It’s a common question. And it involves making an additional investment in your car stereo purchase which can make a huge difference. So why should you add an external power amplifier to your car?

Let’s take a look at what a power amplifier actually does. Put simply, an amplifier takes the low level output from a source device (CD player, tuner or MP3 player) and brings its output level to a range that can drive speakers. This range, or power output, can vary depending on the size of the amplifier. Many car audio systems- both OEM and aftermarket- contain power amplifiers even though you might not know it. They can range from built-in amp stages that are actually inside the chassis of the radio to separate external amplifiers that can be located under a seat or in a rear side panel of the vehicle.

We recently were proud to announce that we were offering the full line of car audio from the legendary Rockford Fosgate.

I’m also proud to introduce the new Marine lineup from Rockford Fosgate.

1.)   Can I keep my stock head unit and still get great sound?

2.)   I want to keep the interior looking very stock…can you do that?

The answer to both of these questions is a great big yes, and in the design and execution of the system for my new Mustang GT we are going to do both.  I want to keep the Sync system in place both for looks and because I have learned to really like the voice commands.  As for the rest of the car; I just really want to keep a stock look.
