Car Audio on the Northshore
Posted on 12/24/25 at 3:22 pm

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

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.

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.

Save the money and put it in a college fund. Good Lord.

Gotta have some fun. I loved it myself. More than 30 years ago when the boom - boom was on

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
