JBL Professional solutions has provided the audio system for 1118 AutoSpa, a premier auto detailing and car wash facility, the largest indoor car wash in the Philippines, in Paranaque city.
The project was completed by Lyric Piano and Organ Corporation, which served as both the distributor and integrator of the installation. Each section of 1118 AutoSpa has been optimised with JBL’s audio technology.
In the car wash area, the choice of JBL Control 25-1 speakers proved to be a practical solution for managing the challenges posed by high humidity and constant exposure to water. Boasting IP-rated weather resistance and durability, these speakers are designed to deliver clear audio while withstanding the demanding environment. They are complemented by MTC-25WMG mounting hardware.
Meanwhile, in the paint protection film (PPF) and detailing section, the JBL Control 25-1 speakers also play a crucial role. The speakers’ compact design allowed them to integrate easily into the workspace.
In the lounge area, JBL Control 18 C/T ceiling speakers were chosen to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for customers. These speakers are designed to provide immersive sound and blend effortlessly the lounge’s interior design.
Andrian Lias, co-project lead of 1118 AutoSpa, said: “Installing sound systems in a car wash environment posed unique challenges. High humidity and water exposure required durable solutions. We chose JBL Control 25-1 speakers for their IP-rated weather resistant design and strategically placed them to minimise direct water exposure and extreme temperatures while maximising sound coverage.”
Mico Del Rosario, general manager of 1118 AutoSpa, added: “The integration of JBL products into our facility enhances the experience we aim to create for our clients. JBL stands for quality and durability – both essential in our car wash environment. With these systems in place, both our team and customers can enjoy the improved audio experience. We highly recommend JBL products to anyone looking for high quality sound system.”
Amar Subash, director, channel management and audio solutions, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC, concluded: “The integration of JBL Professional speakers at 1118 AutoSpa demonstrates how our technology can transform even a unique space like a car wash and detailing shop. By providing crystal-clear sound and unmatched durability, JBL solutions have elevated the customer experience while ensuring seamless operations for the 1118 AutoSpa team.”
