Four steps of car audio modification

Most of the current car audio refits are located in auto supplies and car beauty and decoration shops. The operators are small workers who lack audio experience and knowledge. Unfamiliar car owners mistakenly think that this is the whole content of car audio modification. Some refitted stereos, not only did not have the effect and equipment performance normally, but even damaged the electrical system of the original car, leaving the car owner with hidden dangers in the future. Many experts pointed out that the key to refitting car stereos is to see Whether it can be effectively debugged, in many cases, effective debugging is more important than the brand. How to modify the car stereo? Here are four steps to teach you how to become a modification master.

Step One: Style and Budget Matters
The collocation of car audio must cater to your own taste. The so-called saying: turnips and vegetables have their own preferences. And everyone likes different styles, plus the budget is limited. Budget is also a very important issue.

Step Two: The Bucket Principle

When the main unit (sound source), power amplifier, speakers and other equipment are matched with each other, in addition to the style issues mentioned above, I personally think that we should also pay attention to balance-the bucket principle.

The third step: the selection method of the host (audio source)

The host is the sound source of the entire audio system, and it is also a control center, and the operation of the audio system must be realized through the host machine. It is recommended to choose a host from five important aspects: sound quality, function, quality stability, price, and aesthetics.

When it comes to car audio, I think the sound quality must come first. If you don’t pursue sound quality, then there is little need to modify the audio. Generally speaking, the hosts of major imported brands have mature technology, excellent production technology, and better sound quality than domestic hosts, such as Alpine, Pioneer, Clarion, and Swans. Note that the “imported brand” mentioned here does not necessarily refer to the production in the country where the trademark is registered. Many brands have already established production bases in our country.

The fourth step: the collocation of speakers and amplifiers

The choice of speakers and power amplifiers must first pay attention to the style issues mentioned in point 1 above. The final style of a set of speakers is 50% determined by the speaker, 30% by the power amplifier, 15% by the sound source of the pre-stage (main unit or preamplifier), and 5% by the wire. Generally speaking, it is best to choose the same style for power amplifiers and speakers, otherwise the effect will be nondescript at best, and the equipment will be damaged at worst.
