Love of music and a driving, booming, enthusiasm for quality sound and top customer service led by owner Ashley Burrell<\/strong> has turned Abtec<\/strong> into a automotive and home audio hit\u00a0 with customers.<\/p>\n

Sounds Alive<\/strong> is the theme of Abtec<\/strong> who have been in the business for more than 20 years and know their speakers. For the past two years they have been located in their own purpose-fitted building on the corner of Hutt Road and Riddlers Crescent in Lower Hutt.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood music relies on quality speakers to make it come alive and everyone has a different ear for what they like, whether warm, sharp edged, or sparkling with lots of gain,\u201d says Ashley<\/strong>. \u201cWe have sourced speakers with the widest range of sounds and decibel ratings from around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is one of the most experienced in New Zealand\u00a0 – we know audio and the speakers that can deliver what the customer expects because no two speakers are the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe modern push for mobile devices with tiny speakers have placed emphasis on sourcing and playing the music, but the real pleasure of music is in the speakers – that is where the quality comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Abtec<\/strong> are experts at installing speakers in cars ranging from the mid-level quality range right up to 21 inch woofers pushing out a 155db sound that is louder than a 747 aircraft taking off.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a lot of sound in a small space,\u201d says Ashley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Abtec<\/strong> have fitted out their staff cars, which are all different in shape and size,with the best audio equipment money can buy as demonstrators for customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide a listening experience within the vehicle itself over a full range of options from the powerful to the sedate,\u201d says Ashley<\/strong>, a father of four children who admits his love for music means he spends a lot of time glued to the business.<\/p>\n

His wife Narelle<\/strong> works alongside him managing the accounts along with brother Darryl<\/strong> who has the deft touch of a maestro in installations and balancing the interior sound of the speakers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a strong team and that\u2019s what makes it work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

A strong Eagles fan but willing to take Narelle<\/strong> to a Justin Timberlake concert in Auckland, Ashley<\/strong> has set up his building with its own sound theatre where customers can sit back and listen to the speakers they are going to buy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work hard at helping customers make the right choice for audio in their car and their home,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Abtec<\/strong> also provides a full range of car alarm units, and various automotive systems.<\/p>\n

A specialist function is the installation of new sound and communications units in imported cars and sensors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbtec<\/strong> has come a long way since Darryl<\/strong> and I first started touting for business at home shows with a little Datsun 180b kitted out with the latest audio equipment,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Abtec<\/strong> also provides an online service at www.abtec.co.nz<\/a> backed with a full New Zealand warranty and a speaker repair centre at the Abtec<\/strong> installation centre.<\/p>\n
