Top Aftermarket Accessories for Your Truck and Its Audio System

Advance Your Truck Audio With Car Audio Installation and More at Stereo Depot

Owning a truck is never a dull experience. Your four-wheel-drive goes over anything. You can haul around furniture or other finds. And you can use your truck bed for gazing at the stars on date night. But you can make your truck even more useful and exciting by adding aftermarket accessories and car audio installation from Stereo Depot in San Diego and El Cajon.

Truck Audio and Other Accessories

A great way to personalize your truck and make it truly yours is to install aftermarket upgrades. The term “aftermarket” describes equipment that wasn’t created or used by the original manufacturer. Some people don’t like the term “aftermarket” because they associate it with poor quality. But at Stereo Depot, we carry auto accessories that we’d be proud to have installed on our own vehicles and extend a warranty to all our customers, so you never have to worry.

Installing customizations and truck-specific upgrades can help you revamp your ride and stand out from others on the road. Consider bed covers, truck audio components like truck speakers, wheels, rims, and more!

Truck Bed (Tonneau) Covers

There are several types of truck bed covers that provide you and your beloved truck with more privacy, security, and value.

A roll up tonneau cover is made of a soft, fabric material that rolls and unrolls when you need it. Access the truck bed by rolling the cover toward the cab. These are generally secured using a velcro and bar system and can be installed very quickly. It locks just under your tailgate.

Folding covers are very versatile and overall give you more protection for items in your truck bed. Folding covers can be used by simply folding the cover towards the truck’s cab, into a “pile.” These are more sturdy than roll-up tonneau covers, but also cost a little more, too.

A retractable cover is similar to a roll up cover, but it’s often more rugged and secure. Retractable covers can also sometimes be powered, giving you the option to control it with a remote.

A one-piece hard lid cover is the easiest to open and close compared to other cover options. It can either match or complement your truck’s body color.

Nerf Bars and Running Boards

Found on both sides of the vehicle, nerf bars and running boards make it easier to get in and out of your truck. So, what’s the difference between the two?

The surface of nerf bars are rounder and more narrow compared to running boards. They might be a good option if you’re looking for something more subtle. They are also preferable for off-road enthusiasts as they take up less room and are less likely to affect overall ground clearance.

Running boards offer a flatter and wider surface to place your foot. They usually go from wheel-to-wheel, giving you more room to step. Running boards are your best option if you want to maximize the surface area for stepping when you enter and exit your truck.

There is also a retractable and powered option if you want to be even more discreet. These higher-end powered bars can be tucked into the cab when not in use, providing your truck with a cleaner look.

Window Tinting in San Diego

Protect yourself and the interior of your truck from the sun’s harmful UV rays with professionally-installed window tinting. Tinting your truck’s windows can also supply you with more privacy, as it helps hide any valuable items you might keep in the truck’s cab.

Dyed film technology helps non-reflective window film achieve increased privacy, protection from UV rays, and moderated heat control. It is at the most affordable price point.

High-performance window film has the same benefits as non-reflective film, but instead features more advanced heat control using metallized technology.

Ceramic window films utilize nano-ceramic technology for a cooler, more comfortable ride, and won’t interfere with satellite radio or cell signal.

Truck Wheels and Rims

A simple way to make your ride stand out from the rest is to install aftermarket wheels and rims. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the design of your wheels.

Not only will they catch everyone’s attention, but they’ll also give you a safer ride and optimize the performance of your truck.

Turn Up Your Truck Speakers

Change your listening experience and upgrade your truck speakers with car audio installation.

Sometimes your truck’s audio system just isn’t enough, and its factory speakers don't execute all you’re looking for in a sound system. A new stereo system will improve your truck audio quality and let you listen to your favorite tunes like never before.

Once you’ve installed a new stereo, bring your truck audio system to its full potential by adding aftermarket speakers.

Truck speakers can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you can pick what works best with your personal car, including subwoofers, tweeters, and mid-ranges.

Whether you want to make small improvements to your current truck speakers or are looking to revitalize your entire audio system, Stereo Depot can help.

At Stereo Depot, we carry today’s most trusted truck audio brands on the market, like Alpine, Kenwood, and Pioneer.
