Learn How to Install a Car Stereo.One of the easiest ways to save money on car stereo systems is to install them yourself.
Disconnect the negative battery cable so that you can work safely. Slide the new car stereo into the mounting bracket. Slide the stereo into place but don't screw it in until you've tested it.
For the installation, you'll need your owner's manual, a screwdriver or socket wrench set, and wire strippers. For some people, a great-sounding car stereo system is an essential piece of equipment. Then attach the constant and ignition power wires.There's nothing like driving down the street and listening to music with the windows down. Your manual should show exactly how to do this. When testing the stereo, use the balance features to listen to each car stereo speaker and make sure that it's working properly. You will either see one plug that is attached to all of the wires or a bunch of wires that are individually attached to the stereo. The ground wire should be attached to metal. It's also a good idea to look for a system that is wired specifically for your make and model if you can find one.
If you have a plug, all you need to do is remove it and plug in the new one. If everything's working right, go ahead and screw in your new stereo, put on some music, and enjoy!

Essentials of a Car Stereo
A car stereo is a basic requirement of a vehicle. Vehicles without stereos are considered old and outdated.
There are many reasons why one would want to buy this equipment; to install it if it's a new car, to replace the old radio with a CD, to upgrade an old car sub woofers, to power the old sub woofers and if one wants to increase the bass or soften the sound.
