About Us
Your Journey to Sound and Safety
At Car Audio Centre, we’ve been dedicated to transforming the way you experience sound on the road since 1992. Our story is one of growth, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to delivering the very best in car audio and road safety technology.
From Humble Beginnings
Our journey started in 1992 on a small market stall, where we offered a selection of electronic goods under the name “It’s a Gift Car Audio.” By 1996, we opened our first dedicated stall on Radford Road, driven by a clear vision: to make high-quality in-car audio accessible to everyone.
Building a Legacy
In 1999, thanks to growing customer support and our reputation for expertise, we moved into our own 2,000-square-foot store. It was here that we began to set new standards for car audio experiences.
During those early years, we recognised the demand for exceptional products and began importing some of the world’s leading car audio brands, including Lanzer, US Amps, Audiobahn, and Legacy.
A New Chapter
In 2001, we rebranded as Car Audio Centre—a name that reflected our ambition to become the first choice for drivers passionate about sound.
Throughout the 2000s, our footprint expanded rapidly, with locations opening in Belfast, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, Ilford, and Tooting.
Raising the Bar
Beyond installations, we built some of the most powerful SPL (Sound Pressure Level) and SQ (Sound Quality) systems in Europe, winning over 300 SPL competitions and earning a reputation as true innovators in the field.
The No-Nonsense Approach
What sets us apart is our straightforward philosophy. We believe in honest advice, transparent recommendations, and a commitment to helping you make the right choice—without sales pressure or confusion.
Sound and Safety in Harmony
Today, our product range goes beyond audio. We proudly offer advanced road safety solutions to help protect you, your passengers, and your livelihood. Whether you’re upgrading your sound system or investing in safety technology, you can count on Car Audio Centre to deliver quality and value.
A European Milestone
In 2025, we opened our European office and warehouse in Voerde, Germany. This expansion enables us to serve customers across Europe more efficiently, with faster delivery times and dedicated local support.
