Yes! Even premium factory systems can be improved. Systems such as Bang & Olufsen, Harman Kardon, Burmester, Bose, Dynaudio, Meridian, McIntosh, JBL, Infinity and Mark Levinson are often tuned for mass appeal rather than true high-fidelity performance. My car has Premium Factory Audio.
Common upgrade paths include:
– Adding a Focal subwoofer and monoblock amplifier for deeper, cleaner bass
– Installing Focal Inside plug-and-play speakers and subwoofers in BMW and Mercedes systems for dramatic clarity and bass improvement
– Creating a tailored Focal speaker and subwoofer package for other model cars with premium audio.
– Replacing the factory amplifier with an aftermarket amplifier/DSP, using vehicle-specific integration modules
With the right components and tuning, premium factory systems can be transformed into genuinely high-fidelity car audio systems. For tailored advice, contact Focal Australia or visit an Authorised Dealer.
