Tips For Purchasing And Installing An Audio Car System
There's no right or wrong way to put in an Audio Car System. It's up to the end user to decide how much or how far they want to go. Is it a matter of putting a little more oomph into the existing stereo? Or is there a desire to put in trunk rattling bass to irk the neighbors? There's plenty of items on the market to choose from.
Before even considering which brand of replacement radio to purchase, look at the car's acoustics. If you're really serious about what is going to go into the vehicle then sound absorption should be first on the list. Products like Dynamat provide a sound absorption barrier between the exterior and the interior of the car. As in "nothing gets in, nothing gets out." In the most extreme of installs, road noise is eliminated in the car's cabin, while someone on the outside will have no idea that the volume's turned up to 11. Average installs can get away with putting a section around the new speakers.
The head unit is the next purchase on the list. It brings the entire system together, speakers, sub-woofers and amplifiers. Most car audio units will drive four to six speakers in the vehicle. Manufacturers also keep up with the Jones in terms of the technology that's standard on the units. Many are available with USB ports and CD players that read MP3 files. Auxiliary jacks for plugging in an iPod or other brand of MP3 player can be had. And many have satellite radio capability on board. There is, literally, many items that are being stuffed into one unit these days. No more being stuck with AM/FM/Cassette/CD.
Speakers are what make the noise and are ultimately what provides the pleasure for the listener. Be sure to have the correct size speaker unless you're planning on modifying the current mount. Quality sound can be had in small speakers so resist the urge to purchase something larger thinking that bigger is better. If at all possible, go to a shop that has the products you're interested in and listen. If you're satisfied with what you hear in the store, you'll be happy with what you'll hear in the vehicle. It's a good rule of thumb to put the bass speakers in the rear and the trebles in the front. The sound will circulate and mix to provide a balanced listening experience. Setting up an audio car system isn't difficult. It's what makes the end user happy, whether it be heavy bass for listening to Snoop or balanced highs and lows to enjoy Beethoven's 5th.
