There’s nothing like good music on a cool day while driving your car. Music can improve your day, and it is suitable for your brain, but one way to optimize your car audio experience is by getting a good car audio system. However, we know that some people may have no idea what to look for as all they really know is that they want to enjoy good music. You may not even know what you are missing until you get a better audio system. This is why this article will delve into all you need to know to get the audio system of your dreams.
There is so much high-tech equipment out there; they’re not even as expensive as you think. But some car manufacturers don’t even put the best audio system into their cars, so you should first evaluate the audio system in your vehicle.
This isn’t hard. All you do is:
- Look for a cool place to park your car
- Turn on the A/C (if you have)
- Close the doors and windows
- Turn your favorite music on. Make it as loud as your ears can accept.
- Now listen carefully
What you should be checking is how the sound is. Are the voices of the singers clear enough? Do you hear the bass well? Are you hearing everything clearly? Don’t beat yourself up because you don’t even need to be a music expert to notice sound that is less than optimal. Check the bass and treble and see how it is. If the bass sounds hollow, then there’s a problem; if the treble is not clear enough, then there’s also a problem.
After you have found the issue, you move on to the next stage. Here you will consider things such as
- Your budget
- If you want to change the entire system or still leave the factory stereo
- How loud do you like your music
- If you really like bass in your music
Actually, considering all of this will help you move on the right path. Now, let’s discuss the parts of the car audio system you can upgrade.
1. Speakers
This may just be the most important part of the audio system because if it’s bad, the car audio will not sound good. There will be distortion and lack of clarity in high sounds. If it’s bad, you can easily replace them with better coaxial speakers made with better materials.
2. Amplifiers
Sometimes the issue can be from the amplifier. A sophisticated amplifier would make your music sound good even if the speaker is not high-performance.
3. Subwoofers
This is not as important as the amplifiers and speakers, but it can be the difference between a good bass sound and an awesome bass sound. The best way to check how good the subwoofer is by checking how strong and clear the bass presence is in loud volumes.
Once you are done accessing this, the next thing to do is to start making plans for replacement.
