Jensen MPR Would you need your receiver to be able to control your portable audio device such as an iPod or those that run on Android or iOS platforms?
Would you want a receiver with an integrated video screen that can play almost any video file format? In such cases, would an in-dash system work fine or will you need headrest video systems as well for your passengers at the back?
How about the ability to play louder sounds without distortions? Identifying what you want your stereo receiver to do should help you improve the way you listen to music and other sounds in your car. If your receiver is fine, then you can focus on the speakers.
Remember what we mentioned about testing the audio system of your car? If your car speakers are working fine when your vehicle is stationary or on a gentle cruise, but turns ugly as you hit the highway drowning out the sound and creating way too many distortions, then it is highly likely that you only need to add power to the speakers.
However, if you have a speaker system that is so bad even when your car is completely still, you have no other choice but to replace your speakers. Majority of factory-installed speakers come with cheap materials that are mostly made of thin, lightweight paper. Even so-called premium OEM speakers can distort and wear down a lot faster than dedicated, high-performance aftermarket speakers.
You may have bought your car brand-new and its speaker sounded really good, but its quality substantially drops over time. Aftermarket speakers provide you with better-quality materials allowing you to improve the quality of the sound produced, from well-defined trebles to deeper bass.
These speakers are also a lot more affordable than getting a brand new receiver. You can always pick full-range car speakers which can already give you a combination of subwoofer, tweeter, and midrange. This type of car speaker system should easily fit into the existing audio locations of your car. However, if you are really bent on turning your car into a mobile boombox or concert stage, then it is best to invest in component speakers complete with separate tweeters and subwoofers.
This is the job for the best car amplifiers in town. As the name implies, a car stereo amplifier strengthens the volume of your speakers without necessarily affecting sound quality and creating unnecessary distortions. What it does is that it takes the electronic signals coming from the receiver and charges this to amplify or increase the power of the signal.
Sometimes, listening to louder music is not enough. There are some of us who would also like to feel the beat, adding depth to the music that reaches our ears. These acoustic devices give you rich and deep low notes that you would not otherwise appreciate from your full-range car stereo speakers.
You may have more than one depth measurement if you're mounting your box to an angled surface i. Make sure you take into account the space you will need to place the box in the vehicle. If you have 40" of width behind the back seat but only a 36" trunk opening then you might have a problem. You can use computer software if you don't want to do the math by hand. It's good for wedge boxes too and can save some time. Highly recommended. Now consult the specification sheet to see how much space your subwoofers of choice need.
You may find that you don't have enough air space and need to choose a different subwoofer or a lesser quantity of subwoofers. If you have more space than you need common you have to decide what dimensions the extra space will be subtracted from. Do you want to make the box less wide, less tall or less deep? For a trunk installation I usually maximize the height and minimize the depth. Then I take off some of the width if necessary. This maximizes the usable cargo space once the enclosure is installed.
Be sure you have enough mounting depth for your woofer and that your box isn't too tall to slide into the trunk. You might test fit a piece of cardboard cut to the same size as your box's height and depth dimensions. Width won't matter for this test.
If you can't slide the template into the trunk without twisting it then you need to lower your height until you can. Some rear seats fold down and you may be able to slide the box in this way instead. Once you have all of the dimensions you can either manually determine the box pieces needed or use a computer program. Once you have all of your pieces cut, your last step is to assemble it. It shows how to assemble an enclosure from scratch using nothing more sophisticated than a power drill and a jig saw for cutting the woofer opening.
It also covers carpeting of the enclosure. Getting Your System Components to Work Together In order to get the most out of your custom car audio system you need to do a little planning.
