Car Audio Installation · Fabrication · DSP Tuning

Tell us what you want the system to do better. We’ll figure out what the vehicle needs.

Maybe the factory system falls flat when you turn it up. Maybe the bass is missing, the vocals are muddy, or the aftermarket gear you already bought never came together. Start with the result you want. SMS can match the equipment, installation, fabrication, factory integration, electrical support and DSP tuning to the vehicle so the whole system works toward the same goal.

How a project starts

Start with the vehicle and the goal—not a parts list.

Tell us what you drive, what is installed now, what has to keep working and what you want the finished system to do. From there we can recommend the right equipment and the amount of installation work the job actually needs.

  1. 01
    Tell us the vehicle

    Year, model, trim, factory audio package, current equipment, available space and anything in the vehicle that needs to keep working.

  2. 02
    Tell us what you want to improve

    Clarity, volume, bass, sound quality, appearance, cargo space, weather exposure, budget and whether you want to build the system all at once or in stages.

  3. 03
    We figure out what the system needs

    That may mean checking the factory signal, changing speaker locations, building the right subwoofer enclosure, matching amplifier channels and power, adding electrical support, fabricating mounting or tuning the system.

  4. 04
    Choose how much of the job you want SMS to handle

    Buy the equipment when the rest of the system is already figured out, or have SMS supply and complete the installation, fabrication, integration and tuning.

Choose what you want to improve

Start with the result you want to hear.

Each guide explains what makes that part of the system work, what commonly goes wrong and how the equipment and installation choices affect the finished result.

SMS services

Need one specific part of the job?

Use the guide when you want to understand what matters, shop products when the system is already planned, or send a service request when you want SMS to handle the work.

Factory signal and control

DSP & Factory Integration

Factory-signal testing, the correct interface or processor, channel setup and measured tuning built around the signal the vehicle actually provides.

Speakers and output

Speakers & Pro Audio

Daily-driver upgrades, sound-quality front stages, custom speaker integration and true high-output Pro Audio—with mounting, power, crossovers and setup matched to the job.

Bass

Subwoofers & Enclosures

Subwoofer selection, sealed and ported boxes, truck boxes, built-to-order enclosures and one-off fabrication designed around the vehicle and bass goal.

Power and reliability

Amplifiers & Electrical

Amplifier matching, power wiring, fusing, batteries, alternators, grounds, mounting, cooling and voltage support for the load the system actually creates.

Custom work

Fabrication, Acrylic & Lit FX

Vehicle scanning, CAD, 3D-printed and CNC-cut parts, amp racks, pods, panels, engraving, acrylic, lighting and finishing built to fit the vehicle.

Installation and setup

Installation, Testing & Setup

Fitment, wiring, mounting, factory-feature checks, system setup, tuning and final testing before the vehicle leaves.

Products, installation or complete build

Buy what you need or have SMS handle the work.

Built around the vehicle

Different vehicles change what works.

Cars and trucks, Jeeps, motorcycles, powersports vehicles and boats deal with different noise levels, weather, speaker locations, available space and charging capacity. Those differences change the equipment and installation.

Where Music Matters

Tell us the vehicle, what you hear now and what you want it to do better.

SMS can sell you the equipment, complete one part of the installation, or plan and build the entire system around the result you want.
