Upgrading Your Car Sound System

Cruising around town with the windows down and your favorite tunes blasting is a guaranteed way to take things to an epic level. If you're looking to take your noise to a higher level, you need to make sure you have the car sound system in your car that's ready for the job. While many modern N Charlotte Toyota models come equipped with great sound and infotainment systems (some even with JBL enhanced speakers), there's always room for improvement if you look hard enough. If you're looking to take your jam sessions to the next level, check out this guide from Toyota of N Charlotte on how to upgrade your car sound system.

Turn Up the Volume with a New Sound System

Upgrading the sound system in your N Charlotte Toyota car is definitely an involved process and should be done carefully to avoid causing a wiring issue. Consulting professional help with this project is highly recommended, but you can begin the process on your own. Here are a few tips to help you get started with upgrading your car sound system:

1) Be Patient and Take the Process Slowly

Upgrading the sound system in your car is a full-time project that demands a considerable amount of patience to prevent a wiring issue from arising. Before you get started, realize that you can truly start anywhere when it comes to a project like this. But you should make sure to outline everything you'd like to accomplish with the project and choose a reasonable place to get started. Are you looking for better sound quality? Maybe a different head unit or infotainment system? Whatever the end goal is, make sure to keep it in mind and take your project one step at a time to ensure an easy process. 

2) Get a New Head-Unit/Receiver

If you're planning on replacing the speakers in your N Charlotte Toyota vehicle as part of your sound system upgrade plan, you may need to invest in a new head-unit. Not only will this likely give you better compatibility with your new car sound system, but, depending on what you buy, you could also benefit from having Bluetooth connectivity, integrated navigation, and satellite radio. 

3) Get New Speakers

If you're looking for a little more power behind the sound in your car, you're going to want to look into getting new speakers. Before puling the trigger on a new set, make sure to check the number of speakers in your N Charlotte Toyota car and how many of them you'd like to replace. To get the best experience over time, start by replacing the front speakers and gradually working your way back. 

4) Boost the Power

Adding new and more powerful speakers to your N Charlotte Toyota car sound system demands extra power from your battery and you need to make sure you have the resources necessary to prevent a battery drainage. Make sure to get an amplifier. These will help distribute power more efficiently and evenly to your speakers. Minimally, you should use a 4-channel amp to cover your front and back speakers. If you plan on adding new speakers over time, you may want to invest a 5 or more channel amp. 

5) Add a Subwoofer and Dedicated Amp

Adding a little bass to your N Charlotte Toyota car sound system never hurt anybody. A subwoofer is the perfect speaker to get your car shaking, but you need to make sure you're ready for it. Not only will it bring the shakes to your car, but subwoofers take up a lot of space so be prepared to give up a bit of trunk or back seat space. You'll also need to use a dedicated amp to enhance the power generated for it.
