Besides the stereo receiver, the car's speakers are what determines the quality of the sound that is being produced. Although the best way to improve the overall sound of your speakers is to replace them with aftermarket ones, it is possible to improve the sound without having to do this. By learning how to change the sound coming out of the speakers and reducing distortion, you will be able to make your car speakers sound better.
Replace your stock car radio with an aftermarket car stereo. This will not only increase the power output being produced from your speakers but it will give you a greater equalizer selection and more presets. Besides replacing your speakers, this is one of the best options to improve the overall sound of your speakers.
Set the equalizer. Depending on what type of music you are listening to, the treble, bass, and midrange sounds will need to be tweaked. Usually a stereo will come with preset equalizers for jazz, pop, rock, vocals and hip hop. Try to coordinate the preset with what you are listening to.
Adjust the fade and balance settings on your car stereo. If you want to increase the volume and bass of your rear speakers adjust the fade. If you want to increase the sound coming out of the driver's side panel then adjust the left balance setting.
Install Dynamat around the edges of the speaker. This will help deaden the distorted sound waves coming from the speaker, resulting in a crisper sound. Dynamat comes in numerous sizes that range from 12x12-inch squares used for speakers and larger sized sheets used to line the entire trunk and door panels. You can purchase it online or at a car audio store.
