Cheap ways to upgrade the car radio
type: item
description: We all know that not all cars leave the factory with a flawless car stereo, hence the need for improvement arises at some point. At this point, cost becomes an issue and most people (myself included) often want to operate within a modest budget. In my view, it probably starts with purchasing an in-dash radio followed by decent speakers. What's the least amount that you've spent on this?

description: Hi, the last one I replaced was years ago. I put in a Sony AM/FM/CD and upgraded the speakers with some from Pioneer. It was about $250 then. Since that time the gear that came with the last 4 vehicles (oldest one was a 1999) has been just fine. Check Crutchfield for some newer gear...but be prepared for sticker shock.

description: I have a car that has 280k miles on it and the stereo went kapuut about 2 weeks ago. Crutchfield is out of the question. I think a Sony type brand would do just fine.

description: Crutchfield is way out of my league too. Even though I haven't done it myself, the most I could spend on car gear would be $200. I love the speakers from Pioneer.

description: Hi, The obvious next choice is Amazon. They carry stuff from many vendors. Walmart has some and places like AutoZone do to. On line from Frys Electronics as well.

description: I value good sound and if at all I was to modify/change my car radio, I wouldn't set a limit of how much I would be willing to spend. Getting good sound is costly but you can end up using such a set-up for a long time.
