The staff at Adrenaline Autosound are impressed with the performance of the factory Cadillac stereo systems, but there is always room for more. General Motors has done an admirable job of ensuring that each passenger is treated to a stable and realistic soundstage. As always, better speakers, more power, and a subwoofer or two can transform the sound systems in these luxury vehicles into true recording studio-quality listening environments. Let’s talk about how we can make this happen.
Better Speakers
The speakers that GM uses in their Cadillac stereo systems are OK, but they are far from amazing. Upgrading to a speaker such as the Audiofrog GB series is like removing a blanket from between your ears and your music. Definition and clarity improve dramatically. Audiofrog speakers also happen to handle a lot of power, so you can crank your music to concert levels without fear of damage or excessive distortion.
Adding or Upgrading Subwoofers
Few factory audio systems truly offer impressive low-frequency reproduction. They may have a subwoofer or two, but none can match the performance of a quality aftermarket sub. We will work with you to develop a subwoofer upgrade that meets your performance goals while maintaining usable space in the cargo area.
Amplification Upgrades
Power, especially for subwoofers, is a fundamental part of an audio system upgrade. Clean power delivery at all listening levels is mandatory for making your music sound great. Our amplifier upgrades ensure you will get the performance you want from your system.
Sound Placement Matters
The goal of most modern audio systems is to recreate the musical performance out in front of the listener, just as though you are sitting in the front row at a concern. The accurate placement of instruments across the listening area is called staging. Cadillac uses a technology called an upmixer in combination with a center channel to achieve very good staging.
When we upgrade an audio system that includes an upmixer, we maintain this signal processing to ensure that instrument and performer placement remains excellent from all seating positions. We use digital signal processing to fine-tune the frequency response of each new speaker so your music sounds realistic and lifelike.
Expert Installation
As important as the components we choose to upgrade your sound system are, how we integrate those components into your vehicle plays a significant role in ensuring you hear your music the way you want. We are fanatical about where and how we mount equipment. We take the time to route wiring along factory channels for safe and efficient operation. We make sure every wire connection is both electrically and mechanically secure, and properly protected. Everything we install is completely serviceable. If you have to take your Cadillac to the dealer for work, our upgrades will never stand in the way.

Hi I have a 2015 Caddillac ATS with the 10 speaker Bose system I already installed a 12w7 subwoofer using a harness coming off the factory amp but I want to upgrade the front speakers. I have a set of 6.5 already but they need an amp which I will buy if you guys can install it. Will it mess up the other speakers if I upgrade just the front speakers? What do you recommend? Thanks
