Tuning for the Perfect Ride: Cadillac XD5 Demo at the Florida International Audio Expo 2025

I had a blast at the 2025 Florida International Audio Expo, especially checking out the high-fidelity automotive setups. One standout was a 2023 Cadillac XD5 that combines factory looks with cutting-edge sound tech.

I chatted with Wayne Barron, a longtime IASCA competitor, who walked me through his installation. He detailed how dual 15-inch subwoofers, multiple ARC Audio amplifiers, and a PS Pro DSP system come together to deliver an incredibly balanced, audiophile-grade sound that looks like a factory install and feels as refined as a home system.

Taking a brief test listen, I was impressed by how the sound enveloped the cabin, making every track come through in high fidelity. It was clear that modern car audio is about precision and quality—not just raw power. Check out the video.
