Your Options for Upgrading Car Audio
When upgrading your vehicle's audio system, you have three distinct approaches to consider. At Carisma Customs, we'll help you evaluate factors like sound quality goals, desired features, budget and vehicle compatibility to find your perfect solution. Our team provides complete audio system installation to ensure everything is set up correctly for great sound.
Head Unit
A head unit upgrade alone can transform your listening experience by adding modern features like Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while improving sound quality through better digital processing.
Complete Audio System
For those seeking more significant audio improvements, a complete system overhaul delivers audiophile-grade sound by replacing factory speakers, adding powerful amplifiers and installing a modern head unit.
OEM Integration
As another option, OEM integration enhances your existing system with specialized components that work seamlessly with your factory equipment, preserving the original look while delivering better audio performance.
The 3 Types of Car Speakers
- Tweeters: For high-frequency sounds (2,000-20,000 Hz)
- Mid-range: For middle-range frequencies (250-2,000 Hz)
- Subwoofers: For the bassy, low-range frequencies (20-200 Hz)
Most cars come equipped with coaxial speakers, which have the full range of sound (tweeters, mid-ranges, and subwoofers) all built into the same unit. The advantage of these speakers is their affordability and easy setup, but they don’t produce the same sound quality you’d expect from a component speaker setup.
