JL Audio Installation Tips: What You Need to Know
Whether you’re behind the wheel of a new ride or looking to invest in the longevity of your current daily driver, upgrading your car’s audio system is one of the best ways to enhance your experience behind the wheel. From rockin’ out all summer long to staying sane during our (seemingly) endless winters, Certified Radio has the aftermarket auto upgrade selection you need, including solutions from JL Audio Gear.
At Certified Radio, we’ve spent decades helping local drivers choose and install JL Audio gear. From cold-weather compatibility to custom installs that work with factory features, here’s your guide to finding the best solutions for your needs!
Start With Your Current Setup
Lots of people like to start by looking at parts for their dream setup–and while you absolutely can–the best way to set yourself up for success is to evaluate your existing system and go from there. For example, are you upgrading from a factory system or existing modification? What year is your vehicle?
Knowing what’s in your vehicle helps make it easier to figure out what JL Audio components will deliver the most noticeable upgrade. If you’re not sure what kind of system you’ve got going on…no worries! Certified Radio offers free in-store audio assessments, so you don’t have to guess. Our techs can help identify weak spots in your current setup and explain where you’ll get the most value—whether that’s a stealthy subwoofer install or a full-system overhaul.
Your Vehicle Type Matters
Not all upgrades are created equal! Those who use their truck for work, daily commuting, and play will have different needs than those who only hit the road to run errands or summer joy rides. Thankfully, JL Audio offers gear tailored to every vehicle type, including
- Trucks & SUVs: Arc boasts space-saving subwoofer options for enclosures that can fit behind or under seats without sacrificing output.
- Sedans benefit from component speakers and amps that integrate easily with factory locations.
- Sports cars can get their audio boost with compact, lightweight options for performance-focused drivers. View more options here!
Whether you drive a Ford F-150, a Ram 1500, or a Volkswagen GTI, Certified Radio will recommend gear that complements your ride without cluttering it.
Cold Weather Is No Joke
Let’s be honest, Edmonton winters are harsh. Sub-zero temperatures can be brutal on audio equipment, and choosing a solution that can handle the Alberta cold is essential for optimal performance and longevity. JL Audio amps, subs, and speakers are known for their durability and reliability in cold climates, which means you don’t have to worry about blown fuses or rattling plastic in -30°C. Instead, you’ll enjoy clear, consistent sound whether you’re blasting heat or defrosting your windshield!
Choose the Right JL Audio Components
JL Audio offers a wide selection for customers. From their W-series subwoofers (like the W1, W3, and W6) to full-range speakers and marine-rated gear, we can help you match the right model to your driving style and budget.
Some common upgrade paths for Edmonton drivers include:
- Bass-Only: Add a sub for tight, responsive low-end without replacing your whole system.
Pssst, subs do more than just boost your bass! Learn more here.
- Full System: Speakers, amps, and subwoofers for a completely immersive, concert-quality experience.
- OEM+ Integration: Upgrade sound while keeping your stock head unit, steering wheel controls, and backup cam intact.
