What we do
Each service is quoted after a consultation — because the right answer depends on your vehicle, not on a package.
DSP Tuning & Calibration
DSP tuning corrects the problems a car's cabin creates. A digital signal processor lets an installer set level, crossover points, equalisation and…

Why car audio is a different problem
Car audio is fraught with many challenges compared to the comforts of home audio. Resonances and vibrations, standing waves of low frequencies in compact small volumes, and ambient noise from the engine room and surrounding environment are just a few of them.
Unlike home audio — where correct height, symmetric positions and equidistant path lengths for the right and left speakers are achievable — a car compromises every one of those parameters, which affects staging, resolution and optimal coverage.
These challenges require a solid understanding of sound, applied acoustics and electronic equalisation techniques, ranging from simple equalisation to parametric equalisation to DSP-based correction, including time-related alignment.
Excellence and value
Excellence with prudent spending is a matter of knowing where your investment in car audio should go — and where it should not. Myths and traditional approaches that have not evolved will cost you money for non-optimal solutions. Understanding the most critical areas of sound reproduction points to the right product segments, and the right choice of brands within them.
High end, redefined
High-end car audio means reproducing the nuances of music at every level of resolution and staging, reliably. That runs from sourcing components — including the choice of digital-to-analogue conversion, amplification and speaker segments — through to a logical approach to integration and meticulous calibration.
Verified competition results
Tuning quality is difficult to claim and easy to demonstrate. Autoplanet's work has been evaluated by independent EMMA judges.
- 1st place — Expert UnlimitedEMMA Bangalore 2025
- 1st place — Expert LimitedEMMA Bangalore 2025
- 3rd place — Master OEMEMMA Bangalore 2025
EMMA (European Mobile Media Association) runs judged car audio competitions with defined categories and scoring criteria. Audiotec Fischer publicly credited the team's Expert Unlimited win at EMMA BLR Underground 2025. We cite the specific event, category and year rather than a general claim.
How the consultation works
Tell us about the car and how you listen
Message or call us with your vehicle and what you are trying to achieve. We will tell you honestly whether it is something we are the right studio for.
Visit the studio
We inspect the vehicle, discuss the options and explain the trade-offs. Where relevant, you hear a demonstration vehicle rather than reading a specification sheet.
Receive a scoped quote
Pricing follows the consultation, because scope depends on your car and your priorities. You get the reasoning behind the recommendation, not just a figure.
The work, then a follow-up
Installation to the agreed plan, calibration by measurement, and a follow-up session once you have lived with the result.
Work from the studio
Real vehicles, real installations. Door treatment, amplifier and processor mounting, and cabins put back together so the work reads as part of the car.
What people say
Karthik is an amazing person, a no-nonsense straightforward guy. He is like an encyclopedia for sound; his eye for detail and knowledge of sound is simply superb. Based on your budget you can select the range of speakers, subs and amplifiers. Karthik will certainly explain the pros and cons of all the varieties that are available with Autoplanet. It has been more than a month now since the installation was done. I truly enjoy the music quality that is played in my car.— Vijaypraveen Raj
Brands we work with
Brands stocked and worked with at the studio; availability varies. We do not claim authorised-dealer or certified-installer status for any brand unless we can show you the documentation.
Those are the logos you will see in the studio. The full brand list runs to 37 names across speakers, amplification, processing, cabling, damping, fuses and lighting.

Where is Autoplanet located in Bengaluru?
Autoplanet is at Shop No. 703/4, 3rd Block, Behind Koramangala BDA Complex, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560034 — behind the Koramangala BDA Complex in 3rd Block. We are open Tuesday to Sunday, 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and closed on Monday. Call +91 96325 97502 or message us on WhatsApp before visiting so we can make sure the right person and, if relevant, a demonstration vehicle are available.
Can I hear a car audio system before buying one?
Yes. Demonstration vehicles at the Koramangala studio let you listen to configured systems and compare approaches before committing to anything. This matters more in car audio than in almost any other purchase, because specifications tell you very little about how a system will sound in a cabin. Availability varies, so call ahead.
How much does a car audio system or PPF job cost?
We do not publish prices, and we would be misleading you if we did. Every system and every protection package is specific to the vehicle, the scope and what we find at inspection — a figure without a specification attached is meaningless. Pricing is shared during consultation, once we know exactly what your car needs and what you want from it.
What makes Autoplanet different from other car audio shops in Bangalore?
Three things you can verify. The tuning is competition-evaluated: the team placed 1st in Expert Unlimited, 1st in Expert Limited and 3rd in Master OEM at EMMA Bangalore 2025. There are demonstration vehicles you can actually listen to. And every engagement starts with a consultation that explains the reasoning, rather than a package quote.
Do you work on luxury cars?
Yes — a substantial part of the work is on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Porsche, Land Rover and Lexus vehicles, alongside premium and mainstream cars. The approach is OEM-conscious integration: retain the factory interface and vehicle functions, plan the installation for that specific model, and aim at factory-style fit and finish where technically feasible.
Which areas of Bengaluru do you serve?
The studio serves Bengaluru city-wide from its Koramangala base. Customers regularly travel from HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Domlur, BTM Layout, Jayanagar, Sarjapur Road, Whitefield and central Bengaluru. All work is carried out at the Koramangala studio, since audio calibration and protection work both need controlled conditions.
