How much is a sound system for a car?
I’m a bit of an audiophile and the sound system in my car leaves much to be desired. I think I’m going to upgrade my audio system, but I need to create a budget beforehand. What’s the average cost for a car sound system?

Generally speaking, a sound system for a car costs between about $100 to $3,000, depending on the brand and what you decide to buy.
If you just switch out the old head unit, this can cost about $100 to $200. But if you add new speakers, an amplifier, tweeters, and a subwoofer, you can reasonably expect to pay thousands of dollars, especially if you hire a company to do the installation.
If you’re on the low end of the budget spectrum, here are a few brands to explore:
- Rockford-Fosgate
- Pioneer
- Kicker
- Hifonics
For buyers who have no budget, some mid- to high-range options for your audio needs are:
- Bang & Olufsen
- Harman Kardon
- Bose
- JBL
- Alpine
- Boss Audio Systems
If you’re going with a high-end brand, you may want to consider
