High-Output Air Horn System for Anchorage Jeep Grand Cherokee

By

Air HornA client from here in Anchorage recently contacted the team at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security to inquire about having us install a high-output air horn system on his 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The system that the client wanted wasn’t the sort of thing you’d find at Walmart or an auto parts store. This HornBlasters Conductor’s Special kit includes a high-performance compressor and four hand-tuned Shocker XL horns that deliver real train-horn performance.

Grand Cherokee Air Horn System

The project started with us creating a mounting panel that fits into the storage area in the back of the Jeep. With a layer of black carpet in place for a neat and tidy look, we mounted the Viair 444C compressor and the two-gallon, six-port air tank to the panel. We plumbed the compressor into the tank and installed the pressure gauge to be visible from the rear of the vehicle. Using our CNC laser, our team fabricated a 2-inch acrylic plastic spacer that fits under the spare tire hold-down nut to secure everything in place.

The Viair compressor is rated for 100% duty cycle and can fill the tank back to full pressure in about one minute. The horn system has enough air to blast at full output for at least four seconds. That’s well more than enough to get anyone’s attention.

The horns and solenoid were secured underneath the vehicle.

Next, we set to work mounting the quartet of Shocker XL horns and the brass-body solenoid valve under the vehicle. The valve features a 16 mm orifice to ensure maximum airflow to the horns. The horns themselves are tucked up close to the floor and are aimed rearward so that they won’t fill with dirt, water, snow or slush. The solenoid is bolted securely to the truck’s floor, and all the wiring is protected from damage and moisture using automotive-grade cloth tape before being routed with existing wiring under the vehicle.

With everything installed, it was time to test the system. Of course, we warned everyone in the shop about our intentions before giving this the first blast. Sweet-mother-of-pearl, this system is insanely loud! Even with the bay doors closed, we bet they could hear us up the street at the gas station. Our apologies to our neighbors.

The client was absolutely thrilled with the installation and loved how loud the air horn system is. He was excited to get the truck back on the road and give his friends a demonstration.

Compustar Remote Start Upgrade for 2020 Jeep Cherokee

By

A new client who visited us because of a Groupon promotion we ran brought her 2020 Jeep Cherokee to our team to get a remote start system. She wanted to be able to start the vehicle from indoors during the winter, so we got to work installing one for her.

We selected a Compustar CS900 remote starter that gives her plenty of range to start her Cherokee from inside her home or workplace. The vehicle’s push-to-start ignition system still works the same way, and all the factory security and theft prevention systems remain intact and functional. Our technicians integrate everything so you never see anything than other the new remote controls.

For all your remote start upgrades, Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security has you covered. Stop by to see our team at the shop — we would love to customize your vehicle to fit your style.

A repeat client from Anchorage, AK, visited our shop recently, looking to upgrade the rear stock speakers in his 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. We custom-built and designed rear speaker plates and upgraded the speakers to 6.5″ Morel speakers. We used a laser that we have in the shop to engrave the Jeep logo into acrylic for a more-custom look.

The customer was so happy to pick up their vehicle and find that it sounded amazing.

Jeep Gladiator Gets Beautiful New Set of Fuel Maverick Wheels

A customer from Anchorage, AK, came in looking for some new shoes for their brand-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. With stock wheels and tires, there was a lack of expression. The customer wanted to size-up and achieve a more-custom look. We fitted their vehicle with some 18×12 Fuel Mavericks wrapped in 33-inch Toyo AT2s. The setup provided more bulk and a sleek, clean look to complement the glossy black exterior.

Compustar Remote Start Upgrade for 2020 Jeep Wrangler

By

At Perfectionist, we install autostarts on vehicles brought in by local dealerships nearly every day. Recently, one of the area dealerships brought us a brand-new 2020 Wrangler for a one-way remote start. We installed the Compustar G15, a one-way remote with a range of about 1,500 feet. “One-way” means that the customer would have to be within sight of the vehicle when auto starting it, because they won’t receive confirmation via the remote.

As always, we started the install with a check-in using an iPad, which includes taking photos of the exterior of the vehicle, checking all the functions of the vehicle and performing a battery test. We then put a battery charger on the vehicle with a fender cover to protect the vehicle’s paint from any scratches. Our techs then prep the wiring for install by soldering every connection, followed by electrical-taping them, and then using JK Tapes — a cloth tape similar to the tape used in factory — to clean up the install.
Once our job was completed, the dealership presented the vehicle to their customer. They were over the moon, knowing that they would now be able to stay warm all morning long while other vehicles remained frosted and cold under the snow. They can even remain cool and refreshed during those few sweltering summer months.
If you or anyone you know are looking to stay warm all winter (or cool all summer), stop by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security or contact us here and one of our experienced staff would be more than happy to assist you.
