Who writes Shop Custom Auto

Chris Walker writes and edits Shop Custom Auto. His guides explain car stereos, speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers and cameras in plain English, built from manufacturer manuals, wiring documentation and product specifications, and they say clearly when a job belongs with a professional installer. Questions and corrections are welcome through the contact page.

What we cover

Choosing and fitting car stereos, speakers, amplifiers and subwoofers, wiring and tuning them, adding dash cams and backup cameras, and fixing the most common no-sound, noise and power problems.

How we write

Guides are researched from manufacturer manuals and wiring documentation, product specifications and reputable car audio references. We explain each step in plain language, list the tools and parts you need, and say clearly when a job is better left to a professional installer.
