How to choose a car stereo system? Part II

When buying a car stereo system, many buyers focus on the speakers but fail to realize the importance of a head unit. The head unit, or the receiver, should feature large buttons for easy control while driving and have a clear, bright display. When choosing a head unit, ask yourself whether you need a CD changer, or maybe a satellite radio? Do you need the system to read MP3 CDs or just connect to your iPod? These questions can help you focus on the right system that fits your needs and even save you some money.

After the head unit comes the amplifier. If you are planning to get a big set of speakers, you should get a powerful amplifier that will eliminate distortion. Weak amplifiers can damage the speakers, so don’t settle on a cheap model or else you’ll burn the system.

When choosing the speakers, the first thing to check is the size of your car’s speaker mounting units. Just measure the diameter of your current speakers in the front and back of your car and remember to measure both the width of the speakers and the mounting depth. Don’t try to force big speakers into a small mount because size doesn’t have anything to do with sound quality.

How to choose a car stereo system?

Many customers often wonder how to choose a car stereo system but don't realize that the answer is actually inside them.

Before even considering budget and sound quality, when you plan to buy a stereo system for your car, you should really think about your favorite radio stations and listening habits.

You see, there are numerous models, amplifiers and speakers but everything starts with your musical preferences.

For instance, if you just listen to the news or talk radio, you might even want to stick to your car manufacturer system. Yes, we won’t make any money out of you, unless your car is really old and your speakers start screeching, then you might want to consider a new set of basic speakers.

If you are a Jazz Man or the Classical Type, sometimes you can even keep your original speakers and just add some tweaks here and there. Coltrane just loves a pair of good midrange units and your Schumann will sound wonderful with a new set of tweeters.

The best advice we can give you is to bring you iPod or come along with a CD of your favorite music and listen to your tunes on different types of speakers. This is a safe way to find the right speakers that meet your expectations and standards.
