A music system in car is structured into speakers, amplifiers, sub-woofers, stereo and various small units including wiring. There few general instructions that are followed while installing a music system in the car:
Purchasing a music system advantageous for the car:
Several music systems come with an LCD fitting and displays. See which suits your pocket and budget. Choose a music system that provides the basic options of changing the tone settings to bass, treble, balance etc. Usually the best speakers that provide surround sound in the car has a total setting of six speakers- door speakers, rear speakers and speakers fitted in the back of the back seat. A real music freak would also purchase in sub-woofers or a nice set of tweeters!
Next step is to get the warranty card of the audio system in place. Check it twice and insist on the card being stamped on the date of purchase. Otherwise, repairing can cost a bomb!
Insist on buying it from a recognised dealer. An efficient sound system produces best auditory performance. One should also give up the hypothesis that sound systems large in terms of size produce good sound lucidity and quality.
Reading the instruction manual carefully is a wise decision rather than unnecessary fingering of the buttons. Every car speaker systems are different for different cars.
Connecting the receiver:
Once a person has decided on the type of sound system, next stage is connecting the receiver by using wires. But before connecting wires, one must switch off the negative battery to avoid short circuits. One must connect the battery according to the wiring diagram shown in the manual and also the colour of coding wires.
Selecting the amplifier:
It is a well-established logic that audio system will fail to function without power for which one needs to select an amplifier. In order to generate maximum power, one must use high grade wire connector which has proper wire size. It is advisable to buy amplifiers with heat sink as it absorbs heat produced by amplifier. If one is planning to buy multiple car stereo amplifiers, then one must check its compatibility with speakers and sub woofers.
Deciding the number of speakers to be connected:
One must decide on the number of speakers he wants to invest in and connect it to the amplifier. It is mandatory that the speaker should be positioned at the perfect place. One must also ensure that sufficient space is provided between two speakers which usually depend on the car space that is available.
Other than music systems, car should also be equipped with an alarm system to protect the car from burglary. Another advantage of an alarm is that one has to pay lower insurance premium at the time of car insurance policies. Thus, driving has been made pleasant and secure with the aid of all these systems.
