Car Audio 101: What Are Subwoofers?

Customizing your car’s audio can be a fun and fulfilling vehicle modification, but before you get started, you’ll need to know about the different audio options that are available to you. In this short article, we’ll help you learn more about subwoofers so you can determine if this audio addition is right for your car stereo system. What Is a Subwoofer? Subwoofers are a type of speaker that delivers the lowest frequencies, often referred to as the bass. These frequencies come in at 20 to 200 Hz. A traditional two-channel or surround sound setup cannot deliver this on its own. If you want to enhance your car stereo, you would need to install subwoofers to enjoy these additional frequencies. These lower frequencies are often produced by kick drums, bass guitars, pipe organs, and some sound effects. Do I Need a Subwoofer? Whether or not you need subwoofers for your car stereo system depends on your goals for the system. Not everyone wants to hear enhanced bass, but many people do. If you frequently listen to bass-heavy music, you’ll definitely want a car stereo system that accommodates that music and delivers it in the best quality possible. If you listen to this music without subwoofers, you are missing out on the full listening experience. Do Subwoofers Help My System? Yes, subwoofers will relieve the heavy lifting from the main sound system by redirecting low frequencies. This means that the main system can better deliver other sounds. Working together properly, this creates a better-sounding car stereo system. Where Do I Install Subwoofers? Subwoofers can be placed pretty much anywhere, but ideally, in a vehicle, they would be in the back window or back seat. To determine the best possible installation location, you should consult with a car stereo professional. They will be

If you want to add some subwoofers to your bike’s audio system, or just a state-of-the-art stereo, now’s a perfect time to do so! Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits that come with a top-of-the-line sound system for your motorcycle. Increased Enjoyment There’s nothing like heading out on the road on a beautiful summer day! When you add a stereo system to your bike, the experience becomes even better. Take a look at some of the options that are available, you’ll likely be surprised at just how much they can enhance your riding experience. The sound of the open road does hold its own appeal, but being tuned in to riders, weather, road conditions, and entertainment is also great. Voice Navigation and Bluetooth Connectivity When you’re traveling long distances with a partner, the ability to communicate is important. This communication can range from discussing road connections, navigation, or where to stop for lunch. Being able to talk with your passenger is a lot easier with a headset wired through your sound system. You’ll also be able to utilize voice navigation apps while traveling alone. Bluetooth connectivity is another great bonus that comes with adding a new sound system to your bike. Don’t underestimate how much communication is improved when you and your rider don’t have to try to scream over the sound of the engine to hear each other. Boost in Overall Motorcycle Value Owning a motorcycle provides a lot of enjoyment and enriching experiences, but it’s also an investment.

You Need Car Amplifiers: Here’s Why

For the beginning audiophile, an “amplifier” might sound like what you plug an electric guitar into, and in a sense it is. An amplifier, broadly, is a device that makes an audio or other electronic signal larger and clearer before it reaches its final output device. A car amplifier amplifies the sound signal coming out of your car stereo before it gets to your speakers. The car audio market is projected to hit 13.52 billion dollars by 2028, according to GlobeNewswire. Here are some ways that a car amplifier will improve your driving experience. Louder Sound, No Distortion A huge part of getting car amplifiers installed is greater headroom. Headroom is the amount of volume you can pump through your amplifier before the signal begins to break up and distort. With more headroom, you can put more energy into your speakers and get clearer, louder, stronger sounds than before. Tubes and Solid-State The conventional wisdom is that only a tube amplifier will work. A modern solid-state amp gives incredible amplification, however, at a bargain price, and doesn’t add the extreme heat of a tube system to your car. Get the Most Out Of Your Speakers Remember that to truly get the most out of your speakers, you will need to know how much power your amplifier can safely draw from your alternator. A 65-amp alternator can drive a 540-watt amp, for example. Bigger alternators, like in a truck system or a sports car, can drive appropriately bigger car amplifiers and more powerful stereo systems. You Love Your Music A car amplifier is the best way to quickly increase the signal power going to your speakers. With the added power and clarity, you’ll hear new highs and lows that you never heard before in your car stereo system. If you love
