1. Custom Audio System – Your car needs to sound good. Whether you are watching a movie or a YouTube video, the driver only gets to enjoy one part of it, and that is the sound. The right speakers and amps can create a great experience for everyone.
2. Input Options – This used to mean DVD or Blu-ray players. Now video files are often digital as well, so you need the right inputs to play HD video from a phone or tablet.
3. Touch Screens – Whether they are embedded in headrests or mounted to the back of the seat, your screens are an important element of your entertainment system. Thanks to tablets, we’re used to everything being a touchscreen. In fact, many car owners choose to use tablets as the screens in their vehicle.
4. Custom Video Installation – In order to integrate your video system seamlessly, you may need custom installation. This helps your entertainment system to appear as though it comes straight out of the factory rather than looking like a DIY

Myth 1 – “I Have Enough Wattage Without One”

Watts are always listed when someone purchases stereo speakers (or an entire system for that matter). We don’t want to say that number doesn’t mean anything at all. But if you purchase your stereo system based solely on a wattage number and ignore vital components like a subwoofer, you’re going to end up disappointed.

Myth 2 – “I Can’t Upgrade My Car Stereo System”

People often think this is the case because modern in-dash stereos are linked to your heating and air controls, GPS, and other electronic systems. While it is true that it is sometimes much better to leave the head unit alone, you can still enhance your audio significantly by upgrading your speakers. That includes adding a powered sub to your system to give you better bass.

Myth 3 – “My Car Is Too Small for a Sub”

The right installer will find a place where you will not only feel your sub but also hear it clearly. Don’t let having a compact vehicle keep you from getting the audio experience you deserve. At Soundiego, we offer owners of all sorts of vehicles the opportunity to have a custom car stereo system designed and installed to meet your specific needs.

1. The Head Unit – In older cars, replacing the factory stereo can offer an instant improvement in sound quality and update your car to have modern inputs. You may need to skip this step if you have a modern car with the stereo built-in to a dash display that controls everything from the climate controls to your GPS.
2. Car Speakers – Factory speakers are rarely made from quality materials. Then they get stuffed into the doors where they are kicked all the time. They wear out quick and just about any replacements speaker will sound better.
3. Amplifiers – The right amplifier can give your audio system the power it needs to meet its full potential, both when it comes to volume and clarity.
4. Subs – Whether you have one individual sub or a box, it is time to turn your bass up to the next level.
5. Dedicated sub amp – When it is finally time to provide your sub with enough power to create that satisfying thump, you will want to add an amp that is dedicated to just powering your sub.

1. The Right Inputs – Your sound system is only going to sound as good as the quality of the files you play. You also want the convenience of multiple options. Will you be using a CD, phone, tablet, or flash drive to bring along your music? Be sure to have the right inputs, including Bluetooth for wireless enjoyment.
2. Mobile Apps – A number of modern stereo systems now come with mobile app integration that can allow you to do everything from controlling the stereo system to curating your playlist.
3. Dash Integration – This can be tricky with modern vehicles that have everything from GPS to heating and air controls built into the dash display. In fact, you may sometimes want to forgo upgrading the stereo and just focus on things like speakers and amps. In older cars, the main focus is finding a stereo that will fit properly and then choosing the right installers so it looks like a factory unit.

The post 3 Things to Look for When Choosing a Car Stereo first appeared on Soundiego - San Diego Car Stereo and Video Sales and Installation.

#1 Get Some New Speakers

Not all car speakers are cheap, but you don’t have to buy the top of the line speakers to improve the sound in most cars instantly. According to one major online retailer, many original manufacturer car speakers are made from paper (yes, you read that correctly). So you can just imagine what happens to those speakers when they are mounted in a door that gest slammed closed hundreds (if not thousands) of times per year. Even cheap speakers will provide a little improvement.

#2 Upgrade the In-Dash Stereo

Modern stereo systems are a part of a complex dashboard of touchscreens that control your thermostat and many other vehicle functions. But if you have an older vehicle, changing out the stereo can be an inexpensive way to get a little more from your audio system. You can even get one with Bluetooth so you can play music from your smartphone.

#3 Update Your Music Files

If your music files are crummy quality, your sound system won’t matter. The fastest and cheapest way to upgrade the way your music sounds in the car is to stop using compressed files. If you don’t have room on your phone, get a cheap thumb drive for carrying your music around and make sure your other upgrade is a USB input for your audio system.
