A car is a great place to enjoy music on wheels. Nowadays, no drivers can imagine a car without a music system. Listen to favourite songs, cool your mind and you enjoy your drive. As the famous German Philosopher once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” When you are driving and you try to listen to music or tune up to the radio, you expect to hear it clearly.
A perfect stereo system gives you flawless clarity and an awesome atmosphere to drive kilometers and kilometers. People who love music will definitely upgrade the audio system; if the sound clarity is not to the mark. It is seen most of the people have invested lots on upgrading the car audio system, still they are a bit unsatisfied. Keep in mind, don’t just invest money, but, invest money to get the best quality output.
Queries from most of the drivers are: how can I make my car audio sound better? The main reason for upgrading a car audio system is: due to non-crystal clear sound. Are you planning to buy an impressive car audio system that meets your needs?
1. Do an analysis on what kind of speaker you want
Figure out your requirements. Some people like to hear music with a big bass, but some others love mild music. . Expectations vary from person to person.
Instead of going and purchasing any speaker and later finding out it is not of your preference; is a major waste of money and time. Figure out things in accordance to your preference.
Some tasks, if performed, help you in determining whether a car audio system upgrade is required or not. Sit in a completely closed vehicle. Turn on your music system and listen carefully. Increase the music volume to higher than normal. Check if you are able to hear trembling or hollow sounds. Check if there are any clarity issues. Check for any music disorders. Any of these exist, then it is time to change or upgrade the car audio system.
2. Upgrade your speaker
The first and foremost option to be done is to replace the factory speakers. Most base quality speakers come installed in the car. Factory speaker’s performance and output are generally not to the mark. Even mid-range speakers show a huge difference in clarity and sound, when compared to factory speakers. Important factors while choosing speakers are:
The best car audio speakers in the market are Hertz, Audison, Ground Zero and Rockford speakers. They provide high-quality sound at an affordable price. They provide a full line of car audio speakers providing a compatible amplifier to maximize the performance. A flexible mounting system is used for installation. Versatile mounting plates and slotted speaker frames help in providing round speakers in oval cutouts.
3. Select Your Receiver
As we have chosen the speaker, next is to select the best receiver. Various models of head units are available in the market. Digital media receivers, single din head units, and double din head units are some among them. Better to go for receivers with larger touchscreens. It provides a dashing look and is easy to use. The better the digital to analog converter (DAC), the more detailed the output. Some of the features to be looked on in regards to the receiver are:
4. Upgrade your subwoofer
Subwoofers are designed in producing low-frequency sounds. Adding a subwoofer provides the best bass sound with boom effects. When subwoofers are connected, the full impact of the song performance is felt. Examples are the power of the drums, jazz music, classical music etc. Subwoofers produce bass very clear. A subwoofer helps smaller speakers to make sound with a more comfortable frequency range. Some of the factors to be kept in mind while buying a subwoofer is:
It lightens the load on full-range speakers which in turn helps in producing sound without distortion. Subwoofers have the capability to reduce distortion. The best car audio subwoofers in the market are Hertz, Audison, Ground Zero and Rockford subwoofers.
5. Selecting Amplifier
Receiver by default has a built-in amplifier. An extra amplifier will drastically boost the sound quality. The amplifier will power up the speakers leaving a dedicated channel for the subwoofer. A dedicated line is essential to get the best sound out of the subwoofer. Amplifiers with number channels are the best as it helps you to connect more components. Five channel amp is more reliable as four of the channels can be used to connect front and rear speakers, and the fifth channel can be used to power an external subwoofer.
Component Speakers Selection
Component Speakers are add-on crossover and tweeters that produce more outstanding sound quality for your music system. Component speaker installation is a complex process.
Sub box and dampening
Should be careful while selecting the subwoofer enclosure. Wrong enclosure leads to less sound performance. Sub box should be built with the right dimensions. Either customized box can be built or purchased from the market.
After all the installations are done, the last step to keep in mind is how to reduce the noise from the outside environment. Sound deadening kills the unwanted sound in your car system. It should be installed to the car interior so as to make the outside environment noise quiet. Using sound proof car insulating materials, we can enjoy the music to the maximum. The outside noise disturbance is not going to affect you while listening to your favourite music. People who like complete silence also can enjoy it by installing this system to the car walls. One of the top deadening sheets is Damplifier Pro. It is available at an affordable price, and easy to install.
