What do you need to get an aftermarket audio system?
 

Sometimes your original stereo is not quite up to scratch, and you want something to go way beyond. Sure, you Have your factory stereo, but often it is not enough or simply doesn't have all the features you need. Your stereo head unit is where all the music starts, so you need to make sure you are getting the best one you can find. Today you can easily upgrade your vehicle with an aftermarket car stereo that provides additional options such as HD radio reception, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, iPod interface, while taking your sound quality up.

There are many different stereos available, and each one has different features to suit the way you listen to music. Some have screens so you can light up the interior with a stunning display in time with the music, some can easily tune into satellite radio, and others can tune into everything from your iPod to a USB flash drive. They are designed to fit most dashboards, and they are relatively easy to install as long as you are following the included instructions. Most of you probably thought that its difficult to replace the stereo and refused from this idea. We want to show that you were wrong and in reality it is really easy to do. Check out this video to see how easy factory unit can be replaced:
To install your new stereo, you’ll need a dash kit (DIN or double-DIN depending on your requirements). We have them in different shapes and materials to meet all your needs!

* Aftermarket audio systems may require additional wiring harness adapters or other upgrades. In some cases aftermarket units may not be compatible with a vehicle's electronic systems. For the newer models we recommend professional advice with technical/audio specialist or dealer, since some modifications might be required.

Keep your ride loud with the best sound!

Is this from the "Shameless Commerce Division of Car Talk?" LOL.

New tunes are always nice.

The problem I have with posts like this is clearly you have no idea what your market is here. Nearly every product highlighted will not work in our cars and even the one that does would have little interest to us. Why? Because the audio issue we face is not the head unit it's the lack of subs or places you can put subs in the car. You come up with a solution to put a decent sub set up in an NA Miata with out taking trunk room and you will have lots of folks around here very interested in your stuff.

You have to define decent. I'm thinking a set of JL 6W3v3-4 (6.5" subs) in the rear deck will do. Found one carbon fiber manufactured solution, but pricey and I doubt
the quality from the pics and lack of description and installed pictures so I'll be building my own enclosure under the rear deck carpet.

As a site sponsor we are trying to share with you as much information as possible about interesting and useful products we carry. You're right that Miata is not spacious enough, but still its possible to get a nice audio system.
Start with aftermarket head unit. Any aftermarket head unit in the standard size should be easy to install in the factory location. To get better sound quality you can use an amplifier. External amplifiers are only limited by how much you want to pay. The stock door speakers are quite weak and inefficient and can be replaced by aftermarket ones, as large as 6.5", although this will require a bit of customization. The headrest speakers help to fill-in the higher frequencies, especially during top-down driving when the higher notes from the door speakers tend to be drowned out by wind noise. Any 3" speakers should fit your headrests. It is possible to install a pair of free-air subs in the rear deck panel, trunk or behind the passenger seat. You just need to figure out what size and brand you prefer. To check how exactly it can be done, you can contact our Tech Consultants at 1-800-505-3274 or any local installer.

Yet to post something like the above, out of the blue, it gets classified as SPAM by 90% of the members of each site. To start an actual discussion and be an active participant is one thing, but to just post as self promotion is another.

Your above response is the latter of being considered spam and 100% self promotion, and does not add value to your company, or this forum in it's current form.

I won't even talk about your "E Keystone" style interface for products in which you do not warehouse.

Just my two cents worth.....

Seriously I can't believe you said that. Good luck selling anything when you put the burden on your customers to call in and do your work for you. There is absolutely no point posting an ad that says call someone else because I have no idea how to help you. Talk about http://i60.tinypic.com/2i73am1.jpg!

If you want to sell your stuff then stop wasting our time and show us how you can put a sub set up in a Miata right here. The issue is there is no space at all behind the seat or under the seat and if you have a glass back window no deck either.

:hah: CLICK HERE for the details

damn!!!

OK but not helpful since you still have not answered the question. You titled this post "What do you need to get an aftermarket sound system" but that is exactly the question you need to answer for us. We don't know your products or what components would work best for a small drop top car. That is your job! Seriously have you gone on your site and tried to figure out what a good sound system would be for a Miata?

And again you clearly have no idea who we are. Do you really think a bunch of guys that are capable of putting a Mustang or Corvette engine in a Miata would need to call your techs to install a radio?

I don't wish to be rude but every time you post you just make it worse.
