Audio Upgrades

Enhanced Comfort, Usability, and Sound Quality for Modern Classics.

As vehicles from the 1980s to early 2010s earn their place as modern and future classics, they also represent a pivotal era in the shift from analogue to digital audio and navigation systems. At Speedshop44, we specialise in upgrading outdated, underpowered, or worn factory audio setups - enhancing sound quality, driving comfort, and modern functionality, all while preserving your iconic vehicle’s original character and value:
