Options To Consider When Adding A Car Stereo

By Phillip Unter


If you're a consumer shopping around for a new stereo system for your car, there are a few things you should know. There are many stereos to choose from and it can get overwhelming with the many options to choose from and all the different name brands available.

Many of these car stereos can be installed on your own, but most people choose to use a professional. However, if you're not knowledgeable on these types of things, I'd do it at the store.

Of course it will cost more money by installing the stereo at the store, but you know it will be done right. Installation should not cost more than $100, unless they're doing more than a stereo. The more work, the more it will cost. Circuit city charges $70 for installation.

Many people forget to research the factory stereo system provided in the car, before going out shopping for a new system. This is important for several reasons, but most importantly it's the size. When you remove the factory stereo, you'll want to find a stereo that has the same measurements. There are ways around this, but it could easily be avoided.

There are many features that can come with your stereo. There are all sorts of technology available. Again, these features will obviously help determine the price so decide what's most important to you.

You may also want to consider adding a CD player, Ipod outlet or a disc changer. You can even add Bluetooth features through your new car stereo. As we all know, you get what you pay for so the more features the system has, it will usually be more expensive.

Other options for a car stereo include new speakers, amps and subwoofers. An entire system can add up over several thousands of dollars. Subwoofers are a great addition if you enjoy deep bass.

This is an investment in your car, so don't rush it. You can always keep the system for your next car or sell it with the car if you own the car. Once you change the system, you'll notice a major difference and enjoy driving even more!
