How to Upgrade Car Audio System?

Determine your preferred music style. Set your budget according to your actual situation. Choose a car audio modification shop carefully. As the saying goes "30% depends on equipment, 70% on skills", the selection of car audio modification shops is crucial.
Car audio modification can be divided into several stages from beginner to advanced. I recommend starting with the basics by replacing the speakers with ones that match the original car's size. Typically, install mid-to-high-frequency speakers on the front doors and full-range units on the rear deck. Before installation, remember to soundproof the doors first—applying three layers of sound-absorbing foam is highly effective. Next, adding a DSP amplifier is crucial, as it can adjust the soundstage positioning to enhance the stereo effect of the audio quality. Finally, when upgrading the head unit, pay attention to compatibility issues, as modifying the central control screen in many new cars may affect original functions. Always use sufficiently thick oxygen-free copper wiring, and route the power cable independently along the driver's side to avoid interference. During the tuning phase, it's best to use a professional audio tester to adjust the crossover points—this task is best left to a modification shop if you lack experience.
