The speakers in my Ford are pretty pathetic. They barely get above a conversational volume. How can I make my car speakers louder without an amp?

Not every car has the greatest sound system in the world, but that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it or spend heaps of money. If you want to make your car speakers louder without an amp, here are some tips you can try:
  • Dampen the car noise. Oftentimes, it’s ambient noise that makes our car speakers sound so weak. You will need to add insulators to your car to help block out road and engine noise.
  • Buy a subwoofer.
  • Purchase an external speaker.
  • Replace the wire connections to your speakers.
Each of these tips should help you get some decent sound out of your car speakers. But if you still aren’t satisfied, you may want to look into installing a sound system. If you do, be sure to report the installation to your
car insurance
company to see if you can get it covered under your policy.
If the addition of your sound system raises your premium, consider shopping for a better-priced policy with the
