Make sure those moments and memories are backed by amazing music and quality sound. There are a few affordable steps you can take to create the ultimate car music system.

At Nutley Auto Kia, we want your driving experience to be as pleasurable as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled a brief list of the best, most bang-for-your-buck audio-enhancers out there for you and your new car. Whether you’re looking to enhance factory speakers, perfectly connect streaming services to your stereo, or replacing the stereo altogether, we’ve got you covered.

This is the AUX adapter you’ve been waiting for. Why? Because it actually works: no radio fuzz, just a crystal-clear representation of your most cherished tunes. The MPOW streams up to 10 hours of music from any device with a built-in mic for hands-free-calling. You can even connect multiple devices simultaneously. All you need is an audio jack, which come built in to most cars made in the last decade.

If you are looking to replace your stereo all-together, we recommend buying Apple CarPlay (or Android version). Even though it costs relatively more than other item on our list, this digital media receiver is worth the price. It’s sleek, stylish, user-friendly, and it connects effortlessly to any Apple and Android devices. The sound quality is 6.5 times higher than a CD and you can save all your acoustic preferences. Use any app on your smartphone through this stereo with a one-year warranty. It’s incredibly easy to install and will boost the sound of your factory speakers.

Amps provide a superior level of clarity and volume to your current sound system. Even if you aren’t prone to blasting your music, an amp will allow you to hear individual instruments more clearly than before. That’s precisely why we love the Boss Riot Amp. With 1100 watts of total power this affordable amp is great for first-time buyers. With a wired remote subwoofer control, it’s easy to adjust bass levels. And with low and high-level inputs, it’s equally easy to add to your vehicle’s sound system. The Boss comes with a six-year warranty.

 

5. Car Vitalizer App (27.99, no risk 3-day trial)
