• Low frequencies are about sound and feel – Humans hear frequencies down to about 20 Hz. So is that the magic number you should be shopping for? A couple of other considerations are that you may be able to hear slightly lower tones than the average person and you can still feel the lower tones even if you can’t hear them. Just remember that those lower tones that are out of the range of hearing may still be able to do damage if you turn your system up too loud.
• You need to have the sub seated properly – One of the biggest complaints about subwoofers is vibration. When you work with a custom stereo installer, you get the benefit of having the sub installed in a custom housing that won’t rattle.
• Noise reduction can help – By outfitting your car with noise reducing material, you can have crystal clear sound and play it at a lower volume because you are not competing with road noise or losing as much of your sound through the car body.

• Select the correct sub type – There are a number of types of subs, and your circumstances will determine which one is right for you. For example, a raw subwoofer is usually going to offer the best overall performance, but it will need to be installed in the proper enclosure, and you will have to pair it with the proper amp. On the other hand, there are drop-in subs that are designed to fit in vehicles that are already designed to house a subwoofer.
• Adding the proper enclosure – In order to get the full benefit from your sub, it will have to be installed in the correct enclosure. From a sealed box to free-air sub, you can select the cost-level that matches your budget, but keep in mind that sound quality may suffer.
• Frequency range – Bass notes are measured in smaller numbers. Since humans only hear down to about 20 Hz, you may not see a need to get a sub with a lower response than that. However, you can feel notes that go all the way down to 4 Hz, so it depends on the overall experience you want to create.

#1 Decide on Your Budget

How much are you willing to spend on your car audio system? Compare that to how much you can actually afford. Then keep in mind that you don’t have to upgrade every part of the system at the same time to get better sound. You can upgrade the speakers and then save up for an amp. Then you can get a new head unit at a later time. Each new element will enhance the experience further.

#2 Find the Right Car Stereo Retailer and Installer

Finding an installer with the right knowledge and experience is a key part of having your stereo system installed properly. Remember that reputation is important because you don’t want to be taken for a ride when it comes to price or quality.

#3 Upgrade Your Car’s Sound System

• Make the daily commute bearable – Southern California is clogged with traffic. Make your morning commute (dare we say it?) fun by getting the best sound system you can afford.
• Take road trips to the next level – There’s nothing quite like cruising down the Interstate with your best friends, windows open, music blaring for the whole world to enjoy.
• Safety features – You may not think of an upgraded stereo as making your car safer, but the more you can integrate and keep yourself hands-free while driving, the less distracted you will be. A modern stereo can give you better input options as well as integrated GPS and additional safety features.
• It’s summertime! – Research shows that people spend more time driving during the summer. Now is the best time to upgrade your car stereo system so you get the most benefit from it right away.
• You’ve always wanted one – For many of us, an upgraded car audio system has been a dream since we got our first car. Now is the time to act on that fantasy and make it come to life!

Myth #1 – The Wiring Isn’t that Important

Different wires have varying frequency responses just like amplifiers and speakers do. If your wires can’t send the highest highs and lowest lows, you won’t hear them, no matter how expensive the rest of your audio system is.

Myth #2 – Only an Audiophile Will Notice the Difference

If you listen to music in your car, or even audiobooks, you’ll notice the difference. You may not be able to put words to why you like the sound more if you are just a casual listener, but you will definitely notice the difference.

Myth #3 – I Just Need the Right Gauge Wiring

Wire gauge is important. Not enough copper and you can’t power the sound system. You won’t get poor sound quality – you’ll get no sound at all. But the gauge of the wire is not the factor that will determine how good the speakers sound.
