Summer is just around the corner. Road trip opportunities are on the rise. With the introduction of vaccines, summer may end up being a great season for avid drivers. That's why now is the perfect time to upgrade the audio in your vehicle.

Whether you like to explore the countryside by car, head to the cabin for the weekend, or enjoy listening to air-conditioned music, there's sure to be an audio upgrade for you. After all, summer is better with audio.

Read on to learn about the audio upgrades we recommend to make your vehicle the ultimate summer machine.

 

Why Great Audio Can Make or Break a Road Trip

First, let's talk about audio quality.

The sound quality of your audio system can deteriorate over time. This is especially likely to happen if your vehicle has been in use for a while. It's easy for people to get used to the sounds your vehicle makes because it's hard to notice a difference over time - however, people who are rarely in your vehicle will be able to hear the sounds your vehicle makes.

Now, let's talk about road trips.

A good road trip involves getting from point A to point B and is full of adventure. A great road trip appeals to all of your senses: you'll stop at exciting destinations, eat delicious food, and create a soundtrack that enhances the entire experience. Whether you make the ultimate road trip playlist or simply deliver auxiliary lines, you'll want your music to sound crisp and clear. Some crowds may prefer to listen to audiobooks or podcasts on road trips, and these formats require clear audio.

With the right audio system, the music you choose won't sound as good as it should - you'll get harsh, muffled audio instead of high-quality audio.

If you've been thinking about upgrading your audio system, then a road trip is the perfect excuse to do so. What better time to show off your new audio system?

 

 

Summer Audio Upgrades

New Car Audio/Entertainment System

Go big or go home! With a new stereo, your passengers will notice the new look and sound of your vehicle's audio experience. There are many different types of stereo components with varying sizes, materials, power and brands, and these features may affect the functionality of other audio equipment in your vehicle.

For this and all other upgrades, we recommend that you speak with a professional about what is best for your vehicle.

New Vehicle Speakers

New speakers offer a difference you can really hear. Think about your favorite song - and imagine hearing it as smoothly as possible. No scratches, no muffled sound. It sounds like a band or musician is playing a tune for you.

The New Amplifier

As the name suggests, an amplifier needs to be charged and "amplified" - in other words, it increases the power of the audio without sacrificing sound quality.

This upgrade comes in handy on hot days when you want to play music while your passenger sings (or dare we say screams) along to the lyrics.

New subwoofer

Music is complex - it's made up of several different parts that combine to create the music you hear. Some of these parts can be categorized based on how bassy they are - most notably, this includes the bass. You may not always notice the bass, but you will notice it if it is defective.

With poor sound quality, bass can sound rough and explosive - but with a subwoofer, you'll clearly hear the percussion of your music, producing excellent audio overall.

New Android Auto/Apple Car Play device

Android Auto and Apple Car Play make it easy to connect your Android phone, iPhone or tablet to your car's audio system. These are simple and convenient upgrades that unlock a world of endless possibilities beyond just playing your phone's music in the car.
