CHOOSE YOUR SONY CAR STEREO CATEGORY
When searching for car audio products online, the choices are vast. So many options and brands to choose from… it can become discouraging. So when the team here at Sounds Good Stereo Nashville decided to offer a new brand like Sony Car Audio, the brand must meet certain criteria. First, reliability. The product is useless if it does not work like intended for our clients. Second, it must be easy to use and it needs to look great. Most of our clients are adults, not 17-year-old kids. So we need a brand built for adults who did not grow up playing on an iPhone since they were 5 years old. Another requirement, the product must be competitive in pricing and offer the features our clients want, like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, GPS Navigation, Bluetooth Hands-Free, etc. Last, the product must sound good. They need to have a certain level of sound quality components built in and they need to perform as intended. Once these criteria are met, you have our attention. Sony Car Audio met these with flying colors and as an added bonus offers a 3-year warranty on select GS series products. Interested in Sony Car Audio?

DOUBLE DIN RECEIVERS
In the world of double din stereos, you will find a sea of options from several manufacturers online. Some use flash and sharp edges on their design to draw people in and some offer a lot of features but lack the actual sound quality of its internals. The saying, if it’s too good to be true, it usually applies strongly to car audio products. With little regulation and sound quality being subjective, you need someone you can trust to guide you through all of the airwaves on choosing the best double din radio for you.
Here at Sounds Good Stereo, we take a simple approach when choosing a double din radio for our clients. First, it must have a certain level of sound quality. We are not interested in low price, terrible sounding radios with all the bells and whistles. Who wants tons of distortion when listening to their favorite song? We don’t, hence the name Sounds Good Stereo 🙂. So if you’re interested in a great double din radio for your ride, look no further than Sony Car Audio.
If you have been researching for a while on double din radios, I’m sure your brain is hurting trying to figure out what is the real difference between a $100 stereo and an $800 stereo. The differences are actually pretty clear, but it takes a certain level of experience to pick them apart.
One of the big differences in the price and what separates them is the screen quality. When you go up in price you will receive better screen resolution along with a capacitive touch screen rather than the old style resistive touch screen. The capacitive looks and feels just like the glass screen on your mobile phone. Pictures are clearer, your backup camera looks great and it’s easy to use on your daily commute. Another important quality is the pure sound quality that the unit delivers. While no specification will tell you as its subjective, we will say Sony Car Audio excels in every department when it comes to delivering a great double din radio.

One unique feature that Sony offers is the ability to pair multiple phones to one radio.

So your looking to upgrade your stereo in your vehicle? Depending on the vehicle, a Sony single din stereo might be the perfect solution. In the United States, you have two styles of radios in the aftermarket. You have a single din stereo and a double din stereo. The main difference is simply size. Most of the older vehicles utilize single din chassis and most newer vehicles provide you the option for a single or double din based on your preference.
So your vehicle utilizes a single din slot and you need a replacement? If so, let’s talk about the main reasons to upgrade. First, sound quality. Traditional stereos in older vehicles really lack power and sound quality from the factory. In most cases, replacing the radio will provide you with better sound and performance. The second reason to upgrade your stereo is the features. Let’s face it, most people are not riding around with CD book collections anymore. Most clients prefer Bluetooth streaming from their mobile phone or thumb drives loaded with their favorite music. The Sony car stereo radios offer both of these features and more. Still listen to CDs? No problem, the Sony single din stereos have one of the best cd player systems on the market.
With Sony single din stereos starting off at $79 and up, you can finally enjoy all of the latest features and improve the sound quality of your audio system without breaking the bank. Interested?

SPEAKERS
For years the brand Sony resonates with high-quality electronics and gaming consoles like the PlayStation. In the car audio market, the brand name always resonated with replacement radios. But in the past few years, Sony has emerged with an additional focus on their speaker and amplifier lineup including an all-new 3-way component kit.
The Sony speakers offer some great features that we love such as bi-amp capable crossovers (multiple amplifier channels to drive the speakers) compared to most kits which are limited to one channel per side, which again is not terrible it just limits the ability to tune the audio system to its maximum capabilities. This small change allows us to introduce Sony speakers to our clients and deliver better sound quality at entry level price points.
Depending on your level of car audio experience and budget, the Sony speakers might be a great fit. We are always looking for the balance of sound quality vs price. While most entry level speakers sound like cheap speakers, the Sony GS series speakers actually impressed us. For the money, it’s really hard to find something special and most of the time we steer clear of entry level speakers. Clients who shop with us want better sound, not marketing hype. So when we tell our clients that XYZ speaker is a good fit, we mean it.
One of the most interesting facts outside of the sound quality of the speakers are the wiring configurations. The GS series components are bi-amp capable which means we can utilize multiple channels into the crossover and allow us the ability to refine the audio tune. This simple option creates more value for these speakers and after working with them for many years, might be the perfect fit for your application and budget.

SUBWOOFERS
When it comes to car audio subwoofers, the team at Sony Car Stereo keeps it simple. A total of three models and two of them being 12″ subwoofers. Available in a single 4ohm or dual 4ohm configuration, the 12″ subwoofer for Sony is a great option for those that want to add bass to their vehicle without spending a fortune.
Their moderate power handling along with the well-built construction make this a great addition to the Sony Car Stereo lineup. The materials such as the MRC Honeycomb cone material provide powerful bass along with minimal distortion, all at a price under $149.
When choosing a subwoofer, the first step is to find the amount of airspace you have for the enclosure. Just take the measurements minus the wood and calculate the area. This simple step can determine which subwoofer works best for your application along with choosing the right sub for your enclosure. While most companies will tell you that a particular subwoofer will work in ported or sealed, the truth is most subwoofers prefer one or the other. The 12″ subwoofer from Sony will work in either. With an EBP rating of 47, it hovers right where it needs to be for ported and sealed. The 10″ Sony GS subwoofer is a different story. With an EPB rating of a 92, this subwoofer really needs a ported enclosure to shine.
So before you can choose a subwoofer, you really need to do a little homework or contact our team so we can guide you in the right direction. If you already know your airspace and the Sony GS subwoofers fit the bill, then for the money they will provide you amazing performance with really good sound quality that’s hard to find at these price points

AMPLIFIERS
Electronics and Sony go hand in hand. For many years, Sony has been the leader in consumer electronics around the world and their car audio division is no different. If you compare Sony car audio to other brands at the same price point, Sony will come out ahead. The attention to detail, small compact chassis and focus on efficiency make the Sony amplifiers a great choice to upgrade your audio system.
If you talk sound quality, you must mention a digital sound processor. While most audio system packages might not have the budget for a separate DSP, the team at Sony Car Stereo decided to add one into their amplifier. This opens up an entirely new window for entry level based audio systems with advanced tuning capabilities.
The amplifier of any audio system is considered the heart. While most of the time it’s not visible, it can make or break a great audio system design. We understand not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on a car audio system and that’s ok, in most cases a properly tuned audio system with quality components will yield great results.
When you talk about Sony Car Stereo amplifiers, you will notice they offer several important factors that make them a great entry level amplifier. They offer great power to size ratio which makes them easy to install in tight locations. Also, they offer a 6/5 channel amplifier with a built-in digital sound processor. This additional feature provides the ability to tweak and tune the audio system to match the vehicle acoustics along with the capabilities of the equipment. Think of it as tuning your engine to your car for better performance or gas mileage, but for audio. Overall, the Sony amplifiers will stand out of the crowd for quality and performance against any amplifier in the same price range. Try one and you will be impressed for many years down the road.
