Any recommendations for upgrading car audio system on the northshore or New Orleans/Baton Rouge? Bought my son a new GMC Sierra few months back and he asked me to get him a subwoofer for his upcoming birthday. I drove it today and the sound system really is “underwhelming.” He is in high school and I did the same thing back in my day. Did it myself then but playing with a $5k truck then is different than the new ones with all the computers etc. any help is appreciated

Prestige Audio & Marine on Causeway about 3-4 blocks south of W. Napoleon (near Rummel H.S.).

Ask for Corey.

I hope he enjoys it as much as high school me would have, would be money well spent.

I was in high school late 88-91. Had a killer system and helped install systems in a bunch of my friends cars. Fast forward to about 2016 and I bought my son a 1999 Dodge Ram Extended Cab 4x4. I immediately stripped the factory system and taught him how to install. That sucker would rattle windows for blocks. My wife was pissed. Ended up helping a bunch of his buddy’s hook up systems as well.

Prestige Audio

I've used a few different places over the years and Prestige is by far the best of them. It's worth the drive from the Northshore.

Corey put a system in my S-10 Blazer back in the 90’s when his shop was in Harahan.

He does good work.

Does it not have the Bose system, those have a sub built in.

No Bose system. It’s a base model pickup. I looked at the GM subwoofer and install seems pretty straightforward.
I was late 90’s teenager and some of my best memories were installing subs in our trucks! Riding with the seat all the way forward to have a little extra room for some huge speaker box. So dumb but it was awesome looking back!
Thanks for the suggestions

Yeah, this is what the world needs, another kid blasting trashy hip hop on the roads and at the gas station.
