Tips for Custom Stereo Installation

Soundiego — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 17:00:16 +0000

Having a great custom stereo system in your car is about more than just buying the right speakers, amps, and head unit. There are a lot of details that detract from the overall experience if they are not handled properly. Here are a few custom stereo installation tips from the pros.

Create custom speaker housings – You don’t want speakers rattling around, and the ones that happen to fit in the factory housings in your car will rarely be exactly what you want or need. Creating custom housings is a great way to reduce vibration and create a factory installation feel.
Tuck wires away – This is more about aesthetics than function. However, it can also be a safety issue. Passengers can get tangled in wires that are hanging out all over the place. Also, a person who gets caught on a wire can accidentally pull something lose and affect whether your new sound system even works.
Think about frequency response – This goes, not only for your speakers but also for your wiring. You may get the right gauge wire, but without the right frequency response, your speakers won’t be able to put out those ultra-high and low tones. They have to receive it to output it.

How to Make Sure Your Subwoofer Really Performs

Soundiego — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 17:00:34 +0000

If you are going to purchase a new subwoofer to add to your car’s stereo system, you want to be sure that you are getting your money’s worth. After all, this is going to be one of the most expensive upgrades, but it can also provide the best sound if it is installed properly. Here are a few tips to make sure you maximize the return on your subwoofer investment.

Remember that the housing matters – Having the right housing for your subwoofer installation is critical to getting the best sound quality. If nothing else, a proper housing ensures that you don’t hear a rattle when the sub begins to vibrate. You’ve probably driven past a car with the sub blaring and a rattling sound almost drowning it out. Not cool.
Hire a professional installer – From ensuring that your sub is powered properly to making certain that your housing is custom fit if need be, a professional installer is going to be able to leave you with a factory install feel. That means it will look and sound as though it was always a part of your vehicle, just with much better power and quality of sound than factory speakers.

Whether you need to upgrade the entertainment system in your car, truck, SUV, boat, ATV, or another vehicle, then you want to do it the right way. This will allow you to optimize the improvements without spending a fortune. Consider the following tips.

Hire a professional – Having it done right the first time is always going to cost you less than having to get the job redone. That means hiring a professional who can customize your entertainment system to look like it was factory installed.
Upgrade the outputs – From touchscreens to speakers, you want to make sure that your audio and video components are top quality and installed properly. Having everything properly wired and powered will also ensure that you get the maximum benefits from your new audio and video systems.
Upgrade the inputs – From USB to wireless connectivity, make sure that you can connect your media devices to the stereo and video systems. This will allow you and your passengers to easily play your own customized content for the ultimate road trip experience. While you’re at it, don’t forget to add wired or wireless charging points so that your devices don’t run out of battery along the way.

Shopping for Your New Car Stereo System Speakers

The fastest way to upgrade your car stereo system is to replace those boring old factory speakers with new ones. How can you get the sound you are looking for at the best price? Here are a few shopping tips:

Choose speakers with the right frequency response – Wattage isn’t everything in the world of speakers. You also need to think about frequency response. This is a range of sounds that the speakers are capable of reproducing. Without the right range, you will miss some of the high, low, or even middle tones (if all you get are subs and tweeters).
Think about power – Again, it’s not all about the wattage. If you don’t have enough power to run each speaker at full capacity, then you won’t get the optimal sound out of the speakers you end up purchasing. Therefore, you should be thinking about amps and power supplies as well. Even if you are buying your system in increments, just remember that you will get more from your speakers once they are properly powered.
Select an authorized distributor – This allows you to get real speakers as opposed to a cheap knockoff, and it ensures you have the full manufacturer warranty on your product in case something goes wrong.

Upgrading Your Car to Keep Up with Technology Use

Soundiego — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:00:03 +0000

Modern technology makes it easier than ever to enjoy music or movies on the go. Of course, video entertainment should only be for passengers, but if you often have other people in your car, then you probably want to provide these conveniences for them – particularly on a road trip. Here are a few modern upgrades to consider:

Adding a variety of inputs – From wired connections to Bluetooth, there are many ways that you can allow your passengers to curate their own content while on the go. This will help you to keep your eyes on the road.
Entertainment systems – A great stereo system will enhance music listening in your vehicle. However, you may also want to consider visual entertainment for others who are in the car with you. Touch screens provide an interactive way for your passengers to enjoy movies, games, and more.
Charging stations – USB charging ports allow your passengers to bring any type of device on board and they can charge as long as they have their own adapter. You may also want to consider adding wireless charging, especially for yourself so that there are no charging cables crowding the front of the vehicle.
