Eminent Hi-Fi's steps to building a great sounding car stereo:

Add a subwoofer first! Contrary to popular belief you do need a subwoofer and you will enjoy bass. Did you know that without a subwoofer you are missing out on 25% of your music? Others may tell you to change your factory speakers first, which is a great upgrade, but adding better sounding speakers does not ensure that you will receive that crucial low-end response. Even in factory systems that include a factory subwoofer it is highly recommended that you upgrade your subwoofer because factory systems lack depth and impact.

Change your head-unit (radio) next. The head-unit is the driving source to all of your speakers and amplifiers. Most aftermarket radios have more power than a factory radio which makes all of your speakers sound better , even if they're still your factory speakers. Plus, most aftermarket radios will allow you to seamlessly connect your iPod/MP3 player, satellite radio, blue-tooth cell phone, or whatever else you listen to in your vehicle; all without losing your factory installed options like steering wheel controls and OnStar.

Once you've added a subwoofer and replaced your head-unit it's time to replace those factory speakers. Most factory speakers lack a tweeter which robs you of high-end frequency response, like cymbal crashes. Get an aftermarket speaker that includes a tweeter and possibly even a component system. A component system will have a separate tweeter that will allow you to mount the tweeter in a more ideal location. The high frequencies that are reproduced by a tweeter disperse faster so mounting the tweeter close to the listening position is very important.

Sound dampening material, like Stinger's Roadkill, is always an excellent upgrade. Add Roadkill to your doors to improve your speaker's mid-bass response. Mid-bass is paramount to a great sounding system and one of the most difficult things to achieve in a car, especially without sound dampening. Also, sound dampening your trunk and other parts of you vehicle is great for getting rid of rattles and unwanted road noise.

Proper installation is the single-most important key to building a great sounding car stereo. Poor equipment that is installed properly is more likely to sound better than great equipment that is installed poorly. Having Eminent Hi-Fi install your stereo will ensure that you achieve maximum sound quality out of your equipment for years to come.
