For high-quality music reproduction, a car is a bad place. The space is limited, the listener is asymmetrical in relation to the speakers. The sound from the left speakers reaches the driver faster than the right ones. The interior panels of the vehicle are good at reflecting sound, while the upholstered headlining and seats absorb sound waves. There are a lot of extraneous sounds in the car (panel bounce, driving noise). Therefore, the sound from the speakers undergoes a lot of changes, and it is extremely difficult to choose the acoustics.
Instructions
Step 1
The audio system in the car is a very complex complex. For the sound to be of high quality, it is important to correctly select all the components of the speaker system, taking into account the characteristics of a particular car. The end result depends on the correct selection of all components. Even the best audio system can be ruined by a minor detail, such as the signal source or connecting wires. When choosing speakers, pay attention to the case. Tap it. If you hear a release after the impact, it means that the body is poorly damped. Such speakers are not worth buying. This is not a guitar body, whose task is to resonate with the strings.
Step 2
Check the bottom and back panel of the speaker (hole - bass reflex port). Turn on the sound (it is desirable that the bass components sound), and ask the seller to close or open the holes with his hand. Move yourself a short distance. If you do not hear the difference in sound, then the bass reflex port of these speakers does not work. The speakers will produce poor quality sound.
Step 3
Get a subwoofer. A subwoofer is a dedicated speaker that is designed to reproduce low frequencies. The noise of the road in a moving car drowns out this very low frequency range. Very compact subwoofers are now available that can even be installed under the seat. For example, a 13 cm subwoofer Focal 13WS.
Step 4
Signal source. Modern cars are equipped with a standard CD-receiver (CD-player, radio and built-in amplifier). Usually the power of these built-in amplifiers is not high enough, there is no way to connect them to external amplifiers. Therefore, if you decide to replace the acoustics, replace the standard "head" or modify it to connect external amplifiers.
Step 5
To test the midrange - the most expensive and most important speaker in your system, put on a classical music CD. Enjoy the fidelity of the sound. Connect a second speaker and experience the depth and breadth of the sound.
