The Cost of a Good Sound System

Breaking Down How Much You Should Expect to Spend Upgrading Your Speakers

At Car Stereo City, our goal is to give you the best possible car stereo system at the lowest possible cost whether it’s a replacement radio or aftermarket car audio. We want you to have a car stereo system that can produce amazing sound at a price that does not break the bank, allowing you to completely elevate your driving experience. Great sound makes for great driving. Naturally, this all leads up to one of the main questions our customers ask.

How Much Will It Cost to Put a Good Sound System in My Car?

This is a great question, and one that should definitely be at the top of your list. Before we get into the issue of how much this will cost, we first need to examine what you’re purchasing. The key to any good sound system is a high-quality subwoofer and amplifier. Yes, it’s important to have solid speakers installed in your car, but a subwoofer and amp allow you to play music louder and with more depth and quality. Essentially, you’re adding more power.

Regarding the pricing of these items, a subwoofer on the low end of the cost spectrum can run around $40 to $50 depending on the brand and the model. What we recommend is getting a package that will include everything you need, which consists of the subwoofer, the subwoofer’s enclosure, and the amplifier. We’re currently running a special here at Car Stereo City SD that includes 12” Kenwood 600-Watt Subwoofers, Kenwood 500 Watt Mono Amplifier, and a 12” Subwoofer Box all for the package price of $179. With a subwoofer and amp, you get what you pay for. If you’re really looking to crank up the volume to experience booming bass at its maximum level, you’ll need to invest in top-of-the-line sound equipment.
