SMS CAR AUDIO • MARRERO, LA • WHERE MUSIC MATTERS

What are you trying to build?

Clean factory upgrades. Sound-quality systems. Loud daily drivers. Serious bass. High-output and pro-audio builds. Jeep and motorcycle systems. Fabrication, electrical and Lit FX. Tell us how you want it to sound, look and work. We build from there.

We are not here to force every vehicle into the same recipe. The vehicle, the problem and the result decide the system.

One shop. A lot of different kinds of work.

Some customers want staging and detail. Some want bass that is the whole point. Some need a Jeep or bike that stays loud outside. Some need a bad factory system corrected. Some want a full custom show build. We solve for the target instead of treating one style of audio like the only right answer.

Goal first. Parts second.

If the system sounds bad, we want to know why before throwing more equipment at it. If you want more bass, we figure out how much bass and how much room you are willing to use. If you want it louder, we build for output. If you want staging and detail, we build for that.

If the vehicle needs integration, fabrication, electrical support or DSP to get there, we explain what that part is solving before you spend the money.

The whole build is connected.

1. Diagnose the weak link

Factory signal, speaker fitment, bad mounting, weak bass enclosure, low voltage or old installation work can all create different problems.

2. Plan the system

Speakers, amplification, DSP, bass, electrical, wiring, fabrication and future upgrades are planned together where the project requires them.

3. Build it for the vehicle

Mounting, service access, heat, vibration, seat/cargo requirements and factory functions all matter in the finished install.

4. Configure and tune it

Gain structure, crossovers, polarity, routing, electrical behavior and DSP tuning are finished after the physical system is right.

Tell us how you want it to sound and how you use the vehicle.

You do not need the finished parts list. Send the vehicle, the factory audio package if known, what is already installed, what you are unhappy with and what you want the finished system to do.
