Car Audio - Eco Friendly Technology

 Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about going green in an effort to keep our environment safe and sound. May industries have taken aggressive actions towards this type of campaign by re-engineering their products to make them environmentally safe. The car audio industry was one of the strong supports and they introduced new technologies that take the industry to a new level of maintaining a green environment.

2010 was a very busy year for the car audio manufacturers. They have deployed new techniques that will better benefit the environment and the consumer. Car enthusiasts will be interested in upgrading and customizing their vehicles more than ever due to the advanced technologies that were implement in new 2010 audio line.

 Since headunits are considered to be one of the most important car audio components, well known manufacturers added new functionalities that will help provide better fuel consumption and efficiency. Name brand navigation units are equipped with a built-in Eco-friendly navigation feature which monitors your car's impact on the environment. This revolutionary technology will make the driver aware of his/her car's fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and fuel prices. The Eco friendly navigation sends recommendation on how to optimize fuel usage for better a driving experience.

 Car stereos weren't the only thing to be enhanced, but also subwoofers. Car subwoofers are widely used among enthusiasts in an effort to improve their car's bass quality and depth. What most of them don't know is that these heavy gears take a lot of resources and vehicle space to be able to produce powerful sound. The first thing that engineers have done is to reduce sub size without sacrificing performance. They were finally able to reduce the mounting depth by 20% which helped installers to fit these new subs in any location even in small cars. By reducing the magnet size, manufacturers were able to use fewer materials when making car speakers without sacrificing performance.

 Amplifiers also went thought many modifications. The 2010 amps are now loaded with new technologies that will allow them to produce more power for a longer time. Newer amplifiers need less power when boosting up due to circuitry additions and optimization. If you are used to own a bulky amplifier, you will be impressed with the newly designed ones. Amplifier's chassis was reduced to occupy less truck space, reduce fuel consumption and battery resources. Since overheating is a common issue for amps, some manufacturers provided an efficient heat management mechanism to keep it running cool all the time.

The car audio industry has gone through serious modifications to their product lines to make them run efficiently without taking a lot of resources. Car enthusiasts can now customize and personalize their car's sound system and get the most out every penny they spend. It's time for other industries to take action towards cleaner environment by producing products that take less power and require fewer resources.

Car Audio Mistakes

Many people just spend too much and in some cases go into debt. What can make this particular situation worse is that people go into debt for a system they realize they do not even like. First, figure out how much money there is available to spend. Then decide how much of the car audio system needs to be replaced. At this point plan a budget - how much can you afford to spend? Therefore you can locate system components in your price range. Deciding what is most important in the car audio system and plan to spend more on the important items. Going over budget is the first and most common mistake car audio system buyers make.

Another thing to consider is how much of the car is going to need to be modified for your potential choices. For example, some speaker installation will require many modifications to be made to the car. Modifications will need to be made by a professional and therefore you will have to budget into the total cost of the car audio system parts as well as labor. Another car audio systems mistake is that the owner of the car does not think about the future. How long are you going to keep the car for? Will you sell the car with the new audio system or will you remove it before sale? Remember audio systems never increase the value of a car enough to balance

what was spent on the audio system in the first place. Also, if you plan on remove the system before you sell the car that could be problematic. Having a radio and an audio system are high priorities when people are searching for a new car to buy.

When and for what do you use the car for? If the car sees a lot of use as well as wear and tear, then buying higher quality components like the car speakers is a great idea. Understandably, if you are spending more time in your car then at home you want to make sure it is as comfortable and entertaining as possible. However, if the car is only used for weekly shopping, low end parts are more appropriate.

Another car audio system mistake people make is choosing a system, which is not appropriate for the type of music they listen too. This is probably the most important factor, which should influence the choice of the right car audio system. If the music that you enjoy is strong, bass beats then a high-end

power amplifier is needed. In addition, subwoofers would also be a good choice. However, if your music choice is at the opposite end of the music range then you will need a different audio system setup. For example, if you listen to classical music or trendy pop music, you will need to get a car audio that has a strong speaker system that offer even play of the sound spectrum.

looking reference to buy a car audio system design

When you’re looking to buy a car audio system, only seek out stores where you can test speakers beforehand.  Usually it helps to bring along some of your favorite music, to see how it sounds on that system.  This way you ensure that you get a sound system that can hit the range of the music you’ll be listening to.  Always test before you buy, otherwise you could end up with a system that just doesn’t get the job done.

Also consider which type of music you listen to, to get the most out of your car audio system.  If you listen to bass heavy music, you’ll need a system that features good subwoofers to really get that deep punch.  If you listen to your music loudly, you’ll want an amplifier to deliver more power to your speakers for great bursts of sound.  But any car audio system that you purchase needs to have a fantastic equalizer.  Your stereo’s equalizer is the unsung hero of any sound system, and you need one fully rated to create the proper frequencies for all speakers to work in perfect harmony. This is actually your most important tool, and where you should look to spend the most money.

Also, consider how much you’re going to want to be spending overall.  Working out a budget before you start shopping is the best idea so that you don’t get dragged into items that you don’t really need.  Remember that a high end car audio system is a big investment, so you should be prepared to go well into the hundreds of dollars.  If you just want a basic set of speakers to upgrade what your car originally implemented, you can find a nice set for fairly cheap, usually around the low hundreds.  Remember that which components you choose have a big factor on price as well.  More speakers is going to mean much higher cost.

music or the radio car design

 

 Picking the right car audio system on your budget is important, so that you’ll be fully satisfied when listening to music or the radio.  Not finding the right set up will mean lackluster sound when listening to your favorite songs, which can leave you disappointed.  So avoiding this is key, so that you’re completely happy on your daily commute.  Remember that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good sound system, really all you need is to shop intelligently.

The main thing to understand is that a sound system is only as good as the sum of it’s parts.  This is important to understand, because most people have the perception that buying the most expensive speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers are the best way to go.  But really, none of that is going to matter if you don’t have a complete system that works well together.  The most important factor that you should consider is finding a sound system that’s perfectly voice matched, and guaranteed to work in harmony.  Otherwise, no matter how much money you spend, you’re not going to like the results.

Cheap in cost, cheap in quality

After spending most of your budget on purchasing the car audio system that you desire, next that you need to consider is the wiring kit. Though cheap products makes you save, do not sacrifice the quality of your wiring kit or any other accessories as these are also important component s and must be of a good standard. If you have an amplifier, the power wire must be of the right sized and can be able to handle the correct load. Particularly, with lower loads, such as 1 or 2 ohms, because this is lower than the required.

Capacitors, the wrong perception

The capacitor has been used to store energy and keep the flow more balanced. And many car audio owners have adopted a capacitor in their system to power their amplifier. However, the wrong perception here is, it will eventually improve the sound quality. But this is terribly not true. This is to simply too strong for their car’s power to handle causing the batteries’ energy to quickly deplete. This results of having less energy for the rest of the car. One of the effects of this is having dimmed headlights. Therefore, it will never enhance your sound quality but rather stop your lights from dimming.

One setting is to all

Boosters and crossovers are at one point can enhance sound quality. However, if setting it to all your stereo and amplifier, this will actually cause the frequency to be misaligned, rather than aligned. Thus, for instance, if you would want to boost your bass, you must also only do this on one component only. Otherwise you will increase the distortion from your subsystems or worse ending up damaging them.

Avoid the possible things that would damage or put your car into a worse situation and rather just improve your system properly. There are a lot of materials everywhere. Feel free to research. But to sum it up, to fully improve your stereo’s sound quality you will need to invest in a quality system and accessories.
