The Best Car Stero Shop in Los Angeles: In-Car Entertainment System Advice from the Pros

by Eddie Borgwardt

"Give me a list of what you'd buy if you had unlimited money," you could ask the average male, and you'll likely get "big high-tech entertainment system" in there somewhere. The average Joe is apparently fixated on entertainment systems, so it only follows that the best-selling car accessories available out there are related to Car Audio & Video Systems.

Winner of 2008 Best Car Stereo Shop in Los Angeles Area by MyFoxLA award Startronics has kindly given us some tips on getting started with your own in-car entertainment system, and choosing which speaker system, amplifier, TV screen and stereo is right for you.

Many cars right out of the factory carry a standard set of speakers and stereo system. For the mobile audiophile, this may not be enough. Fortunately, there are many systems out there in the market, from solid, high-performance US brands, to exotic, high-end Italian imports. Whichever the case, you should buy your speakers after, or, if possible, at the same time as the stereo itself.

2008 Best Car Stereo Shop in Los Angeles Area by MyFoxLA winner Startronics recommends a very simple method of choosing speakers: take them for a dry run. Have your supplier hook up a system you'd like to buy, and bring along one of your CDs and play it. Is the sound quality good enough? Does it play very high and very low sounds well, at high volumes? Reading user reviews online will help you decide, but hearing and comparing setups for yourself, playing your favorite song, is really the best way to know if this particular audio system is for you.

The same holds true for buying video for your car. Have your own video on hand- bring a DVD, one with scenes of bright, intense colors, and very dark scenes. This will show you the capabilities of the monitor, whether or not it can handle deep black or extremes in color values.

Installation will also involve other factors. The dimensions of some cars, for example, may be more ideal for installing certain audio and video systems. If there's no room in the dashboard for a screen mounted up front, then you'll have to go for a flip-down version installed in the ceiling, which changes how your system will be wired.

In the end, 2008 Best Car Stereo Shop in Los Angeles Area by MyFoxLA awardee Startronics says, the decision is yours. Because you'll be the one listening to the music and watching videos, it's your tastes that apply, not the recommendations of strangers. You just have to consult your car shop, and let them work out the details of how to make your dream of a manly in-car entertainment center come true.

Because we all have our own particular likes and dislikes, selecting the ideal Car Audio & Video Systems for your own car is also a matter of taste. When trying to decide which product is best for you, 2008 Best Car Stereo Shop in Los Angeles Area by MyFoxLA auto center awardee Startronics suggests that you bring along your own music and video. Try them out on monitors, Car Speakers & Car Amplifiers before buying them.
