In 2010, CarAudioNow was founded by Kameron Scott to help consumers find the right products for the right application in their vehicle or boat. The goal was simplify the search for people while educating them at the same time. While working in the field installing products and testing items first hand, Kameron decided to start to write about his experiences with products online. Combined with his itch for everything digital and websites, CarAudioNow was created and has been chugging along ever since.
Roaming through the web and in the stores to find the equipment that's best for your car, truck or boat can be time consuming at the least. Hundreds of options, diluted by thousands of opinions. And where many of our competing review sites write meaningless articles by people who haven't touched a car stereo, or employ AI to regurgitate content that's written by first hand accounts (like ours), the experts who write for CarAudioNow.com have been hand picked and know their stuff. They have first-hand experience installing and reviewing equipment, or are just gear heads that love everything automotive.
Why are we Here?
At CarAudioNow.com, it is our mission to provide meaningful, unbiased reviews and reliable information about car audio and video equipment. Whether it's a custom installation in a Ford F-150, a How To about wiring a head unit, or a Best List of car stereos – the content you read here is our honest opinion based on our own experiences and expertise. If you don't think that we're doing this effectively, or have general questions or feedback please reach out to us via our Contact Us page! We want to create content and experiences that users love, and if we are failing to doing that, we want to know.
How We Make Money
We understand that there can be a conflict of interest between writing reviews, compiling best lists and ultimately being paid by companies that manufacture and sell products. We try to be as transparent as possible when it comes to how we make money, and how that impacts our users.
Our number one goal is to provide meaningful product reviews and content for our users to keep them coming back for more. Although we make money on the products that you buy from our affiliate partners when you click on our affiliate links (like the “Buy Now” buttons), it doesn't impact which products we review and place on our list (or which order). We don't take money from product manufacturers (we'd be flattered if you think they would pay us to do so).
We also don't cram our content full of display advertising, although we do leverage ad exchanges like Google Adsense and in some cases sell display advertising on our site to Manufacturers. Your experience on our website is a top priority to us and even though we might be able to profit more to do so, you'll never see excess popups or advertisement on CarAudioNow.
Our Editorial Process
Discovering, reviewing and installing products goes well beyond just searching and rewording other articles on the web. Quality lists, how tos and educational content takes a lot of effort and resources to build. CarAudioNow's entire writing and editorial process is built around creating quality content for our users, and not just making money. Not to mention, in most cases we just have fun testing and installing product. We want to be a source of truth that our users trust and we spend a lot of time and resources trying to do this. If you feel like we're falling short of our goal, we'd love to hear from you! Email us at support@caraudionow.com with your concern/opinion.

About the Founder
CarAudioNow.com was established in 2010 by Kameron Scott. He launched it as a local automotive and marine ecommerce site to enable local users to find, purchase and pick up products. Restricted by manufacturer online sales policies, in 2011 he pivoted from an ecommerce based domain to a reviews and how-to website, focusing on the core automotive products such as car speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, head units, GPS navigation and so on. Since 2010, he has expanded the breadth of content beyond just automotive and marine electronics into a variety of consumer electronics products.
Before CarAudioNow, he owned and operated a local mobile car stereo company, SC AutoSound and focused on installing and upgrading car, RV and boat stereos throughout South Orange County, CA. Today his day job is in Product Management, working for large enterprises like Motor Trend Group and Experian.
