True story: In 1983, Honda didn’t bother to include a car speaker system in any of its Civics, even the super-fancy 1500 “S” model. You bought the whole audio system from a dealer, who then installed it for you. Nearly 30 years later, things have changed. Today’s car audio is integrated at the factory and is often wired so intricately into the rest of the vehicle that it’s difficult, and in some cases nearly impossible, to change or remove any of the components.
No need to fret—there’s an affordable, low-tech way to improve your audio quality. All you have to do is swap out your factory speakers with aftermarket ones. The average factory-installed car speaker is designed more with durability and cost control in mind rather than ultimate audiophile enjoyment, so an upgrade is a chance to make a big change for relatively small bucks.
