Why would I buy a higher-priced model?

For many people, a lower-priced stereo will do everything they need. So why should you spend more? More expensive stereos will offer:

  • Better sound: Higher-priced stereos often feature upgraded power supplies, improved processors, and more flexible fine tuning. That means better sounding music for you, especially if you're upgrading the rest of your vehicle's audio system.

  • Easier to use: Advanced controls make it easier to operate the stereo. Touchscreen controls are among the most intuitive to use and give your stereo a futuristic feel.

  • "Wow" factor: Top-end stereos offer a more striking visual appearance — multi-color fluorescent displays, customizable graphics, and motorized faceplates, for example.
