Searching For Car Stereo Installation

By Gary Hamilton


Nearly all cars will have a sound system which allows the driver and passengers to listen to music inside the vehicle. The majority of car manufacturers will fit a simple audio unit to vehicles when they are made. Many drivers choose to buy an improved system and will need professional car stereo installation and some homework is required beforehand.

There are many types of car audio system on the market and they will all have different features. Most will have a built in FM radio, CD player and some will have a USB port to allow you to play music from an external drive or mp3 player. Most systems will be connected to four speakers but there is the option to fit more if necessary.

After buying a new audio system for your car you will need to install it and there are a couple of ways to get the job done. All new units will have fitting diagrams and if you have some basic electrical skills you can install it. A far better option is to pay for professional installation and there are technicians in San Antonio, TX that will do the work to ensure it is done correctly.

There are a few reasons why having an audio system fitted by a professional is recommended. When you install a stereo, and make a mistake, you can cause irreversible damage to the unit and to the electrical system on the vehicle. Most new cars are fitted with a system that is an integral part of the dashboard and removing these is quite complicated.

Some stores will offer a free fitting service when you buy audio equipment from them and this is worth taking advantage of. Having a free fitting will save money and it avoids having to look for a fitter elsewhere. Other stores may offer heavily discounted fitting and this can also help to save a few dollars.

Prior to having your new audio unit fitted, you should take some time to work out how many speakers you require, and if you need any additional amplifiers. The fitter will install the head unit, speakers and amps in tidy manner so that no cables are visible. When you do have large amps and speakers fitted they are normally in the trunk which means you may lose some capacity there.

When your new unit is fitted it will be tested by the installer to make sure everything works properly. Most installations are guaranteed and you need to hang on to the paperwork and your receipt for the job. If you discover any faults at a later date you will need to go back to the installer and have the unit checked out.

It is worth keeping your old stereo after getting a new one fitted into your car. The old unit can be put back into the vehicle if you decide to sell it or trade it in future. It is essential to keep your car secure when you have an expensive audio system fitted as they are a target for thieves so security is important.
