While here at Kawartha TV and Stereo we must concede that many of the vehicle manufacturers have consistently been improving their “stock” audio offerings over the last several years in most of the vehicles they offer, as audiophiles we still know that what you typically get in your new car, truck or SUV when it comes to performance is dramatically lacking when compared to what it could be.
While there are many people who would love to enhance their ride’s sound, there are usually an equal number of people who are not really that interested in having to rip apart their dashboard, or start carving door sills, rear seats and/ or rear window decks to get that better sound.
So from this, one question the team here at Kawartha TV and Stereo gets quite often is how can someone upgrade their existing car audio without having to replace their entire system?
Fortunately, there are many options available to accomplish this allowing someone to improve their vehicles sound quality without having to start excessive or extreme “cutting”.
Best of all many of these options are also quite affordable!
Today we’ll give you the first option you should consider if you’re thinking about how you can accomplish this. Its also typically our first suggestion each time this topic comes up… and that is to get a subwoofer and enclosure with a built in amp.
These can be connected to your existing vehicle speaker system, they are affordable, and best of all they do not require you to have to rip out your existing car audio system.
Alternately there are amplifiers that can do the same if you want to go with a separate subwoofer & enclosure of your choice.
Thats’ it!
When we tell people this they often wonder what kind of improvement they can expect to hear from such a simple installation?
Trust us, you’ll immediately be able to hear (and feel) the difference.
First, this change will dramatically enhance the low frequencies and bass, which is something that many factory installed sound systems really struggle with.
Second, it also allows your existing speakers to focus on the mid and high frequency range. This helps you get a much more balanced and well rounded sound.
Finally you will also be much less likely to have that distorted strain from your regular speakers as they struggle to perform.
At the end of the day you will find that your music sounds fuller, clearer and tighter.
