Back in the 1990s when Brian Gill was younger, he had built a sound quality competition car. With a deep love for music, as well as cars, competing in car audio was a natural fit. Now an adult with a career in the music industry working as a recording engineer, he鈥檚 successfully merged his hobby with his working life, and that鈥檚 allowed him to continue enjoying quality sound builds.
Gill鈥檚 most recent vehicle is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG you see here. Mercedes took care of all the performance and comfort he needed from the factory, so a Renntech tune is all he needed to be satisfied with the car鈥檚 power. The real allure of the CLA45 AMG for Gill was the location of the factory speakers, which he says allowed him to build the car and compete in the classes that he wanted.
With intentions from the beginning to build for sound quality, brands like Hybrid Audio and Zapco were employed to take the AMG鈥檚 sound system to the next level. 鈥淭he Hybrid speakers unveil a natural and effortless aspect to sound reproduction, while being able to keep up at all listening volumes,鈥� he explains. 鈥淶apco is a brand that has always strived for perfection in their amplifiers. The AP line is second to none not only in the quality but in the way they allow the space in the recording to come through.鈥�
