b>The five most common mistakes when buying car speakers When it comes time to buying replacement speakers for a caraudio system, there are several mistakes which are commonlymade. Be sure to read this handy guide to avoid the five mostcommon mistakes when buying car speakers. 1. Plan your budget. Are you revamping your entire audio system?If so you need to allocate money to different parts of thesystem. If you are just changing the speakers, decide how muchmoney you want to spend on them before seeing what is available.This will allow you to keep costs within a reasonable range. 2. Consider how much you are willing to modify your car. Somespeaker systems require extensive modification. This is an extracost which must be factored into your budget, and also mayaffect the resale value of the car if you decide you want to tryand keep the audio system. 3. What do you use your car for? If you travel extensively andare on the road almost every day, you should probably splurgeand buy the best quality speakers you can afford. After all,your car is like
a second home, and anything you can do to makeit more comfortable will enhance your working life. On the otherhand, if you only use the car to go to the grocery store andmost of the time it sits on the driveway, it's a bit of a wasteto go for high-end car speakers.4. How long are you going to keep your car? If you plan on usingthe same car for two years or more, it makes sense to buygood-quality speakers. If you're going to sell the car nextmonth and are simpler looking for a upgrade to the audio systemto make it easier to sell, keep your car speaker budget to aminimum.
5. What kind of music you listen to? This will have a biginfluence
on the type of
car audio system that you have. If youlike to listen to strong, bass-heavy music, you
should getpowerful amplifiers and ample subwoofers. On the other hand, ifyour
music tastes run to classical or pop, you want a speakersystem which can reproduce
the entire audio spectrum evenly.
