Unless you have a late-model vehicle that came with premium sound, chances are your car or truck is begging for a serious overhaul in the speaker department. Whether your speakers are starting to show their age or they were never that great in the first place, there are plenty of reasons to replace your car’s factory speakers with aftermarket speakers.
Is it worth upgrading your car speakers?
The main argument against replacing speakers is the cost, but installing direct replacement aftermarket speakers can be a great way to improve sound quality without breaking the bank. While it can get expensive, you will enjoy an improvement in sound quality when you upgrade to component speakers.
If you’re looking to do an overall upgrade to your car audio system, your factory speakers should be one of the first components on the chopping block. It’s unlikely that your stock speakers are up to the task of working with a premium head unit and amplifier, so leaving them in place will hamper your dream system.
In that case, you're better off staying away from direct replacement speakers. If you want to get the most out of your new custom car audio system, you're better off replacing the factory speakers with high-quality component speakers and throwing in at least one subwoofer.
