Choosing the Best Car Audio System
The basic components of a high-quality car stereo system are an AM/FM tuner, a CD player, an amplifier (optional but recommended) and great speakers.
Rule: No auto audio can equal the performance of fine home equipment. The car compartment is small, besieged with engine and traffic noises, and surrounded with competing electrical signals. And all of this in a moving environment. A welter of technical and personal choices dictate the final package.
General guidelines: Shop around. Car audio components are often discounted. Check mail-order houses and the Internet for the best buys.
