3 Ways To Upgrade Your Car Audio System

There's nothing better than getting a new car and taking it on that first drive. The windows are down, wind is blowing through your hair, and your music is playing as loud as it can go. Sure, factory installed car audio systems are generally okay, but that's just it—they're just okay, not amazing. For many drivers, music is the only thing that keeps their road rage at bay during rush hour. So it's important that you have an audio system that is reliable and sounds the best it possibly can. If you're interested in improving your car audio, here are a few essential things you'll need to get to make your system the best it can be.

Car Audio Speaker

Speakers are really essential to getting your sound where it needs to be. It's always a good idea to upgrade you car speaker. A good car speaker has a higher frequency response, which means that more music comes through them. They also have more power handling abilities, and will sharpen the highs and deepen the lows in the music. Higher Frequency response means that your car speaker is more protected, as having them under-powered can damage them.

There are two types of car speaker on the market today. There are Dual Cone car speaker and the Two-way car speaker. The Dual Cone has a small paper cone built into a larger cone. A two-way mounts a separate tweeter on the larger cone which creates better sounds quality and a higher frequency response.

Car Audio Amplifiers

Amplifiers are really the backbone of your stereo system. Weak car amplifiers can damage good car audio speakers. Car audio amplifiers provide the musical power, eliminate distortion, and upgrade the sound quality. The size of the car audio amplifiers is proportionate to the power you want from your car audio system. A way to test if car amplifiers are good, is to put them at half-volume and see if you can still hear clear amplification. The more power you have from your amp, the more control you have over your system.

Car Audio Woofer

Subwoofers are always a great addition to an aftermarket car audio system. They really accentuate the bass in music and give it that full, booming sound. Car audio subwoofers come in a variety of sizes. The most common sizes include 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch car audio subwoofers. The larger the subwoofer, the lower frequency it will produce. When looking at car audio subwoofers, you should take note of the sensitivity, or how much power you want going into the speakers. The higher the power, the it is better for your speakers. Another aspect of car audio subwoofers that is important to consider when comparing them, is the maximum wattage RMS. Max wattage RMS is how much power the subwoofer can handle. Obviously, the more power they can handle, the more sound they can produce. Hopefully this bit of information on these crucial car audio components has helped you in the selection process. In conclusion, remember to choose a system that fits not only your car's dimensions, but the dimensions of your budget as well. Good Luck!

Can I hook my car subwoofer up to my home audio receiver?

I know that most home audio receivers are 8 ohms, well I have a dual voice coil sub and each is rated at 4 ohms, so if I wire it to 8 ohms like this - http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42 - Would I be able to plug my sub directly into the back of my audio receiver in my house?

hey yes u can
