wheels


Upgrading your wheels and tires not only impacts the speed and performance of your cart but also changes its entire look and feel. Here’s how to choose the best options for your specific needs:

TIRE SIZE:

Larger tires generally increase speed but can reduce torque, especially when climbing hills. For a balance of performance and aesthetics, 10 to 12-inch wheels paired with off-road or all-terrain tires are a popular choice. If you’re more focused on smooth rides, go for street tires.

RIM STYLE:

From sleek chrome to matte black finishes, choosing the right rim can elevate the aesthetic appeal of your cart. Make sure your rim choice is compatible with your tire size and the type of terrain you’ll be driving on.

TREAD TYPES:

If you’re using your cart for off-roading or hunting, opt for tires with deep treads. For pavement and golf course use, low-profile tires provide a smoother, quieter ride. Make sure to check if the terrain you frequent requires a specific tread pattern.

SEATS


When customizing your golf cart, seating is one of the most important areas to consider for both style and comfort. Whether you’re looking to upgrade the front or back row, the possibilities are endless with custom options tailored to your preferences.


For the front row seating, you can enhance the look and feel of your ride by selecting high-quality materials like leather, marine-grade vinyl, or plush fabrics. Ergonomically designed seats provide extra support for long rides, while color options allow you to match the seats with the overall aesthetic of your golf cart. You can also add features such as heated seating, adjustable armrests, and custom stitching for a more personalized touch.


When it comes to the back row seating, comfort and functionality are key. Many customers choose folding rear seats to create extra cargo space when needed, or bench-style seating for extra passengers. Custom cushions, vibrant colors, and durable, weather-resistant fabrics ensure that your back row is both stylish and practical. Some back seats even feature hidden compartments for storage, or flip-down cup holders for added convenience.


Overall, customizing your golf cart’s seating enhances both the look and functionality of your vehicle, giving you a comfortable and stylish ride that reflects your personal taste. Whether you're looking for sporty designs or luxurious finishes, custom seating options ensure that your golf cart stands out on the course or in the neighborhood.

sound system


Nothing says customized quite like a booming sound system in your golf cart. Whether you're planning to use your cart for tailgating or cruising the neighborhood, a sound system can turn heads and enhance your ride. Here's how to do it:

Choose Your Head Unit:

The head unit (the stereo) is the brain of your sound system. Bluetooth compatibility is a must if you want to stream music from your phone. Weather-resistant units are highly recommended, as they can withstand outdoor conditions.

Speakers:

For crisp sound and deep bass, opt for marine-grade speakers. They’re durable and water-resistant, perfect for outdoor use. Speaker placement is important for sound quality. Mount them on the roof or dashboard for the best audio experience.

Amplifiers and Subwoofers:

If you want extra bass, adding an amplifier and subwoofer is the way to go. A compact subwoofer can fit under the seat or in the back compartment, ensuring your cart doesn’t lose valuable space while still delivering punchy audio.

Power Management:

Installing a sound system means additional power consumption, especially if you add amplifiers and subs. Be sure to use a dedicated 12-volt battery or a voltage reducer to ensure your cart's main battery doesn’t drain too quickly.

Golf carts have evolved far beyond just being a convenient ride on the course. Today, they are increasingly used for neighborhood cruising, hunting, or simply as a statement of style. Customizing and tuning your golf cart for speed, wheels, and even sound systems can make your ride both functional and personal. Here's a detailed guide to tuning your golf cart to get the most out of its performance and style.

Tuning for Speed

Most standard golf carts are built to travel between 12-15 mph, but many enthusiasts want to push these boundaries. However, before you go full throttle, it’s essential to understand the basics of your golf cart's drive system. Golf carts typically come in two varieties: gas-powered and electric. Each type has its own method for tuning, though some techniques apply to both.
