Whether you’re singing along to tunes or listening to talk radio, a factory-installed car stereo might not be able to produce the sound you desire. Yet replacing the system with an aftermarket unit can be a complex, costly endeavor. Luckily, there are ways to improve sound quality with the current equipment, which are outlined below. 

How to Make Your Factory-Installed Car Stereo Sound Better

1. Add a Digital Sound Processor

If you want to add more bass and amplify the sound of the car stereo, install a digital sound processor. It controls all audio equipment, allowing you to sync additional amplifiers and subwoofers with the current system. It also improves the factory system’s equalization capacity to make bass and treble much sharper. 

2. Install Tweeters in Doors or Dash

With the factory-installed car stereo, speakers use an electromagnet to push a cone back and forth, creating audio. Speaker drivers take electrical signals and convert them into vibrations to produce audible sound. Tweeters are a type of driver installed in the doors or dashboard. They generate higher range frequencies to improve tone clarity. 

3. Use Speaker Pods to Dull External Vibration

Cars vibrate while in motion, which can lead to sound distortions from the stereo. Speaker pods encase equipment to stabilize it and reduce distracting vibration. Depending on the vehicle design and pod model, the devices can be installed in factory dashboards, under doors and the front passenger seat, and mounted on the transmission hump.
