Bumping up your car audio
Choosing a car audio system
As technology keeps advancing, it’s easy for the features in your car to fall out of date. Whether you want to replace basic factory speakers with a custom car sound system or increase the connectivity of your car stereo system, there are countless options to help you get started with your car electronics installation . Choosing a new car stereo receiver is one of the most common ways to upgrade your car audio . Since listeners access most music, news and podcasts via phone , it’s crucial to have the right connectivity in your car. Fortunately, compatibility is versatile. Many Apple CarPlay receivers will also handle Android car audio, and many car satellite radios can connect with phones. If you are upgrading your car’s speakers, you'll find that most built-in car speakers use a coaxial design that combines multiple speaker units in one. The exception is the popular car subwoofer speaker, used for the lowest sounds. When installing a car subwoofer speaker , you have a few choices, including whether to buy a powered subwoofer that incorporates an amplifier as well as whether to choose a subwoofer with an enclosure for greater resonance. 
Installing a car sound system
The easiest route when installing new components is to seek professional car electronics installation technicians. But if you are set on learning how to do the job yourself, make sure you have all the parts and accessories you may need, like, in-dash GPS parts and accessories , car amp wires and installation kits and car deck and radio replacement parts . If you are new to installing car electronics, spend plenty of time watching instruction videos and consulting with friends who are more experienced. You will also help yourself out by choosing new components that are the same dimensions as the ones you are replacing. With some patience and research, even beginners can successfully build one of the best car audio setups. You might become so comfortable working on your car that you are ready to add new components, like a dash cam , a car backup camera or a new car security and remote start system . Before you know it, your friends will be coming to you for assistance and advice, and you’ll have a new hobby or profession on your hands.
