Custom Car Audio: Steps to Getting That Great Sound

What’s it take to get the sound you expect out of your car audio install? Well, there’s a lot that goes into making your system create the right sound. Let’s look at some of the steps you should take to achieve the sound you want.

Before you buy
Before you make any car audio purchases, decide what it is you want to get out of it. Do you want a system that captures the sounds of your favorite band live or do you want your system to have a bottom end bass sound that will crack the pavement? Sound Wave Customs in Virginia Beach can help you decide what system is right for you and eliminate wasted expense on components you don’t need or want.

Do some Research
Look into which components will fit in your car like the size of the speaker and the openings for the factory-radio. Know what they cost and get some advice from the experts at Sound Wave Customs. They can help you price components that fit your car, deliver optimum sounds and won’t break the bank. If you’re looking for a bigger install, Sound Wave can also create custom sub enclosures to specs that match your unique flavor.

Don’t overdo it.
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re planning your project and shopping for your new system. Remember you can always add to or modify down the road. So, keeping it simple in the beginning is a safe bet. Keep in mind things like; how long do you plan to keep the car, what’s your budget and how much space will be taken up by your new system.

Get loud!!!
When you’re looking at audio systems don’t be afraid to crank it up. Play your music at your volume so you can see if it meets expectations. Make sure you do another test run after the install to see if you’re getting the kind of music experience you were hoping for.
