Know Your Car's Audio
Wondering why despite spending a bomb on your car’s stereo, the sound still doesn’t seem as clear
By Samuel Ng

We all want our cars to be fitted with the latest top-of-the-line audio system and the bigger the wattage, the better it is. Yet, have you ever wondered why despite spending a bomb on your car’s stereo, the sound still doesn’t seem as clear as it should be and the bass feels constipated?

That lack of oomph may be attributed to a lack of power being distributed to your car’s amplifier. A car’s amplifier spreads out power to different parts that need it like the air-conditioner, engine, lighting, audio system and dashboard signals to name a few.

A high-powered audio system will sap the amplifier’s power especially if you’re turning the bass booster up. And as a result, since the other components of the car need power as well, the sound coming out appears muffled.

High Quality Car Speaker System
You can counter the draining effect by installing a capacitor, which in essence is a reserve of electrical power.

It will allow you to maximize the potential of your nifty audio system without compromising on clarity.Dimmer lights are also a result of playing heavy music on a car’s audio system but with a capacitor, this will be a thing of the past. Now you can hear the bass clearly even at high decibel-levels!

Capacitor brands like Phoenix Digital, Sound Storm, Lanzar and Volfenhag are excellent options to consider.

Besides fixing a capacitor, another thing for audiophiles cum car enthusiasts will be to get a car audio electronic crossover. Basically, what it does is to split the audio frequencies according to your car’s amplifier (s)

That way, your subwoofer emits the lower range frequencies while your speakers’ tweeters relay the high notes rather than all the frequencies being jumbled up, leading to an unpleasant mish-mash of sounds and distortion which can eventually ruin your high end audio system and speakers. An electronic cross over also ensures of a cleaner and better quality sound. Installing a capacitor and audio electronic crossover is inexpensive and hassle-free too
