A car audio studio built on explaining the reasoning
Who is Autoplanet?
Autoplanet is a car audio and automotive customisation studio in Koramangala, Bengaluru, operating since 1997. The work spans designed car audio systems, DSP calibration, OEM-conscious integration, sound deadening, paint protection and interior customisation. Every engagement is consultation-led, and the studio keeps demonstration vehicles so customers can evaluate by listening rather than by specification.
How we got here
Started in 1997, Autoplanet has pioneered the concept of car audio for over two decades. An in-depth understanding of the challenges in car audio — limitations of speaker placement, inconsistent acoustic parameters — means Autoplanet has science-backed solutions for the best price-performance ratio in car audio.
While Autoplanet understands and respects the engineering breakthroughs in car audio, it is also aware of the hypnotic claims made by some high-profile brands, and has consistently helped customers understand the aspects that actually matter in arriving at a system they are passionate about.
Autoplanet uses current acoustic analysis tools for high-end installation, providing the critical calibration that meticulous performance depends on.

What we believe about this trade
Three positions that shape how we work — and occasionally cost us a sale.
Specifications do not tell you how something will sound
Cabin acoustics dominate the result. This is why demonstration vehicles matter more than brochures, and why we would rather you listened before you decided.
Tuning is the difference between hardware and a system
An expensive untuned system regularly loses to a modest calibrated one. That is not a marketing position; it is what measurement shows and what independent judging confirms.
The limits should be stated before the work, not after
Warranty impact, reversibility, coverage boundaries and realistic outcomes are vehicle-specific. We tell you what we can and cannot honestly promise once we have inspected your car.

- 3rd place — Master OEMEMMA Bangalore 2025
EMMA 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 specific events, categories and years — never a general "award-winning" claim.
Judging credentials
Beyond competing, the team has been appointed to judge at EMMA finals level — assessing other competitors' builds against EMMA's own published criteria.
- First Indian appointed head judge at the EMMA Asia Finals
- Judged the EMMA Euro Finals
