General
Ride Sounds specializes in clean, reliable car audio upgrades—OEM integration, CarPlay/Android Auto screens, subwoofer + amplifier systems, DSP tuning, speaker upgrades, sound treatment, and electrical upgrades (Big 3, battery/alternator solutions) for performance builds.
Yes—OEM integration is a core focus. We aim to retain factory features like steering wheel controls, chimes, factory camera, Bluetooth, and vehicle settings wherever possible. If your car needs an interface module, we’ll quote it up front.
Yes. If you already have equipment, we can install it as long as it’s compatible and complete. We’ll confirm wiring needs, fitment, and integration parts before the appointment so there are no surprises.
It depends on the job and the vehicle. Simple CarPlay screen installs can be same-day, while full systems with amps, DSP, sound treatment, and fabrication can take 1–3+ days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after we review your build plan.
Absolutely. Loud and clean comes from proper power, tuning, and installation quality—gain structure, safe impedance, correct enclosure design, and DSP calibration. We build for output and control so it stays musical.
Booking and Appointments
Use the “Book Install” button, or call/text us. The fastest way is to send your year/make/model + what you want (CarPlay, speakers, sub, amp, DSP, cameras, remote start). We’ll confirm fitment and give you a clean quote.
Yes—appointments keep your install on schedule and ensure we have the right parts ready. Quick consultations can be handled by text/email, but installs require a booked time.
Please remove valuables, clear the trunk/cargo area if we’re doing amps/subs, and make sure the vehicle is accessible (wheel lock key, etc.). If your vehicle has aftermarket alarms or special wiring, tell us ahead of time.
Some services can be done mobile depending on the job and environment. Complex work (DSP tuning, full system wiring, fabrication) is typically best in-shop. We’ll tell you the best option when you describe the project.
Yes. If you want a full build plan, we can design the system around your goals (loud vs SQ, budget, trunk space, electrical limits) and pick gear that works together—then tune it correctly.
Pricing and Payment
Pricing depends on vehicle complexity, integration parts, wiring time, and whether fabrication/tuning is involved. We quote based on your exact vehicle + goals so you’re not paying “one-size-fits-all” pricing.
For scheduled installs—especially when ordering parts—we may require a deposit to reserve the appointment and secure equipment. The amount depends on the project scope.
We accept common electronic payment options and other standard methods. If you have a preferred method, ask when booking and we’ll confirm what works best for your install.
Often yes. We’ll check impedance, power handling, wiring condition, enclosure specs, and compatibility with your head unit/DSP. If something is unsafe or mismatched, we’ll recommend the clean fix.
Yes—common builds like “CarPlay + backup camera,” “Front stage + sub,” and “Full system + DSP” can be packaged for value. Tell us your goal and budget and we’ll build the right package.
Customer Support
Text/call us right away with your concern and a quick video if possible. Most issues are quick adjustments (settings, pairing, gain staging). If it needs inspection, we’ll schedule you fast and take care of it.
Yes—Ride Sounds stands behind workmanship. Product warranties vary by manufacturer, and we’ll help with the warranty process if a component fails under normal use.
Yes. We offer diagnostics and tuning services. We’ll verify wiring/signal integrity first, then set gains safely, align time/phase (where applicable), and tune EQ for clean output.
Not when it’s designed correctly. We size power/grounds, fusing, and electrical upgrades to match the amplifier load. If your build needs Big 3 wiring, an AGM/lithium solution, or alternator support, we’ll recommend it before problems happen.
Yes. We can diagnose noise, clipping, protection mode, weak bass, bad grounds, rattles, and integration issues. We’ll document what we find and fix it the right way—clean wiring, proper signal, safe power.
