IRON TECH: KENWOOD DIRECT REPLACEMENT/APX INSTALL CHALLENGE

Hosted live by Dean and Fernando of Five Star Car Audio, Iron Tech is bringing real installer energy to the Master Tech stage.

Inspired by the intensity of Iron Chef, this live install showdown pits two teams of five elite installers against each other in a high-pressure APX Direct Replacement challenge.

Here’s the twist. The vehicles are the secret ingredients. Teams won’t know what they’re working on until the challenge begins. Once the kitchen opens, it’s all about prep, precision, and execution of bench planning, clean wiring, flawless Maestro flashing, and a final boot-up that proves it was done right.

The first team to plate a fully functional system takes home $500 in cumulative cash prizes, prize money powered by SiriusXM. The audience gets in on the action with interactive quiz rounds and chances to win free KENWOOD swag.

No canned demos.
No half-baked installs.
Just real installers under real pressure.

Iron Tech — where Direct Replacement isn’t just installed…
…it’s crafted.
