so the most important thing is that they produce a crisp and clear
sound quality. In order to establish which stereos have the best
clarity, you will probably have to visit a car audio shop and listen for
yourself. You don’t have to buy your stereo from them, but it does
give you a great way to “try before you buy”.
4. • Budget: next, you need to think about your budget. You are not
looking to buy the most expensive car stereo that you can afford.

value for money. It could be that a cheaper car stereo provides you
with everything you need, so that they have more value than the
more expensive stereos. Again, you should visit your local car audio
shop and have a play around with their display models. Work out
exactly what you want for you money. Think about the following:
• Do you want the car stereo to have Satnav?
• Do you want the car stereo to play a particular type of audio file,
such as Android?
• Do you want the car stereo to play HD digital radio?
• These are all things that can help you to work out if you are getting
value for money.

example, if you choose to buy a double DIN stereo, then you will
probably have to pay a little extra to accommodate the unit in your
car. This should be factored into the overall price of the stereo. If
you are unsure about which size stereo will fit in your car, then take
the car to your local car audio centre, and they will be happy to
provide you with further information.
7. • Car speakers: when choosing your new stereo, you will probably
also want to buy new speakers too. In the UK, you will have the

car. Coaxial speakers are the most common choice of car speakers,
and they do work very well. However, audiophiles can find them a
little low quality.
