"Plan your audio system to fit your needs. First, examine what you want from your system: is it GIANT BASS?, is it an audiophile's dream system? is it just an upgrade to a factory ( original equipment) stereo? The list below might help you pinpoint your car stereo needs starting from the modest prices and going up to the most expensive price tags:a) install a basic stereo, like a factory system..AM/FM cassette with pair of speakers
b) upgrade a factory system just slightly, adding speakers to get a bigger sound
c) upgrade to a system with CD player, amps and more speakers for audiophile sound, but not HUGE in volume.
d) install a pounding audio system that will shake the car
e) install a competition-quality system that will drive the neighborhood crazy."
I found this kind of funny but I know most people that have car systems usually just go straight for d.
