The car audio system in your vehicle might not have all the features that you want it to, but upgrading the system is one option to consider. Taking your car to a car stereo store or shop and having them go over the design and suggest upgrade options is an excellent place to start.
Stereo Head Systems
The central portion of your audio system is called the head unit, and it sits in the dash, controls the rest of the system, and is the most critical to upgrade. Factory head units often do not have much power, but there are replacement systems you will find at a car stereo store that can have more wattage, more features and options, and still fit in the factory dash opening.
These updated systems often offer the ability to add multi-disc changers to the system and control them from the head unit. Some have satellite radio built-in, and some even include navigation systems built into the system. A trip to the car stereo store is an excellent place to start so you can get an idea of what is available for your vehicle and the cost of these units.
Replacement Speakers
Installing new speakers in your car is often necessary when you upgrade the head unit with one that has more power output. The factory speakers in many cars are not rated for the amount of power coming from a high-powered stereo system, so talk with an associate at the car stereo store about the options you have for replacement speakers for your car.
Many aftermarket speaker manufacturers offer speakers that can replace the stock speakers and still sit under the grills or trim, which allows you to retain the factory look and feel. A car stereo store or shop can install the speakers for you, running the working carefully to ensure it is not seen, and leaving you with a professional installation that looks great and sounds even better.
If you want to add additional speakers to the vehicle, some shops can make custom speaker housings to fit the car and hold the extra speakers while still looking like they were initially part of the system. Additionally, you can choose to hide speakers in the car's trunk, add additional cutouts to the rear deck, or add some custom trim inside the vehicle that allows additional speakers to be placed in areas otherwise unused.
When you are ready to upgrade the car audio system that comes in your car, a car audio shop or car stereo store will have all the things you need to make the process easier and create a custom system that is perfect for your needs.

After my car died and I was stranded on the freeway a few years back, I knew that I had to do what I could to avoid similar issues in the future. I began working hard to identify different issues with my car, so that I could prevent problems. I began working with a mechanic to get help, and he taught me a lot about going through my car and being able to evaluate different things that were problems. It was really interesting to explore the possibilities of different car failures, and before I knew it, I could tell when my car was struggling.
