The Risks of DIY Car Audio and You Should Seek Professional Help

Mar. 22, 2022


As a car owner, you spend a lot of time in the driver's seat of your vehicle. Most drivers want the best out of their audio system for your car, and an upgrade is the way to make that happen. Many car owners seek professional help in installing audio stereo upgrades, but some do it themselves. Do-it-yourself car upgrades can lead to disaster if not executed correctly.


Upgrading the audio system

If you've purchased a new car, chances are it comes with a stereo. A regular stereo can make your car more enjoyable to drive, but an upgrade can take your audio system to the next level.

The following are some of the most common car upgrades.

More powerful speakers that can play louder without sacrificing sound quality

Amplifiers, which can further improve the sound clarity of premium speakers

Subwoofers, which can produce low-frequency sounds, such as heavy bass music

Bluetooth compatibility, added to older models through upgrades

DIY can be risky

You may have to try to make your own upgrades to your vehicle's audio system. Maybe you like similar DIY projects, or maybe you've heard from a friend that an at-home upgrade is easier and cheaper.


Safety is key

If you're not professionally trained to install complex electrical equipment, you could seriously injure yourself. It's always important to consider electrical safety when working with heavy machinery and electronic equipment. Electric shock, electrocution and burns are some examples of injuries that can be serious or even fatal.


Audio equipment is complicated

Installing audio equipment is not as simple as plugging something into an outlet. Audio equipment and modern cars are extremely complex, which is why most people will turn to an expert. There are so many components that work together - frequencies, wiring, voltages, etc. - that these are often too complex and the equipment is quite sensitive, and one small mistake can ruin the entire project.

The cost can be higher

Many people believe that doing the upgrade themselves is a cheaper option than relying on the services of an audio technician. This is rarely the case. Most audio upgrades require specific, high-quality tools that can be very expensive.


Android Auto and Apple CarPlay 

Apple CarPlay and Android auto are modern features (hardware and software) designed for safer, smarter driving. With it, you don't have to push any buttons or do anything that takes away from your focus, and you can still focus on the road while using it. Basically, by connecting your phone to the car, you can use the voice recognition system and communicate with Siri or Google Assitant. While you're driving, you can use the Assitant to let it know what you need, whether it's to open a map, change a song, make a call, etc.

While most car manufacturers now offer this feature in most of their models, there are still some trims that don't include it. However, both can be installed as long as you have a large touch screen in your car. If you don't have that and own an older car, there are still ways to get the luxury of having an assistant.
