Tips on how to buy the best in car stereo for your Mini

If you said yes to any of these questions, then there are some things that you should know before you get a new sound system.

So, here are some hints on how to select the correct car hi-fi system for your Mini, compiled with the help of centralcontracts.com.

1) First, you should take note of the speakers. An amplifier should produce a high quality of sound out of the hi-fi speakers and will eliminate noise and distortion to give you high standard sound. Be sure that the amplifier positioned in a car location that will be open to a good air flow and remain dry.

2) The next consideration is the speakers. The size of the speaker should conform to the size of your vehicle because too much of a magnet can produce a low quality of sound in smaller cars. Remember to set out an affordable budget when purchasing speakers and only make sure you get speakers that are suited to your Mini. When shopping for speakers and amplifiers it's easy to get carried away, so remember your budget.

3) After this consider automatic volume control, if the car has this feature it will allow the audio system to control the volume capacity whilst compensating for speed and wind noise. You may want to check if this feature is available on the models you are looking at.

4) What about the add-ons? Thanks to modern technology, advances, today's newly developed sound systems are more versatile and efficient compared to the ancient ones. More recent features include GPS ability, a mapping system for directions, Bluetooth ready devices and audio/video display set up.

5) If in doubt, ask an expert. Go into your local Mini store and ask some questions. You can then move onto the next store and compare their advice. This can be the only way to check if their advice is reliable or whether the staff are just trying to sell you a stereo. Shopping around is the only way to ensure you get the best possible deal.

6) Don't alter the electronics. Unless you are a qualified electrician you shouldn't really change the electronic set up of your Mini. If you want to change anything hire a professional electrician, which could amount to a cost of 100 to 200 pounds.

7) However a new stereo isn't the only option. Although installing a new stereo would help to upgrade your Mini, it's not always the most efficient way to increase your driving experience. This is because older Minis may be too dated to get the stereo to function properly. If you run into this problem then you might prefer to buy or lease a car that comes already equipped with a top of the range sound system. For example, a Mini contract hire deal from centralcontracts.com could be the ideal way to replace your old Mini with a newer model.

If you follow the advice in this article hopefully you should have no problem when it comes to buying and then installing a new audio system in your Mini.
