If you enjoy listening to the radio or playing CDs while driving, you are probably considering purchasing a car audio system. Most vehicles come with some sort of audio system.

Factory installed, but if this system performs poorly or does not meet your needs, you may want to purchase an audio system or aftermarket components.

When entering the arena of the car audio system, first be aware of the main aspects to consider:

Functions – Radio, CD, CD stacker, MP3, cassette deck, navigation, Bluetooth.
Compatibility – Speakers, amplifier, individual components. If you buy your audio components (radio, CD player, cassette deck) separately, check that they will be compatible.
Additional functions – LCD or monitor for display, automatic volume control, auxiliary. Connections.
Cost – Varies widely depending on quality, name, potency, and features.

Now turn your attention to your needs. Why do you want a car audio system? Asking yourself a series of questions can identify your needs and help you match product features to your actual needs. Start with these questions and add others that come to mind:

Q. How often will I be using my new system?

A. You may want to listen to music on the way to work or all day long if you frequently drive long distances. Maybe you only want to use it on weekends when driving to relax.

Q. What kind of music do I listen to?

A. It might sound like a strange question, but someone who enjoys rap or hip-hop might want their music to hit higher volumes. If, for example, you listen to symphonic music, you might only want a system that will deliver crisp, clear sound without having powerful bass and high volume.

Q. What kind of media do I want to play in the car?

A. If most of your music is on CD, you will need a CD player. Alternatively, if your music is in audio file formats for your computer or MP3 player, you will either want a port to plug in your MP3 or be able to download it directly to your audio system.

Q. How much do I want to spend on an audio system?

A. This is perhaps one of the most important questions because it has to do with your budget. You may want to consider estimating what you are able to spend, as quality audio systems and their components can be quite expensive.

Q. Do I want to use my cell phone through my car audio system?

A. Some new car audio options allow your cell phone to work through your car’s speaker system via bluetooth.

By following this process, you can highlight the options that you want to include in your sound system. You can ignore the features that are not important to you.

If you want to maximize the sound experience, many stereo systems, both in stock and after the market, use surround sound technology. This is useful not only for audio recordings, but also for vehicles with built-in video capabilities. Surround systems use a five or seven speaker configuration. Discreet sound systems mean you really get a theater-like experience.
