Car Radio | Car Radio Sale

The Car radio is the most important part of the audio system. You will always be staring at the radio and touching it to control your sound system. It is a good idea to look for something that is aesthetically enjoyable, integrates to your automobile, has a logical button layout and has features that best outfit your requirements.

Most important Car radios Features:

CD Changer Controls - Whether you get a CD, cassette or MD car radio get a model that has CD changer controls, they don't cost much, but give you the chance of just plugging in a changer in the future.

Power - The power on car radios is rarely given in RMS watts. Typically a car radio has an output of about 5-7 watts RMS per channel, while a high-powered car radio goes up to 13-15 watts RMS per channel (even if they claim 35 or 40 watts).

RCA Outputs - If you are planning to run the speakers from the car radio's built-in amplifier, you don't have to worry about RCAs, but if you plan to add amplifiers in the future, get one with a set of RCAs (left and right), three sets preferably (left and right for front, rear and subwoofer). An important feature to look for is high-voltage RCA outputs. Typically RCA signals are less than 1 volt. High-voltage RCA signals are 2, 3 or even 4 volts. This allows for better noise immunity and gives you higher headroom for amplifier gain settings. Most high-end manufacturers are selling units with high-voltage RCA outputs which are frequently used in competition.

Security - There are many security options for car radios nowadays. None of them is 100% effective in deterring theft. Detachable faces are very a well-known option. The front part of the car radio comes off which makes the stereo unproductive.
