In order to understand the function of the car audio crossover one must first review the role of the car power amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signal that is passing through the car audio system. The power going into the amplifier comes from the car battery. After passing through the amplifier, a [...]

When a car owner plans to purchase a car amp, then that car owner must give thought to the amplifier?s desired efficiency. The efficiency of an amplifier represents the ratio of power output to power input. Two primary factors determine an amplifier’s efficiency: the power dissipation within the car amp and the distortion of the [...]

The purpose of a good car amplifier is to produce crystal clear sound with as little distortion, or interference, as possible while boosting the audio. A designer of high fidelity amplifier designer has one goal, and that is to devise a product that will have no result on the signal it’s receiving, other than preparing [...]

Today one gets the sense that all types of communication have chosen to convert to a digital system. Some digital equipment may have made its way into the sound system of the average automobile, but most of present-day cars still use an analog sound system. The requirements of an analog system dictate the construction of [...]

Installing a car amplifier is not difficult. It takes a little patience and know-how to properly install and secure an amp. Many people add amplifiers for clear sound quality. A car amplifier usually comes with an audio system, but is small and sits near the dashboard. A bigger amp will give more power to any [...]

For a lot of audio-loving car drivers, a stellar amplifier is a must. Amplifiers are mechanisms or circuits that enhance the amplitude of the signal being fed into them. In other words, this piece of car audio equipment will boost the bass bigger, draw out the volume clearer, and overall improve the sound quality of [...]

Young male car owners usually like to display power in many aspects of their car’s features. In the car engine the available horsepower serves as a measure of the engine’s power. In the audio power amplifier the efficiency serves as the important measure of power and of quality. A well-performing, a powerful amplifier has a [...]

The human nose gives an individual the sense of smell. Special nerve cells in the skin give an individual the sense of touch. What kind of sense has been identified in a car audio equalizer?
In order to answer the above question, one must seek to understand the limits of the human sense of hearing. Most [...]
