The Making of a Good Car Audio
Installing a car stereo is not as easy as you think. Many first-time installers make mistakes that result in a substandard installation or a bad sound quality. Before you take your car to a shop to have a stereo system installed, below are some of the factors that you need to consider!
Model of the Car
This is one of the things you should consider because it can greatly affect the performance of your car’s audio system. Next to this, you should also consider the make and model of your car. Are you planning to install a DVD player, an input jack, or a subwoofer? A lot of these features require a specific type of wiring so you should start by asking your technician about it.
Location
The location of your new car stereo system is important. It will have an impact on the functionality of the entire stereo system, which means that the location of your system must be designed to enhance the design and functionality of your car. If you have a high-tech car, look for a unit that has buttons and features that are hidden by an in-dash screen and head unit. If your car has a clean and simple design, opt for a subwoofer unit that is placed under the front passenger seat and hidden by your floor mat. However, if your car is retro and old-fashioned, adding a subwoofer in the trunk is acceptable.
Subwoofer and Amplifier Combinations
The subwoofer and amplifier combinations are important, as well as the balance between them. If you want your speakers to output the best sound quality, choose a subwoofer that has an amplifier to increase the bass output. Look for a subwoofer that has a powerful amplifier so that you don’t experience clipping or distortion. Most subwoofers can produce deep bass notes, but if your current subwoofer does not have the necessary power, choose an amplifier that offers powerful output for the subwoofer.
Speaker Bass Quality
The quality of the bass output will differ depending on the type of speakers that your system uses. Mid-range speakers tend to have a flat output, while high-range speakers have a round output as they move up to higher frequencies. Bass-midrange speakers are ideal because they are flat down to 20 Hz. High-range speakers have a flat output of up to 10 kHz. If you want to change the characteristics of the sound output, try different types of speakers.
Maintenance Schedule
Aside from the make and model, you also have to consider the maintenance schedule of your car. What are the regular care and maintenance procedures that you have to perform? When is your car due for its next scheduled checkup? You have to remember that all car parts are vulnerable to damage and that repairing or replacing them immediately after an accident is the best course of action.
