Are Your Ready To Go Hands-Free?
It's obvious that drivers aren't just going to hang up and drive in California and Washington come July 1, but there are many bluetooth hands-free options available for talking legally and driving. The simplest and cheapest option is to use a speakerphone if your phone has one, or a wired earpiece. But both of these options have some disadvantages. With a speakerphone, it might be hard for the person on the other end to hear you over road and wind noise, and wired earpieces can be disturbing while driving. Below are more options to consider.
Bluetooth Stereos
Aftermarket car audio manufacturers started providing add-on Bluetooth adapters for their head units a few years back, but many now sell radios with the technology built in. So if you are upgrading your car stereo, consider one with built-in Bluetooth capability. The Pioneer's DEH-P700BT, which can pair with up to three different phones, is a great example of that.

Custom Subwoofer Boxes (sealed Vs Ported)
When selecting a subowofer box (custom subwoofer box), the decision between sealed and ported will decide how the final install will sound. The universal rule for this choice is quite easy.
Sealed subwoofer boxes usually are much smaller than ported boxes. If you have a limited space in your car, it would most likely be a good idea to go with a sealed enclosure. Not only is there a size distinction, but there is also a difference in sound between the two boxes. Sealed enclosures tend to produce tight, precise bass and have a flat frequency response curve. They are also usually the enclosure of choice when looking for a Sound Quality oriented setup.
Custom Subwoofer Boxes include:
Dodge Subwoofer box - Ford Subwoofer Enclosures - Toyota Subwoofer box
