We take appointments Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM and are closed Sunday. Call or text to reserve a slot, then wait on site or drop the car and pick it up later. Customers drive up from San Diego for this bay, so Irvine is well inside the range we see every week.

Questions
Irvine questions we hear
Why should an Irvine driver go to Carson for car stereo installation?
Because a head unit is only as good as the harness, interface and dash kit it is installed with. We match all three to the vehicle, keep the wheel buttons and camera, and leave no loose splices behind the dash. The trip is about 27.0 miles and most installs finish the same day.
Does speaker replacement require a new head unit?
No. New door speakers on adapter rings work with the factory head unit and sound clearer immediately. If you want more volume without distortion, amplifier installation comes next, fed from the factory unit through a line converter. We will tell you which step your car needs first.
How is subwoofer installation done so nothing rattles?
The enclosure is strapped to the floor or the trunk wall, the amplifier is mounted on a solid surface, and the power and signal cables are routed under trim rather than left loose. Gains are set to the head unit so the sub plays clean. The trunk stays usable.
Can an Irvine Tesla owner get window tint on the same visit as audio work?
Tesla audio is mostly factory, but Tesla window tint is a regular job here: ceramic film shrunk to the single-piece rear glass and trimmed on the frameless doors. If you bring a second vehicle for audio, we can schedule both on one day with enough notice.
Does amplifier installation void anything on a leased car?
A properly installed amplifier is fully reversible: it is fused at the battery, grounded without drilling, and takes signal through a harness that unplugs. At lease end the system comes out and the factory wiring is untouched. Mention the lease when you book and we plan the install that way.
