OXNARD, CA (06.26.25) – Modus has once again demonstrated its ability to enhance and increase luxury vehicle sound systems with its 2024 Aston Martin DB12 install.

“World-class luxury vehicles such as the Aston Martin already come equipped with exceptional factory sound systems and optimal speaker placement,” said Jason Digos, Modus Senior Sales Trainer. “However, there are unique challenges that can limit overall performance. In a convertible with the top down, you lose significant bass and high-frequency output while battling road noise. These performance cockpits are also extremely compact, so low-end response often suffers due to space constraints that prevent proper subwoofer placement and powerful amplification.”

Modus turned to the team at Delta Concepts for this special project. To fabricate the in-floor subwoofer enclosure, Delta collaborated with Fat Fender Garage for 3D scanning and JT Torres from Automotive Entertainment for large-format 3D printing expertise to house a shallow 10-inch Modus Apex subwoofer. The team also integrated two Modus Apex Class A/B 750-watt 4-channel amplifiers and one 750-watt monoblock into the Aston Martin’s existing system. The result is a noticeable increase in power output and overall performance for what was already a high-end factory system.

“Class A/B amplifiers generate significant heat, especially in confined spaces,” Digos continued. “Our PeakCool thermal management technology features an innovative internal heat sink design that ensures optimal heat distribution while maintaining the superior sound quality Class A/B amplification delivers. Both amplifiers are engineered for exceptional energy management and premium sound quality, making them ideal for luxury vehicle applications. The result is dramatically enhanced audio performance that surpasses the original factory system.”

The vehicle will be used as a company demo vehicle at strategic events and locations throughout the year.
