The "ideal" car audio system is not necessarily the loudest one, or the most expensive one. It's the one that best meets your needs. So, the first step is to figure out what your needs are.
Ask yourself the right questions.
First, the most important question: What is the one thing you want your new car stereo to do for you? If you can't quite put your finger on it, let's take a close look at your current system.
What type of car system do you have now?
How does the sound of your current system make you feel? Do you find yourself tapping your foot or drumming your fingers on the steering wheel? Does a funky rhythm section groove get you smiling? Does a blues guitar solo send shivers down your back?
No? Is the sound flat, dull, tinny, wimpy? Then you suffer from the listening to an older car radio struggling to drive flimsy factory speakers. Ok, we're making progress.
Now, let's look at what types of sources you have to choose from.
Are you listening to mixed tapes on an old cassette deck? Does it have CD or MD changer controls built-in? Would you enjoy a changer's ability to put hours of music at your fingertips? Maybe you've got an in-dash CD player that sounds great — but can it play customized CD-Rs and CD-R/Ws? Are you interested in playing MP3, WMA, or other types of digitally-compressed music formats in your car?
How does 100 channels of crystal-clear, digital Satellite radio reception nationwide strike you? Does the picture of your kids in the back quietly watching DVDs on a long drive appeal to you? Would a navigation system be a beneficial addition to your audio/video system?
These days, technology moves so fast that the new car audio system you bought 5 years ago is, in all likelihood, not capable of playing many of today's most exciting music formats, not to mention playing DVD movies. Start thinking about which, if any, of these new technologies you'd like to incorporate into your car audio system.
What are your options?
A good way to start is by making a list of the components in your system and rating them on a scale of 1-10. It usually makes sense to begin by replacing the lowest-rated components. A new set of speakers or a new CD-R/W-compatible, MP3-capable head unit with high RMS power can dramatically enhance your listening experience.
But you may not be starting completely from scratch. You might have certain components that you can use to build on. Augmenting your setup with a subwoofer driven by an appropriate amplifier, for instance, will fill in the lows that full-range speakers can't reach, giving you a richer overall sound. Or if you already have an amp, equalizers, crossovers, and surround processors can provide the precise adjustment you need to compensate for your vehicle's acoustics.
The point is, you've got lots of approaches to choose from. The type of system that will best meet your car audio/video needs will depend on the symptoms you're trying to address, your budget constraints, and your ultimate goals.
What if I'm unsure about where the problems lie in my current car stereo components?
Good question. It's not always easy to diagnose what is causing problems in a vehicle's audio/video system, even when you know that you're not satisfied with its performance. But there are some simple steps you can take to help you narrow it down:
Listen while parked in the driveway for a few minutes
Twist all the knobs and push all the buttons. Do all the functions seem to work okay?
What would you like your radio to do that it won't do now?
Play CDs, CD-Rs, CD-R/Ws, MP3 files?
Tune-in digital Satellite Radio?
Control a CD, MD, or MP3 changer?
Play louder without distorting?
Play DVDs on a retractable LCD Display?
Listen to each speaker individually by adjusting the balance and fader controls. Turn up the volume and the tone controls. Are all the speakers working? Do any of them rattle or buzz?
Drive around and listen carefully.
Hit the highway and turn your stereo up loud enough to be heard above the road noise.
Now find a place to park the car.
Keeping the volume at "highway level" (but without the road noise to confuse your ear), do you hear a lot of distortion?
Set the balance, fader, and tone controls right smack in the middle. How's the overall sound of the speakers? What's lacking? Bass? Treble? Clarity?
If your speakers sound OK at moderate volume, but not at "highway volume," you may want to start by adding more power. If the speakers sound bad all the time, you know to replace them first.
