Head unit - The most important part of any audio system is the head unit. There are 4 basic options - CD, Cassette, Mini disc or MP3 .

MP3 is the latest technology, MP3's are audio files that are compressed allowing more to be stored on a CD. A single CD-R or CD-RW can hold about 10 hours of MP3 music, that's up to 10 albums on one disc! To create an MP3 CD, you'll need a computer with a CD writer, and the appropriate software. An in-car MP3 player can play MP3 CD's as well as standard CDs that you buy from a record store.


Add a CD changer - If you want to add a CD player but don't want to lose your cars original stereo then we have fitting solutions for almost every vehicle.


Speakers - Factory fitted speakers are usually made of weather treated paper, to get accurate and clear sound, speakers should be made of extremely rigid material. Soft materials like paper will bend and maybe even rip if too much power is applied them, they will also bend as they move so the sound won't be accurately reproduced. Aftermarket speakers however, are made from synthetic material similar to plastic, and even metal. A simple upgrade using the correct materials makes the world of difference.


Amplifiers - If you like your music loud then consider an amplifier. Adding an amp gives you a high quality power source that will drive your speakers without straining, resulting in cleaner and more defined sound . When you turn up your stereo and you hear distortion, that's the amplifier inside your stereo struggling to power the speakers. Adding an amplifier will help overcome this. No matter what your musical preference, an amplifier will breathe life into your music, bringing out all of its clarity and detail.


Sub woofers - Changing your speakers for better ones certainly improves the clarity. The bass is all but non existent in most installations and in an effort to improve things we all reach for the bass control, whack it up, then find the loudness button and switch that on. Car speakers are simply too small to handle the entire frequency range efficiently. A dedicated Sub woofer that is designed to produce plenty of the lower end frequencies will add the power and deepness without straining the rest of the system.
