How to Improve Your In Car Stereo on a Budget

OK, so your sound system is rubbish and you want to do something about it, but you don’t have very much money. What can you do? You might be thinking “not a lot”, but actually, depending on the problem, there may be a few things you can try.
1.    Install sound deadening materials: Quite often, cars have very poor sound quality because no one has bothered to install sound deadening materials in the doors or on the floor. Without this, you’re likely to hear a ‘tinny’ element to your music, which is caused by the sound bouncing of the metal and loose bits, such as the rear view mirror or dangling air fresheners.

The sound deadening material simply prevents the sound from bouncing off the car so much. This produces better sound quality and removes the tinny sound. You can buy some fantastic deadening material from various car audio London shops. Some even sell floor mats that contain the material.

    This is a relatively cheap option (£50 tops) and can make a huge amount of difference.

2.    Change the speakers: In the UK, you can buy a decent pair of speakers for as little as £30. These will be low quality, but they will definitely outperform your factory-installed speakers (well, with the exception of some car manufactures, such as Audi and BMW, who do appear to care about their in car audio systems). If your speakers are a bit crackly, or they can’t play very loudly, then swapping them around can really help.

3.    Take a piecemeal approach: OK, so you don’t have a lot of money, and a relatively high quality system will cost you £250 all in. You clearly can’t pay that in one go. Instead, you can start to build the system in a piecemeal way. This means buying each item piece by piece as you can afford it. It might take you all year, but eventually, you'll have the system that you want.
