01

Why a car is a difficult listening room

Your left ear is a foot from one speaker and four feet from the other, glass reflects treble, and seats absorb it. Without correction, the stage collapses to the nearest door. Tuning fixes that by delaying the closer speakers, shaping the response and setting crossovers so each driver only plays what it does well.

  • Stage that sits centred on the dash, not in your door
  • Bass that blends instead of thumping behind you
  • Harshness removed from vocals and cymbals
  • Consistent volume across every source

How we tune

We start with gain structure and crossovers set by measurement, not by ear. Then we run sweeps with a calibrated microphone at ear height in the driver seat, correct the response, and finish with listening tests using tracks you know. Bring your own playlist. The system should sound right with your music, not just with test tones.

Presets for how you actually drive

Most processors hold several presets. We usually build one for the driver seat, one balanced for the whole cabin when you have passengers, and one with a little extra low end for long highway drives. Switching takes a second on the screen.

Tuning an existing system

You do not need to buy anything from us to book a tune. If you already have gear installed and it has never sounded right, a session on the bench and in the car often reveals a wrong crossover point or a badly set gain that has been holding it back for years.
