Which Type Of Audio System Is Best For Your Car?

If you really love your music and want to take it on the road with you, chances are a stock stereo system that comes preloaded from your automobile manufacturer just will not do. Finding the right replacement can be a bit of a challenge, however. There are tons of systems out there, but it is not likely that every option will suit your needs or budget.

Creating any type of replacement audio system for a vehicle will require several main components. These are worth considering no matter what level of sound quality is desired:

• Speakers - There are a variety of different speaker types that are designed to work together to produce sounds that are crisp, clean and full of power. A good system will include woofers, which produce the low frequency sounds; subwoofers, which deal with the lowest frequencies and add to bass; tweeters, which are meant to produce high frequencies.
• Power - If you are taking the time to replace a stock audio system, it does not make sense to go without a power booster. To achieve this, you will need an amplifier. These increase power and help provide a cleaner sound. An amplifier, however, is not required to produce a basic replacement system.
• Components - A standard system will include a head unit, or receiver. Beyond this, you will probably want a CD player. Other components to consider include equalizers, MP3 players and similar auxiliary devices.

To pick the best sound system to meet your needs, you will want to decide just how much of an investment you want to make. Systems tend to run in several classes, including:

• Entry level - This is a basic replacement system that will not break the bank, but should provide a step up from a stock stereo. Basic systems should include speakers, a decent head unit, a CD player, possibly an amplifier and subwoofers to improve the sound.
• Mid-level - While this is the "middle of the road" system, it will sound like a dream. To take sound quality up to the next level, you will need all the components of a basic system with a few extras added in. To improve the quality of sound offered by a basic system, make sure to consider equalizers to fine tune the system. In some cases, multiple equalizers are required to really get the quality desired. If the system is being designed to play when the car is not running, a battery backup is a good idea to make sure the vehicle's electrical system is not overtaxed.
• High end - High end systems, or SPLs, are designed to let owners get as loud as they want to even in the low frequencies. This type of system will require more than the average number of speakers, a lot of power and more money than the other two. To properly support a high-end system, the vehicle's electrical system will need to be upgraded with alternators, capacitors and batteries. Select basic components, such as the head unit, with an ear toward sound quality.

Most manufacturer placed audio systems are designed to get the job done, but in a "good enough" sort of way. When better sound quality is desired, replacing stock with custom can pay off with cleaner, richer and louder sounds.
