How to assemble an inexpensive system that sounds? Experience to create
How can I make a candy from Aries?
Wrap in a beautiful fan and splash spirits.
Here is a surprise.
Looking at the epigraph, you might think that the master conceived to blind a miracle and suggest him of car audio. You should respect your readers to respect.
Quite often, the question arises from the beginner connoisseurs of car audio: "How to put music in the car inexpensively and to sound?" Here it may be useful to the experience of the blog of the blog.
Are you a weak link?
First, remember the article in it shows the attitude of a person to music in the car. Find your classification. It will be useful.
Now about the composition of the system. You can prepare your tomatoes and swunging eggs, but with foam to prove that "Better Mystery does not happen in the world."
Let's decide right away. At all times good system The initial level was worth the bucks. Check by choosing components. We will take prices from the Internet, medium, the price of work in the same place, in brackets.
Head unit or head in the people.
We need such parameters:
a. Two linear outputs to output the sound to the amplifier.
b. CD, MP3, WMA.
in. AUX and USB inputs.
the price is not more expensive than 5000 p.
On Yandex-Market costs from 3640 to 4600 rubles. And fulfills its tasks. It is clear that in the market or in the store this amount may be more. Suppose 5000 p. (Work from 500 r., Depending on where to install)
It is clear that it can be a JVC KD-R417EE, it is cheaper, but there is one way out to the amplifier. And he is not a subwoofer.
You will need a copper wire with a cross section from 4 square meters., Stranded, domestic - to power the radio. Plus is carried out from the battery. At the beginning of the journey, in the cut of the wire, the shoe is put with a knife-type fuse by 20 amps. Mass can be taken from any threaded connection with the nut, or also pull from the battery. 200 r. (The cost can enter the installation of the radio, and may be separate - from 300 p.)
Love the radio to listen? Do not forget about the inner antenna "Bosch" or "Calearo". 500-800 p. (From 200 p.)
Front acoustics.
From what sounds and costs its money is a component acoustics with a diameter of 16 cm. About 4700r. (From 500 p.)
Let in your opinion she is dear, but ... Pluses a lot, starting with the fact that they play well even from the radio, not to mention how their sound from the amplifier is improved. Acoustic wires included, which is also important.
Noise insulation of the front doors.
Minimum:
5 sheets of vibroplast m2 0.7x0.5 m. (Let one remain if the doors are small)
Spilled 4 mm. - 1 sheet 1x1.5 m.
Bitoplast 5 mm. - 1 sq.m.
All pleasure is 1600 r. (From 1000 p. Work) approximately. Clauses so:
Rings or podiums under acoustics.
Rings from 200 p. (From 200 r.) For a couple, if single and not covered with material. Podiums - from 2000 p. (From 500 p.) More or less worthy made by car. The cost of podiums sometimes comes to tens of thousands, but we will talk about it in the next article about a more solid kit.
Amplifier.
The amplifier must be taken immediately with the calculation of the front acoustics, when each channel works on its own speaker, including tweeter (squeezing). Choosing from cheap, for 3 with a penny thousand you can, but it makes sense only when you have a penny of the shaggy year, on which the whole area went.
From the most folk and sound amplifiers, the 4 channel DLS MA41 comes to mind. This is such an amplifier who is not ashamed to show your friends. Yes, and the cost of him is worthy, 7900 r. Not enough, but not much for such quality. (Installation - from 1100 p.)
The amplifier needs good strength wires. From the branded can be advised by Sound Quest 4 GA - from 1300 p. For 5-6 meters, from domestic - PV3 or kg - choose a normal one by section from 10 square meters., Copper, and not painted aluminum. On domestic, you can save five hundred rubles, I do not argue, but you must adhere to the principle of doctors: "do not harm." The mass per amplifier must be screwed under the seat belt bolt for better contact.
But on the inter-block wires from the radio to the amplifier, in common "rules", it is not worth saving. Stinger "Bullet", Rockford Fosgate, Sound Quest will be the right link in your system, which I can not say about Mystery - this is really a "weak link"! One branded line with a pair of "tulips" (there are such connectors, there is almost any sound-reproducing equipment) costs from 700 to ... rubles. (Linek laying is usually included in the value of the amplifier setup)
You can save a little on the sub interbocking, but do not go to the level of the current level - the sound does not forgive it. 500 and more rubles.
It is worth recalling that the "line" and "power" must be carried out separately, on different "sides" of the car, in order not to no interference. At first, you have a booster to work a couple of channels to the front, another pair in the bridge connection - on the sub.
Music has essential importance in every person's life. Scientists have already proved once again that various music can change the emotional state of a person. Then here, then there in the press and on the Internet appear interesting Facts about her. Many love music, and therefore the audio system in the car is a rather important thing, maybe even the second after comfort in the cabin. Today, many different systems are proposed: from luxury and audiophile to budget and standard, but the sound quality also depends on the setting and proper installation.
About regular audio
Unfortunately, regular audio is far from ideal, if not talking about "lexus" or BMW. Take at least the dynamics in the doorway. It is difficult to achieve at least a little decent sound, and the reviews about them more often negative. Users say that when working dynamics, the door and plastic casing begin to vibrate strongly. In the home body is rather tough, so there are no vibrations there. To avoid such problems, manufacturers remove frequencies that cause vibrations. This is then done so that the production of the car was as cheaper as possible. In this case, you do not have to make the door tougher. But it happens even in self-respecting manufacturers.
For many others, everything is different. For example, the speaker is not installed on a metal in the door, but on a flip coverage. In addition, these are not even from the budget segment, but frankly cheap and poor-quality. Do you need to say that such an audio system in the car goes under the replacement immediately at how many listening and the taste of a car enthusiast?
Types of existing systems
Today you can highlight two types of equipment that is responsible for the sound in the car. So, there are component systems and coaxial. Mallomanian drivers prefer component systems, as it is believed that they are more perfect. Coaxial equipment goes into the past, because it is not capable of providing good or at least normal sound.
What is component
This acoustics is the speakers placed separately. If you hold them proper installationYou can achieve a unique effect of presence. The driver will hear every tool. Even an inexpensive audio system in the car will be able to provide high sound quality. Among the common sets, two low and mid-frequency speakers can be distinguished, as well as two high-frequency. More dear systems Have additionally subwoofers.
Coaxial equipment
Unlike here, all speakers are collected in one case. The simplest column may consist of at all from one speaker. The advantage of this acoustics is in a simpler installation, in addition, the consumer likes the cost. This sound is used now, but it is popular with those who do not matter who sound quality. You can see this equipment in minibuses, trucks, cheap passenger cars.
Types and size of speakers
If you need a good audio system into the car, then the acquisition of one high quality does not work here. Sound is a complex of equipment. When choosing, it is advised to pay attention not to the form, but on the size of the speakers in it. Often, most cars already have regular loudspeakers, the dimensions of which are 10, 13 and 16 cm. This if the speaker has a round shape. There is also a place of 15 x 23 cm if the form is oval.
Good sound is the right installation
Yes exactly. For example, vibrations are very harmful to the mid-frequency speakers. They should be fixed as hard as possible. Then you can count on a good sound. If the installation is carried out in the door, you should prepare a car in advance. This will help achieve normal sound quality. If the installation of acoustics will be made in the back, then it is important to leave a little free space between the speakers and the subwoofer. Optimally if the mid-frequency speakers will be posted on rear doorsAnd the subwoofer will rise in the trunk.
High-frequency speakers better arrange ahead. To ensure sound quality, just two frontal acoustic systems and two high-frequency installed on the front racks are enough.
Professionals are recommended to mount high-frequency speakers as close as possible to the mid-frequency. However, this should cover the trim. Then these speakers are connected near the mirrors. In general, the key to high sound quality is the correct and competent installation of the audio system into the car.
The best of the best
But the best is not at all the loudest. Loud sound will never be high quality and clean, and even loud sound can easily damage the rumor. Some systems can be produced as standard for some brands, others will have to be purchased separately.
BOSE audio system in the car
This company is the discoverer in the production of stereo systems. Products are popular today. This technique in due time turned the idea of \u200b\u200bsound and design.
The full-fledged audio system of this manufacturer can be heard in Maybach. There is a regular system. The sound quality can be safely compared with a living concert. For many audiophiles, still a mystery, as the company made the sound of such quality, despite many interior problems. Bose Media System can be heard in Ferrari models. The system gives the perfect sound quality. Price is translated, but for real music lovers there is nothing impossible. Audio systems from this manufacturer use the most modern technologieswho change the idea of \u200b\u200bmusic.
Boston Acoustics.
This acoustics can be found in Crysler 300C. Thus, a system with a power of 360 W is able to provide maximum sound quality. Included - 7 speakers equipped with special filters and subwoofer.
Rockford Fostage.
This system can be heard in Mitsubishi Lancer. Evolution. This audio system in the car has a power of 650 W. Equipment - 9 speakers and subwoofer. The sound quality lies in good processing. The system is able to respond to changes speed \u200b\u200bregime And there can be a sound volume.
How to collect an audio system in the car: budget decision
Cheap, but sounding equipment is a reality. Let only 10 thousand rubles be on all components. At the same time, regular systems that cost more will sound worse. Installation and setting are paid separately.
So, 10 thousand. It is necessary to distribute as follows: 3.5 thousand - for the purchase of a radio, 2.5 thousand - on the front acoustics and another 3.5 - on the back. And 500 rubles. It will be for the purchase and other little things.
Budget head
Among the head devices there is a big competition at the expense of Chinese products. Reviews advise you to choose budget solutions from market leaders. Let them also be assembled in the miserable, but the sound quality is significantly higher here.
As for the functionality, this is playing sound from any media, power up to 50 W per channel, equalizer settings and other little things.
Front and rear acoustics
Here is the most difficult choice. As a budget, but at the same time a qualitative option can be purchased by Pioneer models. You can even find three-track models on sale.
Not in each car under the rear speakers there are places, but they can be embeddowed alone. For 3000 rubles. can be purchased good options With three stripes of frequencies. As an example, we recommend seeing KenwooOD products.
So easily and almost inexpensively turned out to be a budget audio system in the car. Now it remains to learn about the installation and configuration.
Installing audio in auto
Even if the car is not equipped with a regular audio system, the entire wiring is already installed by default. To mount a head device, you must remove the plug and insert the radio to the regular place. And naturally, all connectors and cables should be connected.
To set the speakers, it is necessary to prepare podiums from plywood in advance. Reviews are recommended to predetermine the phaneer with anti-nipples. Before installing, acoustic training should be made. Then the podiums are screwed to the doors, the holes are previously drilled in them. It remains only to stretch the wires and connect them at the beginning to crossovers, and then to an amplifier or radio. Nothing is not difficult, but if difficulties arise, it is better to entrust work to professionals. They know exactly how to install the audio system in the car so that the motorist is surprised by the result.
I never wrote posts, it was so necessary, I am a technician, not a writer :) But many ask in a personal, how to configure what to choose how to put. So I decided to try, maybe someone will be interested. Well, what will happen to see now on your estimates together :)
So proceed to:
Each of us is in your car, wants to feel comfortable. Comfort folds from many parameters, aesthetics, challenges, dynamics, tactile feelings, and of course music. It is for the most part that is the driver's companion. She asks loneliness on the way, reflects the emotional state of the driver, and sometimes it raises the mood. That is why many people pay great attention to improving the quality of sound and the functionality of audio equipment of their iron horse.
I will try to reveal the highlights that will help beginners to build their systems.
So, it is customary to call any audio design of the car using certain devices and various acoustic system connectivity schemes.
There are not many schemes: simple - radio and four coaxial columns, more complex, using 2 component acoustic systems, external amplifiers and subwoofer, and of course high class, using 3 component acoustic systems, several amplifiers, subwoofers, Sound processing processors. Competitive omit, I think it will begin to be little interesting.
All systems except the simplest, very demanding of the car preparation. The very first and important process of preparation is vibration and noise insulation. To prevent the "bounce" of metal and distortion of sound.
Also important moments Preparation will be the manufacture and accurate fit of the spacer rings and podiums for speakers.
Why do you need certain components? The radio, it is used as a signal source, external devices, telephones, players, and so on can be connected to it. You can laugh a little, it seems like for children it is necessary to explain, but it is she worth paying a lot of attention, as it is a source of sound, so to speak to everything. If the sound from it will initially be not qualitative, then it will not work out with amplifiers and processors. Well, further an external amplifier, which is used for a better and powerful signal transmitted to the speaker, acoustics for sound radiation, and subwoofer for bass support.
All components of the system with experienced installers are selected not only on the basis of the budget and musical preferences of the owner of the car.
In general, the car is the worst place that you can imagine for the design of the sound space. Worse, in addition to motorcycles, it will be really very difficult to find.
Let's talk now about the main points.
The sound in the car should be abolished in front, from the rear can only be a softener, it is connected with the perception of sound by man. At the concert, because the orchestra is in front of you. And not divided into those who play in front and rear. The location of the speakers plays a huge role. IN simple systems It is best to use regular places for Midbas at the bottom front of the doors. In the component acoustics, Midbas is also put at the bottom, the mid-frequency speaker (if the 3-component system is used) is placed at the chest level, or in the lower part of the rack windshieldYou can also cut into the panel with a reflection from the windshield and an angle of sound attack in the area of \u200b\u200bthe throat area, but when installing in the panel it will be necessary to create a dynamics of a closed volume. HF, they also advise twitters or squeakers at the level of the listener's ears.
Subwoofer Position in the trunk, as it is almost impossible to determine the low frequency radiation location. For higher sound pressure, use a subwoofer with a phase inverter. For greater musicality, it is better to choose it in a closed box. So you will achieve a more correct sound formation. This, of course, only the foundations, in the reality of the subtleties much more, but many, they will be quite enough.
Some important rules When installing sound in a car:
During the vibration and noise insulation, at least 70 percent of smooth metal surfaces should be covered, where the speaker is set, but I recommend covering the maximum possible area.
- With the final tongue, do it qualitatively to inner space It became as closed as possible.
- For better pasting, use an industrial hairdryer, heating the material before mounting the glue layer.
- At the location of the dynamics, inside the door, I advise you to put the sound lens, it will noticeably improve the quality and detail of the sound.
- Space rings when installing the door to metal, it is better to seal with raw rubber or sealant, the cracks are unacceptable and distort the sound.
- With the podium and dynamics installed and dynamics, make a ring from a foam rubber or other sound-absorbing material that closes the screws and will be a seal to the door trim. For the speaker to play the salon, and not into the trim.
- Connecting GU (radio) to the power, always make it after connecting all linear wires (tulips). The subwoofer canal, if you pull it out, or insert it on the work device.
- On the power wire of the power, always put a special fuse, as close as possible to the battery.
- The power wire is always laying on one side of the car, more convenient with the one where the battery is located, and the linear wires with the opposite. So you eliminate possible power supply (buzz) when the engine will work.
- Try the minus wire to do as short as possible and attach it to the body as securely as possible.
- When using a capacitor, if it is without a refrigerant, do not forget to charge it through the lamp, otherwise it will not be sense.
- For a subwoofer, I advise you to use a monoblock, and not the bridge switching on multichannel amplifiers. First of all, it is associated with a clearer control of the very dynamics.
- When connecting a subwoofer to a multichannel amplifier in the bridge, carefully follow the position of the frequency filter switch - HPF - FULL - LPF, it must be put it in the LPF position, that is, allocate only a low-frequency signal. In HPF, your subwoofer grows almost instantly and you will see a farewell smack from it.
But everything as usually begins with a choice and purchase, and then I read a lot of posts using the advice that buy, and how to put.
What to buy depends on your budget, headsets price Policy Up to 6-7 thousand will be approximately the same, and differ in the main design. But there are moments to pay attention to. At a minimum, there is a three-track equalizer, four linear outputs and access to the sub. It will greatly facilitate life.
More dear models Already clearly differ in circuitry, functions and quality of sound, and this is the topic of more detailed consideration. Amplifiers are generally a separate caste, you can write about them a lot, but the main thing is to select them with a reserve in terms of a minimum of 25 percent. However, it is necessary to understand one thing that most companies write clearly overestimated parameters, and here only an experienced person will help you, since the choice is now a huge amount. I will say only one thing - good amplifier, Cheap does not happen. The main parameter when choosing an amplifier for you will be the number of channels and their nominal, the amplifier should be higher than that of acoustics. With monoblocks (single-channel bass amplifiers) the same. SAB of course will play and with a weaker amplifier, but you will not achieve accuracy and correctness of the sound. When choosing acoustics, you need to watch many parameters, and each of them will play in your own way. there is budget classwhich, as a rule, plays everything averaged but better than regular acoustics, there is a middle class, where musicality or assertion is to choose from genre preferences, and there are expensive three strip systems, where manufacturers have tried to balance the sound as much as possible.
In conclusion, I will describe only the process of simple system settings:
We begin it from the fact that everything is discarded on the radio. All sound settings must be factory and stand on zero.
Next on the amplifier there are regulators and switches:
Three HPF contact switch - Full - LPF, a four-channel amplifier has two. For acoustics it is necessary to put it in the HPF position to separate the very low frequencies that the speakers will not be able to reproduce in order to avoid distortion, and for the subwoofer in the bridge, it is necessary to put in LPF to play only the bass part, which acoustics will not pull in the doorway. And also not to burn it.
The HPF regulator, they establish the lower threshold of the frequency of the acoustic systems, which are cut off completely low bass that make distortion from the speakers. For example, if a high pass filter is set at position 100 Hz, the frequency is below this mark (deep bass) will not fall on acoustics. If there is no customization experience, then I advise you to put it from 80do 100 nz
The LPF regulator is a SAB cut. Ie you put the frequency above which the Sab will not play. It is usually put in a position from 50 to 70 Hz. If you set more bass, it will already be less accurate and more rolled.
Level is the power of the amplifier. With my minimum, we add a sound on the radio tape recorder before the appearance of distortion, we reduce a little and start to twist this regulator, add power to the amplifier until distortions appear. After that turn the regulator a little back. And we reduce the volume on the radio. Reconciliation levels and adjustment of amplifiers are completed.
It remains to configure the header and enjoy music.
We put your favorite music. We do the pogrom and begin to set up the top, so that the sound from the souls is not too pronounced, but clearly heard. Next, the bass on the principle "the more, the better" before the level when the speaker distortion does not begin and decrease slightly. The subwoofer at the same time we have the most deviated in the radio. Now we start adjusting the level of the front acoustics and rear (stepdad and balance). The overall sound scene in the car should be focused on the driver. With zero impositions, the sound scene is blurred, we need to send it in the right direction. The rear acoustics are always put on the podger, all the music should come from the front acoustics, otherwise we will not work with the correct sound scene. Shift the step in front of about + 20%. All audible sound must come from the front speakers, then put the balance on the driver side from the driver about + 10 -15%. When setting up a balance, we achieve the sound to come, as if, from the windshield of the car. And in the final, add the level of the subwoofer in the radio tape recorder to the necessary for us.
Do not forget that all the settings we need to produce using a high-quality drive!
I hope these initial knowledge will help you improve the sound in your car and make your trips more comfortable.
To ensure that the car audio in his car was perfect. And many are ready to spend a lot of money. And all because high-quality car audio is quite expensive.
How to make car audition
The creation of a good and high-quality system requires not only high costs, but also special skills, knowledge and skills. It should be understood that in each salon car acoustics has certain features. The propagation of sound is hampered by the presence of many absorbing surfaces. You can solve the problem with the help of professionals who configure sound in the car. And it is possible, but it is much more complicated.
Perfect sound
In order for the sound in the car is good, first of all, you should correctly install all the equipment and comply with all instructions. This also applies to the usual car antenna. If you wish to expand the capabilities of the available audio system, it is important not to rearrange. After all, the concert hall in the car is completely nothing, especially if the driver prefers traditional popular music. For this, it is enough that the car audio can emphasize the depth of a certain sound scene.
Varieties of audio system for a car
The acoustic system in the car can be created in two ways:
- Separate components are selected, and in the future it is performed. This option is not only expensive, but also complex. In addition, a lot of experience will be needed so that autoaciences are really high-quality.
- Creating a system from proven components that are always available to you. The result directly depends on the size of the available moneyIn the process of performing work, you will be able to gain experience, and further adjust the car audio, and bring it to a perfect level. As a result, even simple automotive antenna will allow you to enjoy the sound of music from any radio waves.
Car audio with their own hands
Car audio is the most popular tuning not only the cabin, but also the whole car. Each car has a radio tape recorder, but, as a rule, its sound drivers does not suit. Therefore, a natural desire to achieve perfect sound appears. Installation of car audio involves consistently performing a series of action.
Video on how to make high-quality car audio:
Noise insulation
High-quality music is, first of all, competent noise and vibration insulation in the cabin. It will provide not only silence, but also give music a compound, make it deep and rich. No sound will be out of the cabin, thanks to which the sound will be perfect. Noise isolation should be complete, Only in this case in the car there will be a maximum silence and an excellent sound.
As a rule, in most cars, acoustics are installed in door cards. Specialists are recommended for setting columns to make a special podium, best of the plywood. This will significantly improve the sound quality. Do not forget about the rear acoustic shelf. Almost in all machines, it creates outsiders. Soundproofing must be made in the luggage compartment, especially for cars with the body of a wagon, sedan, hatchback.
Type of acoustics
When with noise insulation will be completed, you can choose an acoustic system. Its power depends on your needs and amounts.which you are willing to allocate on car audio. Several options:
- If you don't need a loud and stunning bass, and the means are limited, you can give preference to a conventional magnetol, augable pair of three-band speakers located for rear seats. It is capable of playing quite pleasant if it is competent configuration.
- Experimental music lovers or connoisseurs of bass are better to choose a subwoofer and at will the amplifier. Magnitol must be qualitative. That is, acoustics will include: radio, amplifier, subwoofer, two three-cycle pancakes behind, two ordinary dynamics in the front doors. Such a set will provide high-quality and pleasant sound, thanks to which the music never get bored. It is very optimal optionIf you are Meloman and have a decent income.
- Installation of professional automotive acoustics is possible only with an unlimited budget. Such car enthusiasts use all the equipment, which only is and while in the car will not end. This option of auto sound is rare, as a rule, it is done for the competition, since in normal life the potential of the system will remain unclaimed. First, listening to music on this volume is impossible physically, secondly, such a large amount of speakers simply do not have enough generator. The acoustic system includes: Fucking the radio, several high-frequency speakers, a dozen of large mid-frequency speakers, subwoofers, a pair of powerful amplifiers, capacitors, as well as additional batteries. As a result, it turns out not a car, and the present work of art.
Selection of acustics
Planning the installation of auto sound in the car, you should decide on the manufacturer of the equipment. Prefer the equipment from well-known and reliable firms with a good reputation, for example, Sony, even if it costs an order of magnitude more expensive. Cheap speakers from incomprehensible firms are significantly different from those produced. All the equipment should be high quality, otherwise the sound will be badEven if the speakers are expensive. And, accordingly, on the contrary.
Video about the choice of acoustics:
Installation and Setup
Many drivers prefer acoustics. Yes, the radio can be put in itself, but with columns, a subwoofer and an amplifier, problems may arise. Therefore, it is better to contact the specialists who correctly install the equipment and configure it so that the equipment worked with the maximum power. Be sure to consider the power of the speakers, the radio tape recorder and competently select the amplifier.
On video - Installation of car audio:
All music will be powered by a car battery and a generator. If you choose a large number of equipment, they will not pull all the technique. To reduce the consumption of electricity, they put condensers, but even in this case the risk remains that the battery will sit down, and the car will have to start with a pusher.
If you approach the question competently and thoroughly in everything, it can be done a good car audio in the car yourself. But experts recommend contacting, whose professionals will work at a high level. You will only need to provide purchased equipment. How did you make a good car audio in your car? Share your experience.
Not every car is equipped with an acoustic system, especially if we are talking about basic equipment. Moreover, even the presence of a regular audio system does not guarantee high sound quality, so many people have a completely logical desire - pick up and install a high-quality car radio. This is quite complicated, as it requires some knowledge from the car owner. Therefore, it is necessary to figure out which speakers to put in the car better, as well as familiarize yourself with the main rules for choosing automotive acoustics in terms of power, reliability and price.
What acoustics put in the car
Presented now in the market Acoustic systems (AC) specialists are divided into 3 types:
- broadband column - represents one speaker responsible for playing the entire frequency range. This type is most affordable for the buyer, so many automakers are equipped with such systems. Broadband AC is enough to listen to the radio transmission or creating a soft audiophone;
- coaxial is a more advanced type of ac, which involves the presence of several speakers located in one case. The entire frequency range coming from the audio gauge in this case is divided into low frequencies (low frequencies), MF (average frequency) and RF (high frequencies), for playing each of which serves a separate speaker. This scheme allows you to significantly expand the range of reproducible frequencies and increase the quality of the audio system. The coaxial system is most popular among car owners, as it ensures a decent sound quality for relatively small money;
- component - the most advanced and, accordingly, expensive speakers. The quality of the system is ensured by the fact that each of the three speakers (HF, LF and SC) is in a separate case. Budget component type AUs are often equipped with a pair of low and mid-frequency speakers (Midbas), as well as a pair of high-frequency speakers (squeezing), while crossover and subwoofer are additionally installed in more expensive sets.
When choosing car speakers, it is worth paying attention to such important parameterslike size, power and sensitivity.
How to choose autodynamics of the correct size
If we talk about the size of speakers, then specialists are not recommended to acquire devices of 4-5 inches high (1 inch - 2.54 cm). It is better to stop your choice on 6-6.5-inch models, as they cope well with the playback of LF (bass).
As a result, if you wish to get high-quality playback of HF, then your choice is to stop on the speakers with the smallest diameter of the diffuser. If it is paramount to obtain deep and high-quality bass, select the speakers with the highest diameter of the diffuser.
What should be the power of good speakers
Analyzing the concept of the power of the speakers, it is worth remembering that the magnitude of this indicator should be slightly larger than the outgoing power of the car radio. Otherwise, all attempts to get more or less high-quality sound will be reduced to zero.
Video: how to learn the power of the speakers
Usually, the speakers indicate the parameter of the nominal and peak power, where the first determines the power at which the speaker can work without any problems without the risk of damage to the diffuser or overheating coil, and the second indicates the maximum allowable power that the column can withstand for a short period of time .
Sensitivity, resonant frequency and character of the sound of autocustics
Of course, when choosing speakers, the size and their power is important, but the key value is played by the sensitivity parameter (sound pressure), the resonant frequency (FS) and the overall soundness of the sound (QTS).
At the same time, the following statements are true:
- The higher the sound pressure parameter (sensitivity), the better. The optimal is the indicator within 92-94.
- The recommended value of the resonance frequency should vary within 60-75, while the lower this parameter, the more deep bass the car owner will receive as a result.
- The QTS indicator ideally must exceed 0.6, especially if the speakers are installed in the doors of the car.

Selection of columns without amplifier
If the car owner is facing the task of selecting columns without an amplifier, then you need to understand that it will be almost impossible to achieve high quality sound. Remember: without an amplifier, autoakousty simply unable to reveal all its potential.
But do not be upset, since not everyone needs a first-class speaker, but to achieve sufficient sound quality for the average user is quite possible. To do this, it is recommended to use speakers with a high level of sensitivity and light suspension (ideally of paper or kevlar).
Basic rules for choosing acoustic systems in the car
When buying automotive acoustics, you need to pay attention not only to its brand and the price. It should also be listed on the advice of competent specialists:
Columns of which manufacturer choose
When buying acoustics for your car, you should immediately determine which parameter will be priority for you. If preference is given to proven brands, it is worth paying attention to manufacturers such as Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood and JVC. In most cases, they give a decent sound quality and are distinguished by reliability. The main lack of columns of these brands is a high cost.
If you are a perfectionist or a fan of classical music, then bypass the part of budget systems and columns of manufacturers such as Mystery, Supra, Callcell and Fusion. To achieve high-quality and beautiful sound in your car you will not succeed. However, more expensive models of these brands are distinguished by acceptable sound quality and uninterrupted work for several years.
We recommend choosing speakers such brands like DLS, MTX, JBL, Focal, Hertz, Rockford Fosgate, Magnat, Boston Acoustic, Alpine, Blaupunkt, Nakamichi, Lightning Audio, Infinity or Morel. Judging by the reviews of users, the models of these brands are characterized by a good value ratio.
Finally, we want to emphasize that the illiterate installation of the AU can reduce all the advantages of even the most productive and expensive radio tape recorder. Therefore, to obtain a really high-quality sound, install the audio system in the car best in specialized car repair shops, where you can count on the aid of real professionals.
