Once you finally get the keys to that dream car, your thoughts invariably turn to the sound system, and with cutting edge hi-end car entertainment components, you can custom build a system that will outperform a more expensive package. In this article, we will look at the separate components that come together to create a hi-end sound system that will be perfect in your new set of wheels.

The Play Unit

This is the core of the system and all the best models have touch-screen control with hi-res DVD outputs for several LCD screens, with one of the top models being the Kenwood DDX4019BT, which offers hands-free Bluetooth for both iPhone and Android systems. If you want to save some money and are not bothered about DVD, you can invest in a Pioneer or Kenwood medial player that runs everything except the DVD feature.

Power Amplifier

With a choice of two or four channel output, one of the most popular is the amazing JBL Audio Club 100W, 4-channel amp, which can be combined with JBL GTO speakers to give you a hi-end system that delivers ultra-high quality audio from a range of media. Power ranges from 400-1,300W so they will be something that’s ideal for your lifestyle.

Coaxial Speakers

These units have the subwoofer and the tweeter in a single cone, and 4 x 6-inch units can deliver the ultimate surround sound experience, with the JBL GTO range offering the best value for money. If you search online for a leading Australian in-car entertainment supplier, you can browse the best makes and models that are offered at lower than retail prices. If things are not so good at home, here is some excellent advice on how to keep your relationship strong, which is an interesting read.

Professional Installation

If you have no real experience with fitting hi-end audio equipment in a vehicle, this should be left to the professionals, who will install the components correctly and to the highest standards. There should be a company in your area that installs car audio equipment and a Google search is the easiest way to source a reliable installer. It is very easy to fry a media player if you wire up incorrectly, and that’s a lot of money down the drain, plus the experts can fit the equipment causing zero damage to the upholstery.

Buying Online

The online supplier has the best brands and models, plus they offer the lowest prices, which are on average 15-20% cheaper than the traditional bricks and mortar retail outlet. Aside from having all the best equipment, they also sell the installation kits that contain everything you need for a clean and professional installation, plus a whole host of stylish accessories.

Online Car Audio Forums

If you would like to find out what the experts think about your chosen combination, ask in one of the many car audio forums, where the experts can give you their opinion. You can get some very useful information when you talk to the enthusiasts, and that can help you to make an informed decision.
