Q: QuestionIs there a difference in price between a 4-channel install and 5-channel install?

Asked 4 years ago by Loofus.

• A:Answer Hi there. Thanks for your question. Both have their own pros and cons. A 4-channel amp is bridgeable whereas a 5-channel amp is not able to do that. It can vary on the vehicle itself and the size of it. So we'd recommend speaking to one of our Autotech specialists in your local Best Buy to make sure we get the right one for you.

Q: QuestionI have a honda accord 2019.. The sound system is not good.. I want more crisp bass what should I do?

Asked 4 years ago by Apollo.

• A:Answer Hi there. Thanks for reaching out about this! More than likely, its speakers aren't the problem but rather there isn't enough power going to them so you could add an amplifier. Of course, you can change the speakers or add a subwoofer or two as well. To figure all this out and get you on the right path, we'd recommend talking to a Autotech specialist at your local Best Buy store. They'll help you find the best options for you and set up an installation appointment if you'd like. You can find information about your local store at www.bestbuy.com/storelocator.

Q: QuestionI already have my amp installed. However, it’s in protect mode would I be able to drop it off and let the geek squad see what’s wrong with it?

Asked 5 years ago by Tanner.

• A:Answer Not being able to use your electronics as intended is never ideal, and it stands to reason you’d want to see what options may be available as a remedy. Our Geek Squad Autotechs may be able to assist, so I’d suggest connecting with them for next steps. It’s difficult to determine what might be possible, without knowing more about the initial purchase, but they can certainly provide that insight, once you reach out to them.
