Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Determine your budget. The lower end of Kicker speakers can be less than $75 while the most expensive speakers will run several hundred. Don't allow yourself to be tempted in the store. Take the time before you get there to decide how much you can afford to spend.

2. Look without a salesperson. While you may want to ask questions, avoid the sales person when you first go into the store. Read through the descriptions and check out how the speakers look. In a quality stereo store, they will have Kicker speakers on display. You will be able to hear them playing. Make a note of the speaker model numbers you like and the price in the store.

3. Go online. The Internet opens up the opportunity for you to do all types of research. Compare the prices you find (including shipping in your calculations) for various sites and check out reviews from customers about the Kicker car speakers you are considering. Read reviews in magazines from professionals as well and weigh the good and bad for each model number to determine which ones you want to get.

4. Head back to the store. When you return, ask all of the questions you have. Find out if this store does installations and how much they will be. Ask about warranties and guarantees on work. Find out anything specific about the Kicker car speakers that you need to know. This purchase is a pretty big financial investment if you are getting your entire car done. It will benefit you to find everything out now.

5. Make your purchase. Once you have done all of the research you think is necessary, go ahead and get the speakers. Have them installed professionally or do it yourself if you are particularly confident in your abilities. After making a careful decision, you should be happy with the result of your speakers.
