JBL Car Audio PH successfully holds first Tunefest
As the year slowly comes to an end, JBL Car Audio Philippines successfully held its first-ever JBL Car Audio Tunefest, its flagship event for the year.
Held last November 11, 2023 at the O Square 2 Roof Deck Parking in Greenhills, San Juan City, the JBL Tunefest was created as an avenue for car audio enthusiasts and installers to come together, and showcase the best in-car JBL setups, and is inspired by glory days of weekend and late nights meets.
A highlight of the event was the JBL Car Audio Competition where participating JBL installers and car owners competed for the best audio setup. Categories included Stadium, Open Stage, Sound & Style, and a special category. Three other categories were also judged—People’s Choice Award, Mayor’s Choice Award, and Special Style Award. The full list of winners can be found below.
The night was not just for car audio enthusiasts and the competition as the event was also attended by multiple car clubs and industry personalities like B2B, MSC, SPMF, Grupo Toyota, Miata Club Of The Philippines, Nissan Kicks E-Power Club, FJ Cruiser Club Of The Philippines, Porsche owners, Buzzhype Motorsport, BanaweBoy, EverSince Street Club, and more.
Various automotive brands also showcased the latest from their respective lineups including BMW, BYD, Changan, Chery, Ford, GAC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, and Subaru, with each manufacturer highlighting its hero model of the season, from ICE vehicles to hybrid, to electric.
As an exclusive treat, attendees were also given the chance to listen to the first JBL ARENA setup that was installed by JC Car Audio into Franz Gaw’s Toyota GR Yaris. MSC also introduced its Porsche Cayenne off-road build, fitted with a full JBL ClubSQ system and the JBL Basspro Go portable subwoofer.
On-site professional-grade car cleaning was also provided by SONAX Philippines, with an exclusive event trial promotion of its new Ceramic Series product line. In addition, one set of a special full SUV wrap was sponsored by Vinyl Frog Philippines.
That surely was a Saturday to remember.
