Car Audio in Upper Arlington, OH

Clean, premium car audio for Upper Arlington drivers: Helix DSP tuning, speakers, amps, subwoofers and CarPlay upgrades, backed by a lifetime installation warranty.

Car Audio for Upper Arlington Drivers

Upper Arlington drivers want their cars to stay clean and factory-looking inside, and we build systems that do exactly that. From a CarPlay upgrade to a full Helix system tuned for detail, we keep your dash and controls intact while making a big difference in sound on the drive down Riverside Drive or Tremont Road.

Our Powell shop is about 20 minutes north of Upper Arlington via Riverside Drive or OH-315. We've been installing car audio for UA families and enthusiasts since 1997.

What We Install

• Touchscreen head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from JVC and Kenwood
• Speaker upgrades for clearer highs and fuller mids
• Subwoofers and amplifiers for deep, clean bass
• Helix DSPs and factory system integration, so you can keep your stock radio and still get great sound
• Backup cameras and Momento dash cams, professionally hardwired
• CompuStar remote starters with DroneMobile smartphone control and security

Brands We Trust

After nearly 30 years of installs, these are the brands we stand behind:

• JVC and Kenwood: touchscreen head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Helix: premium amplifiers, speakers and DSPs, and the only DSP we install and tune
• AudioControl and Wavtech: amplifiers and subwoofers, plus AudioControl speakers for select vehicles
• Focal and T-Spec: premium speakers, plus wiring and install gear
• Memphis Car Audio: amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers
• JL Audio: amplifiers and subwoofers

Keep Your Factory Look or Go Full Custom

Not everyone wants to replace the factory radio, especially in newer vehicles with screens built into the dash. We can keep your stock head unit and add a Helix DSP, amplifiers, speakers and a subwoofer behind the scenes, so the car looks factory and sounds far better. Want more? We also build full custom systems from the ground up, tuned to the way you listen.

Backed by a Lifetime Installation Warranty

Every install we do comes with a lifetime warranty on installation, and every electronic product we sell carries its manufacturer warranty. If something we installed is not right, we will make it right.

Car Audio FAQs from Upper Arlington Drivers

Can I keep my factory radio and still get better sound?

Yes. We can add amplifiers, subwoofers and better speakers to most factory systems using a Helix DSP, so you keep the stock look, steering wheel controls and features while the sound gets dramatically better.

Can you add Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to my car?

In most vehicles, yes. We install JVC and Kenwood touchscreen head units with wireless or wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and we can usually keep your steering wheel controls and add a backup camera.

Can you install my system the same day?

Most installs are same-day service. Larger custom builds with amplifiers, subwoofers and Helix DSP tuning may need a little longer, and we'll give you a timeline when you book.

Do you tune the system after it's installed?

Yes. Every system with a Helix DSP gets tuned in the vehicle so it sounds right from the driver's seat, not just loud.

Do you serve all of Upper Arlington?

Yes. We work with drivers from the Lane Avenue area, Kingsdale, Tremont, Fishinger Road and neighborhoods across Upper Arlington, plus nearby Grandview Heights, Dublin and Hilliard.

Will my car still look factory after an audio upgrade?

Yes. We specialize in hidden installs: the Helix DSP and amplifiers go out of sight, and speakers fit factory locations so the interior looks untouched.
