2022 Lexus LS 500. Luxury for the Long Haul.

As we’ve said before, car shopping today is a challenge because of the lack of inventory. The local Volvo dealership I pass daily has more used vehicles of makes other than Volvo out front.

A Look at Intelligent Car Audio Speaker-Level Integration Interfaces

Not too long ago, we took a look at how speaker-level line output converters worked. We discussed the difference between passive and active devices and explained what features to look for.

A Close Look at Car Audio Line Output Converters

It seems like everything to do with car audio installations has something to do with managing voltages. For starters, your electrical system needs to produce enough voltage to keep your radio and amplifier going. And amplifiers need to increase the voltage to drive speakers.

Who’s the Typical Client for Your Local Car Stereo Shop?

In the ’80s and ’90s, the target demographic at a car stereo shop was men ages 18 to 24. Guys would work to upgrade their cars with subwoofers, pull-out CD players and lots of speakers in hopes of having the loudest audio systems in their group of friends. Not coincidentally, during that time magazines ran advertisements for products with outrageous cosmetics, promoted by Read more

2021 Toyota Venza: Hybrid All The Way Around

No doubt about it, the SUV craze is here to stay. When you have companies like Ford ditching all car-based vehicles except the Mustang, you know Americans like sitting up higher compared to a car. The Toyota Camry is still the best-selling car-based vehicle in the United States. But Toyota’s wildly popular RAV4 now even eclipses the sale of the Camry. So, Toyota wanted to Read more

2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport: The Sporty Lexus Sedan

The 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport is the tight little Lexus sedan. It might not have the cache of the 3-Series BMW, but when you consider what you get for the money, the Lexus should get a look, especially if you’re looking to own and not lease. The proven reliability of the brand, coupled with a Toyota V-6 engine, typically leads to vehicles that can go for over 300,000 miles. IS Read more

Are You Dealing with a Car Stereo Shop or an Automotive Accessory Store?

A decade ago, it was easy to improve the performance of a factory-installed audio system. The retailer you chose could add an amplifier, install new speakers or mount a subwoofer in the back of the vehicle. The process was simple, reliable and predictable in terms of delivering the desired gains in output and audio performance. As the OEM audio systems in modern vehicles have Read more
