How to Install Your Car Audio

The installation of a car audio system can be a complication process especially for a beginner. It is wise if the money is available to have a professional install your car audio system.

Position of Speakers

The location of the speakers in a car audio system is essential for the peak performance of the system. This is true whether you bought 100 dollar speakers or 5000 dollar speakers. Distance is the first thing to think about. As the driver the left speaker is closest too you and right speakers is several inches away. This is true of the in car generic speakers that come with the car. This makes the sound the audio system produces seem uneven and hard to listen too. The left speaker sounds louder and the right sound is week. The best option for speaker position is a place where the left and right speakers are an equal distance from you. That is why the kick panels are the best option for speaker location.

Multiple Speakers

If you have larger speaker set in your car audio system then you will have try a variety of places for your car audio speakers to be positioned before installation. Many systems have two way speakers, sub, and tweeter on the left and right side. One common installation mistake for speakers is for the tweeters to be located high in the door and the subs in the lower portion of the door. However, the sub and tweeter should be as close together as you can position them on the left and right sides. Professionals will often tinker with the tweeter polarity but doing this is extremely complex and not recommended for beginner car audio installers.

Aim at high frequency ears can figure out the direction of sound. To make sure the sound of the audio system is good, the aim of the tweeters is extremely important. Tweeters deal with high frequency sounds while mid bases deal with middle frequency sound. Mid bases should be aimed at the ears if at all possible. Do not rush this process. Establishing the right aim and position of speakers, tweeters, and subs can take hours and even days.

Frustration and hearing fatigue is often associated with car audio installation. That is why patience is the name of the game. There are many online car audio forums, which can offer help to the beginner installer. Most car audio installation companies are more than willing to talk shop with you; all you have to do is ask. Many people believe that installing car audio speakers is an art for which a sensitive ear, and years of experience is needed. If you find yourself being overwhelmed by the car audio system installation you always have the option of taking your car and audio components to a professional.
