Tips And Advices - Choose Speakers for Your Car Stereo

Edit By:Care Cars

Before You Go Shopping

Remove the existing speakers.

Measure the speaker openings. Front speakers usually measure 4 inches, 5 inches or 6 inches. Speakers in the rear deck are usually 6 by 9 inches, 6 1/2 inches or 5 1/4 inches.

Choose a favorite CD or tape to bring with you.

h4>When You Get to the Store

Select several speakers that fit your car and budget.

Ask the salesperson to plug the speakers you've chosen into a radio that's similar to the one in your car.

Play your own music when testing the speakers.

Choose the speakers that sound best to you.

Choose coaxial speakers for the front doors. (A coaxial speaker is actually an assembly of two speakers. One plays the mid-range/mid-bass frequencies, and one plays the highs.)

Check the speaker package before you leave the store. Make sure you're getting everything you bought: speakers, screws, grille, speaker wire, owner's manual, installation instructions and warranty.
