Mazda Demio Gets a Premium Sound Upgrade with Alpine Halo9 and SWE-815 Subwoofer
At Stephanis Audio, we are always excited to work on custom car audio installations that bring exceptional sound quality to our customers. Recently, we had the pleasure of upgrading a Mazda Demio with two of Alpine’s most advanced products: the Alpine Halo9 iLX-F905D Head Unit and the SWE-815 8” Amplified Subwoofer Box. This combination creates an immersive in-car audio experience, delivering top-notch sound while maximizing space efficiency.
Alpine Halo9 iLX-F905D: Revolutionizing the Dashboard
The Alpine Halo9 is our most popular head unit, and it’s easy to see why. This second-generation model from Alpine’s world-renowned Halo series features a 9-inch high-resolution WXGA touch-screen, offering a sharp and clear display that integrates beautifully into your vehicle. Designed to fit in both 1DIN and 2DIN installation docks, the Halo9’s ultra-slim design makes it appear as though it’s floating above the dashboard, adding a sleek, modern touch to the vehicle’s interior.
With wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto compatibility, this head unit ensures seamless smartphone integration, allowing for effortless access to your favorite apps, navigation, and music. The DAB+ digital radio ensures crystal-clear reception for your favorite stations, while USB video playback and Hi-Res Audio playback take your entertainment to the next level. Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming further enhance the driving experience by providing safe, hands-free access to calls and music.
The Halo9 doesn’t just look great—it sounds great too. The built-in Class-D amplifier is the world’s first of its kind in a head unit, delivering powerful, clean audio output. With a wide array of professional sound tuning functions, such as 2-way crossovers, a parametric EQ, and digital time correction, this system allows for detailed customization, ensuring that the sound quality is perfectly suited to your personal preferences.
Alpine SWE-815 8” Amplified Subwoofer Box: Deep Bass, Compact Design
To complement the exceptional sound capabilities of the Alpine Halo9, we also installed the Alpine SWE-815 8” Amplified Subwoofer Box in the Mazda Demio. The SWE-815 is a perfect choice for those looking to add deep, powerful bass without taking up too much space. Its 8” (20 cm) subwoofer is paired with a built-in 150W amplifier, delivering robust low-end frequencies that truly enhance the overall listening experience.
One of the standout features of the SWE-815 is its wired remote control, which allows for easy adjustments to the subwoofer’s level, phase, and low-pass frequency (50-125Hz @-12dB/oct). This customization ensures the bass integrates seamlessly with the rest of the sound system. Additionally, the SWE-815 includes a port plug, giving the option to choose between sealed or vented operation, depending on your desired sound output.
Perfect Sound, Perfect Fit
This combination of the Alpine Halo9 and the SWE-815 subwoofer box is the perfect solution for those seeking high-quality sound in a compact, easy-to-install package. The slim profile of the Halo9 paired with the efficient design of the SWE-815 makes for a flawless upgrade that doesn’t compromise on space or sound quality.
Our customer in the Mazda Demio is thrilled with the results, and we are confident that this installation will provide them with years of premium sound enjoyment. If you’re looking to elevate your car’s audio system, the Alpine Halo9 and SWE-815 are an unbeatable combination.
