Most people nowadays prefer to go for all the flashy add-ons when they shop around for a car audio system, but there are still those who opt for the minimalistic version. While AM/FM radios and cassette players were common in older car models, the norm at present is to boast a CD or MP3 player.

If you are getting a CD player to replace your old car audio deck, you don’t have to replace the entire system. You can retain the old speakers, but be sure you get your CD player pre-amped with the existing speakers.
