Installation parts available for over 15,000 Makes & Models!

There’s alot more that goes into a great car audio system than just the gear  (sub woofers, amplifiers, car radios, speakers, ETC). One of the most commonly overlooked components of a great car audio system is the installation parts  / hardware that connects it all together. Once you pick out a great amplifier, pair of  sub woofers and a nice set of speakers, you will still need amplifier installation kits, battery terminals, harnesses and dash kits to install all of these great car audio components. Alot of times these overlooked installation parts get skimped on and some people are tempted to cut corners to save a couple of bucks here. But frankly, it can cost you money in the long run.

We use only top of the line installation parts from makers like: Scosche, Metra, Rockford Fosgate, Stinger, JL Audio and many other fine manufactures. We also have some more budget friendly car audio installation parts for those who feel the cost savings is worth the reduced quality of their car audio system. And unlike our competitors, we have an assortment of parts / products in stock and we’ll be happy to show you the differences. We give our customer selection, value and service in even the overlooked car audio installation parts.

Amplifier Installation Kits (Amp Kits)- Your amplifier installation kit is probably one of the single most important installation parts

for your amplifier. It’s what allows the juice (electricity) to flow from your battery to your amplifier in order for it to produce quality sound. Not all amp kits are created

equal. Some are made from 100% OFC (Oxygen Free Copper this is the best for power flow), some are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum 40% less current carrying power than 100% OFC) and then there are the manufacturers that don’t tell you what they are made of (We call this mystery wire and how it compares to the other possibilities, well its a mystery but always significantly lower). Also, the size of the wire is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Undersized wire (or inferior wire) is the #1 CAUSE OF VEHICLE FIRES! Don’t try and run your brand new amplifier using a small cable, its the equivalent of trying to water your lawn with a straw…..JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA! But rest assured, our experts here at Alarms, ETC will get you into the right amp kit to ensure maximum performance out of your new amplifier!

RCA / Interconnects - RCA cables (or interconnects) are the second most important part of an amplifier installation and a crucial car audio Installation part. They provide the sound (or signal) for your amplifier and run from the radio (the source). Cheap / inferior RCA cables can not only fail prematurely, but they also: can reduce your sound output tremendously, cause a short / damage to your amplifier, car radio or audio components, cause annoying sounds in your audio system such as humming, squeeling, popping, hissing and the dreaded ALTERNATOR WHINE. We carry RCA Cables ranging from as little as $10 going up to a $299 each giving customers a variety of options. And you can be certain the installation technicians at Alarms, ETC can be certain to pick the best cable for your needs and budget.

Battery Terminals - Battery terminals are often yet another overlooked car audio installation part. They will not only improve the performance of your car audio system, but new  battery terminals will help prolong the life of a variety of your vehicles components (both aftermarket and factory). We carry battery terminals for all Applications and carry them in a variety of finishes with some nice features such as LED Volt meters built directly into the terminals. Let us help improve your audio system while improving your entire vehicles electrical system with an upgraded Battery Terminal.

Dash Kits - We have over 300 dash kits ranging from very basic plastic mounting kits to ornate vehicle integration bezels. Because of this variety we are also able to ensure you have the right parts to make your new car radio not only sound good, but look good. And not all dash kits are created equal either, some use inferior plastics and match the factory look / finish better than others. All of our radio installation kits are of the highest quality and will look GREAT in any application!

Wire Harnesses -  Wire harness adaptors are used so that your vehicles electrical system isn’t compromised. Alot of hacks or lesser quality shops will clip off your vehicles radio and speaker harnesses causing voided warranties and possible electrical shorts. We use precision made adaptors to allow us to install your new radio, speakers or other components without altering the electrical engineering of your vehicle. Bottom line is a harness isn’t an option, is a required installation part and we ALWAYS utilize the correct ones here at Alarms, ETC.

Sound Dampening Material - Most people have no concept / clue of the advantages of quality sound dampening materials. What a sound dampening material does is reduce the vibrations of the metal panels in your vehicle and help ensure that the sound from your stereo stays INSIDE your vehicle. Less sound outside the car = Higher / Louder sound inside the car. Less rattles / Vibrations = Better listening experience without rattling trunks or panels. We always recommend the use of sound dampening materials in EVERY vehicle, not
