Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

Car Audio Systems in Dublin
Two upgrades change how your car sounds: better speakers for clean detail, and a subwoofer for real bass. We fit both to factory standard — hidden wiring, no cut looms, tuned before you drive away.

Car audio explained
Why factory audio sounds flat
Car makers build speakers to a price: thin paper cones on a stamped frame, driven by a low-power head unit, in a door that was never designed as a speaker cabinet.
They play music — but vocals sit behind the dashboard, detail disappears at motorway speed, and turning it up only makes things worse. A proper upgrade fixes that in two directions: better speakers raise the ceiling above roughly 80 Hz — voices, guitars, the open top end — while a subwoofer fills in everything below it, the weight and pressure a 6.5" door speaker physically cannot produce.
You don't need a competition system. You need the right components for your car, wired properly and tuned so nothing fights anything else.
What we actually do
We check the vehicle first, recommend the smallest change that gets the result you want, and fit it with vehicle-specific adaptors — no cut wiring, no drilled panels, no rattles. You keep your radio, your steering wheel controls and your warranty.
Two upgrades
Pick the upgrade your car needs
Most drivers start with one and add the other later. Both are covered in full detail on their own page.
Car Speakers
Replace tired factory speakers with proper components — the first upgrade to make if music sounds dull, muffled or distorts when you turn it up.
- Front pair, rear pair or full four-corner upgrade
- Coaxial or component sets with separate tweeters
- Vehicle-specific adaptor rings — no cut door panels
- Works with your factory radio and steering controls

Car Subwoofers
Add the bottom end. Tidy under-seat active subs, or a boot enclosure with an amplifier when you want it to hit properly.
- Active under-seat subs — compact, hidden, no boot space lost
- Passive subwoofer plus amplifier for serious output
- Custom-built enclosures matched to your boot
- Crossover, gain and phase set for your car

Which one first?
If you only want to spend once, this is how to choose.
| Speaker upgrade | Subwoofer install | |
|---|---|---|
| Fixes | Dull vocals, harsh top end, distortion at volume | Thin sound with no weight or low end |
| Range | 80 Hz – 20 kHz | 20 Hz – 80 Hz |
| Fitting time | 2–3 hours | 3–6 hours |
| Best if | Music sounds muffled or breaks up loud | The sound is clean but flat and lifeless |

What's included
What you get with every install
The same six stages on every car audio job — whether it's one pair of speakers or a full system. In this order, every time.
01 / inspect
Vehicle check
We look at your current speakers, head unit, battery, wiring routes and panel access before quoting anything.
02 / match
Component match
Speaker size, sensitivity and power matched to your head unit or amp, so nothing is starved or over-driven.
03 / wire
Hidden cabling
Power and signal runs follow factory routes, fused correctly at the battery and hidden behind trim.
04 / integrate
Signal integration
RCA or high-level connection from your factory head unit for a stable, clean signal with no engine whine.
05 / mount
Secure mounting
Adaptor rings, foam sealing and proper fixings so nothing moves, buzzes or vibrates against the trim.
06 / tune
System tuning
Gains, crossover points and phase set by ear and by meter, then a listening test with you before you leave.
Installed properly, tuned properly
Speaker swaps are usually a same-day job. Subwoofers, amplifiers and custom builds need more wiring, setup and tuning — that's why the final quote depends on your car and equipment. Tell us what you drive and we'll give you a real number, not a guess.

Car Audio FAQ
Car audio questions, answered.
The questions drivers in Dublin ask us most about speakers, subwoofers and system upgrades.
Ask on WhatsAppShould I upgrade speakers or add a subwoofer first?
If the sound is dull, harsh or breaks up when you turn it up, start with speakers — they carry vocals, guitars and all the detail you actually listen to.
If the music already sounds clear but flat and thin, add a subwoofer. Most drivers who want the full result do speakers first and a sub second, because bass sounds better once the mids and highs are clean.
Can I upgrade my car audio and keep the factory radio?
Yes. In most modern cars we keep the original head unit and all steering wheel controls, and take a clean signal from it with a line output converter or a direct high-level connection. Nothing on your dashboard changes.
How long does a car audio installation take?
A front speaker pair takes 2–3 hours. An active under-seat subwoofer takes around 3 hours. A passive subwoofer with a separate amplifier takes 4–6 hours, and a full custom system is normally a one to two day job.
Will it damage my car or affect the warranty?
No. We use vehicle-specific adaptors and harnesses, never cut factory wiring, and route cables along factory paths. Every install is reversible and covered by our no-damage guarantee, so the car can be returned to standard whenever you want.
Do I need an amplifier?
Not always. Efficient speakers run well from a factory head unit, and active under-seat subwoofers have an amplifier built in. You need a separate amp when you fit a passive subwoofer, run component speakers hard, or want clean volume without distortion — we'll tell you honestly which side of that line your setup sits on.
Can you fit equipment I already bought?
Yes. Send us the model and your car details and we'll confirm it fits and quote for fitting only. We also stock speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers we trust if you'd rather we supply everything.
Do you cover all of Dublin?
Our workshop is at Rosemount Business Park, Dublin, and we work with drivers from across Dublin and the wider Leinster area. Book a slot and we'll have the car ready the same day for most jobs.
