A handy guide on how to choose the best sound system for your Audi

If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then there are some tips you should know before you head out to buy a new sound system.

So, here is a short guide on how to choose the right car stereo for your Audi, compiled with the help.

1) First, take note of the amplifiers. An effective amplifier should produce good quality sound out of the speaker set up and will cut any noise and distortion to give you high standard sound. Remember that the amplifier should be placed within your car so that it will acquire good air flow and will not get wet.

2) Following this you need to look at the speakers. The size of the speakers should be in proportion to the car as too much of a magnet may produce terrible audio quality in a small car. However, you need to stick to a budget you can afford and ensure you get speakers that are suited to your Audi. When buying speakers and amplifiers it is easy to get carried away, so be careful.

3) What about automatic volume control? Automatic volume control enables the audio system to control the volume capacity whilst compensating for speed and wind noise. This is a feature you may want to make sure is available on the audio systems you are looking at.

4) What about the extras? Due to the advances of technology, today's newly developed car audio systems are far more efficient and adaptable compared to older models. Some of the latest advancements include GPS ability, a mapping system for directions, Bluetooth ready devices and audio/video display set up.

5) If in doubt, ask an expert. Go into your local Audi store and ask some questions. After this you can move onto the next store and see if you get the same answers. This can be a good way to see if their advice is sincere or whether they just want to sell you the most expensive stereo. Shopping around is the most effective way of getting the right stereo at the right price.

6) Don't alter the electronics. Unless you're an experienced electrician you shouldn't really tamper with the electronics of your Audi. Instead hire a qualified electrician, which could cost you anything from 100 to 200 pounds.

7) On the other hand perhaps a new stereo isn't the only option. Although installing a new stereo could help to add value to your vehicle, it's not always the most effective way to enhance your driving experience. This is because some older Audis aren't advanced enough to let the stereo function properly. If you have this problem you might prefer to buy or lease a car that comes already equipped with a top of the range sound system. For example, Audi contract hire deal might be a good way to replace your former Audi with a newer model.

If you stick to these guidelines then you should make the right decision when it comes to picking and then installing a new stereo system in your Audi.
