Factory Sound Upgrade

It’s the upgrade you can’t see, but will definitely hear! Many vehicles have head units (sometimes called receivers or decks) that are not designed to be replaced. Car Toys Factory Sound Upgrade packages enhance your sound with aftermarket amps, subs, and speakers that play nice with your stock head unit and don’t change the look or functionality of your dashboard.

Speakers

The cheapest and easiest upgrade you can get, new speakers provide clearer, crisper sound. Aftermarket speakers are also built to last longer and handle higher volumes than common factory speakers.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer, or sub, plays lower frequency sounds standard speakers can’t reproduce. This isn’t just for loud dance tracks; a sub brings richer, fuller sound to all types of music.

Amplifier

An amplifier, or amp, will increase the power to each speaker, thus producing louder audio. Amps are critical to getting the most out of aftermarket speakers and subwoofers.

Integration Harness

An integration harness seamlessly integrates into the electronics of the vehicle's stock entertainment system. This is imperative to retaining factory features and safety alerts.

Digital Signal Processor

Your sound, your way. A DSP allows you to tune your vehicle to your liking. Each DSP has its own equalization and crossover selections, allowing you to customize your audio experience.

Upgrade tiers

There are many ways to improve your factory sound. We’ve taken the guesswork out of it with the upgrade tiers below, which can be tailored to fit any vehicle.
