we ensure the soundstage is perfectly centered on the driver, regardless of factory speaker placement." Big Rob ( Robert Gonzales )
High-efficiency, low-draw audio architecture designed for Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid.
Acoustic Shielding: The Foundation of High-Fidelity
Even the world’s best speakers can’t compete with I-35 road noise. Silence the cabin to hear the music.
"We utilize a three-stage approach: 3M Thermal Barrier to protect electronics, Butyl Damping to stop panel resonance, and Acoustic Foam to lower the noise floor by up to 10dB. We create the silence required for audiophile-grade sound." Big Rob

GARY Anders 3 reviews • 0 photos starstarstarstarstar Robert Gonzales is the very best stereo sound installer I have ever seen in this business. Robert has some very high tech equipment in this shop. 3D printing, Laser cutting table,C in C router , Peel 3D scanner, some very special audio adjustment tools and electric equipment for unbelievable sound balancing and true tone adjustments. If you need anything in the way of sound ,window tinting ,car alarms, remote hidden radar detectors you will never see in the vehicle. Very clean and solid installation of anything he does. Robert is a true craftsman takes pride in his workmanship. You will never know you car has been worked on. I have know Robert since 1994 I have had him install alarms stereo equipment window tint (warranty for life) nation wide. In several of my vehicles over these 31 years and never had a problem. Try to say that for any other business you have dealt with. Boat installations of sound equipment, special lighting depth finders, any boat electrical problems you have. Robert is especially good with all electronics and programming needs of equipment. Beautiful car wraps not a bubble or wrinkle on the car. You name it Robert can do it or know someone that can. He is a native Austin. You can bet he will be here next time you need him. Give Robert a call if you need anything at all. You will not regret that call. Gary Anders
Boutique Integration: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does Helix DSP tuning improve my factory audio system? Most luxury factory systems have "baked-in" EQ curves that limit performance. Our Master Techs utilize Helix Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to bypass these bottlenecks. Using calibrated RTA microphones, we perform precise time-alignment and 30-band EQ adjustments to ensure the soundstage is perfectly centered on the driver’s position, regardless of where the factory speakers are located. 2. Is boutique audio integration safe for Tesla and EV warranties? Absolutely. In our EV Precision Lab, we utilize high-efficiency, low-draw components from Mosconi and Helix specifically engineered for the 48V architecture of modern EVs. We use non-invasive integration harnesses (iDatalink Maestro/NAV-TV) that require no cutting of factory wiring, ensuring your upgrade is fully reversible and compliant with factory warranty standards. 3. What are the benefits of Blam and Brax speakers over mass-market brands? Standard retail speakers are mass-produced with budget materials. Boutique brands like Blam (France) and Brax (Germany) use hand-crafted components, carbon-fiber cones, and silk-dome tweeters. These materials offer significantly greater transparency and the ability to reproduce the subtle "live" nuance of a performance that standard brands simply cannot replicate. 4. Does a high-end sound system upgrade void my vehicle manufacturer warranty? No. At Sunshades, we follow professional integration standards that protect your vehicle. By utilizing vehicle-specific digital interfaces, we retain all OEM safety, chime, and infotainment features. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your warranty simply because you upgraded the audio, provided the installation is performed correctly—which is our specialty. 5. Why is acoustic damping required for a high-fidelity car audio build? The finest speakers in the world cannot overcome the road noise of I-35. We apply multi-layer Acoustic Shielding to lower the cabin’s noise floor by up to 10dB. This creates the "Silent Sanctuary" foundation, allowing you to hear the full dynamic range of your Mosconi or Blam system without interference from tire, wind, or engine noise. 6. Can I keep my factory dashboard screen while upgrading my audio? Yes. We specialize in OEM Integration. We keep your factory head unit and dashboard display fully functional while completely overhauling the audio signal path. By intercepting the signal digitally before it reaches the factory amplifiers, we deliver true audiophile performance through hidden boutique components that don't change the look of your interior.
3D Laser Scanning
We utilize Peel 3D Scanning technology to create a precise "Digital Twin" of your vehicle's interior. This allows us to reverse-engineer parts and design custom enclosures that follow factory contours with zero error.
CNC Precision Fabrication
Our in-house CNC Plotting and Cutting systems ensure that every mounting plate, bracket, and trim piece is cut to a tolerance of 0.001”. This results in a "factory-perfect" fit that hand-cutting cannot achieve.
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)
Using industry-grade Bambu Lab 3D Printing, we fabricate bespoke dashboard pods, radar mounts, and signal-safe camera housings in-house. We bridge the gap between aftermarket gear and OEM aesthetics.
Non-Destructive Integration
Acoustic RTA Calibration
Every build is engineered to be 100% Reversible. By utilizing vehicle-specific digital harnesses (iDatalink/NAV-TV), we integrate with your car’s digital nervous system without ever cutting a factory wire or compromising your warranty.
We are Austin’s specialists for Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. Our builds utilize ultra-low-draw Class-D amplification and fiber-optic signal paths to protect your EV's high-voltage electrical integrity and driving range.
We don't tune by ear alone. We use Real-Time Analyzers (RTA) and calibrated microphones to measure your cabin's acoustic response, ensuring your Helix DSP is tuned to eliminate reflections and center the soundstage.
