🔌 How to Choose the Right Stereo (Without Getting Ripped Off)

  • Check Your Dash Size First: Not all stereos fit every vehicle. Know your single vs. double-DIN.

  • List Must-Have Features: Bluetooth, CarPlay, touchscreen? Prioritize.

  • Match With Existing Gear: Don’t mismatch a powerful stereo with low-end speakers.

  • Read RMS Wattage: Peak power is marketing. RMS is real.

  • Consider Future Add-ons: Will you add amps or subs? Plan ahead.

🤔 FAQs About Stereos

What’s the difference between single-DIN and double-DIN?

Single-DIN is a smaller unit (usually no screen). Double-DIN supports touchscreens and more advanced features.

Do I need a new stereo to get Bluetooth?

Yes. Most older factory units don’t support Bluetooth. Aftermarket units start at $100+ with Bluetooth built-in.

Can I keep my steering wheel controls?

Yes, with the right interface module, your controls will still work with a new stereo.

Is Apple CarPlay worth it?

Absolutely. It gives you voice-activated maps, music, texts, and calls—safely integrated into your stereo.

How long does installation take?

At Texas Boombox Factory, most installs are done the same day, often in under 3 hours.
