For music-loving friends, car audio is one of the important features. With this car audio, friends can listen to music while on the road. Not only that, often music can be a comfort during traffic jams. To support the best appearance and sound quality, several modifications are usually needed by paying attention to the selection of quality car audio types.

Here, friends need to be meticulous in choosing audio that can produce clear sound. By choosing high-quality audio, music will be more enjoyable to listen to, so friends need to carefully select the audio that will be used. In modifying car audio, especially for music lovers, there are various types that can be modified, and there is also the term modification virus.

What is meant by the modification virus? The modification virus generally affects young people who love to style. However, it is also possible for those who are already married to experience it. Often, someone gathers with fellow car owners who enjoy changing their car's appearance, which causes the spread of this modification virus.

But modifying is not just about speakers! Ideally, before making modifications, friends need to know the other components of car audio that will play your favorite songs. What are the audio components in a car?

Let's check out the following tips!

Head Unit

The Head Unit can be said to be the brain of the car audio. This component regulates the signals to connect with other audio devices. The Head Unit in this era has become increasingly sophisticated. Through touch screen access, you can adjust the volume, equalizer, and more. To modify it, the first thing friends need to pay attention to is the budget; when modifying car audio, make sure friends have prepared and considered it thoroughly. Once the budget is set, friends need to find out about audio brands that certainly have good quality. There are various brands that friends can use as references; usually, Japanese brands are more expensive compared to Chinese brands. Although Chinese brands are relatively cheaper, they usually come with more features.

Amplifier

The signal from the Head Unit will be amplified by the Amplifier, which also enhances the sound arrangement in the car cabin. This makes it easier for other audio devices to capture signals from the brain, the Head Unit. A strong signal will help the speakers produce more stable sound. When choosing an amplifier, friends also need to pay attention to the specifications of the speaker components. So, here friends need to understand well and not get the specifications of the speakers wrong, especially regarding wattage and impedance.

Crossover

Well, before or after being amplified by the Amplifier, the signal will be divided by the Crossover. There are two types of Crossover, namely passive and active. A passive Crossover will divide the frequencies after the signal is amplified by the Amplifier, while an active Crossover will divide the frequencies before the signal enters the Amplifier. It is important to note that a Crossover is only needed by car speakers that have a 2-way and 3-way system. For cars with a single sound system, the Crossover feature is not necessary.

To choose a Crossover, again, the first thing friends need to pay attention to is the budget, adjust it to the budget you have. Then friends can choose a Crossover according to their preferences. Also, pay attention to the installation method; the correct installation method will improve the quality of the sound produced.

Speaker

Surely friends already understand, right? The speaker's job is to produce sound based on the signals from the Head Unit that have been boosted by the Amplifier. Speakers come in various types according to the frequency range they want to produce. There is the tweeter type that focuses on high frequencies, namely 3500 Hz--20 kHz. Then there is the midrange type that serves to clarify human vocals. This type operates in the frequency range of 350--4500 Hz. Then there is the midbass type, which plays a role in processing low frequencies, namely 80--350 Hz. And lastly, the subwoofer, a type that specializes in producing bass sounds or frequencies that can be lower than midbass. This type operates in the area of <100 Hz.

It is important to note that speakers are usually sold in two types. The Coaxial type is a speaker that contains the device or driver in one package. This speaker package consists of midrange and tweeter. The next type is split. The split type contains drivers separately, namely midrange, tweeter, and woofer. Meanwhile, speakers are also divided into several systems, namely single sound, 2-way, and 3-way systems. One thing to note is that when you use a speaker with a 2-way system, the Coaxial type is the most suitable speaker type. On the other hand, 3-way is better suited to use the split speaker type.

After knowing the supporting components for car audio quality, friends can determine the features that suit their needs. The 2-way system that includes high and low sounds can be installed more practically. Meanwhile, the 3-way system that includes high, low, and mid sounds is more complicated to install but has clearer sound quality.

In addition, friends must also ensure that the quality of the Head Unit, Crossover, Amplifier, and Speaker is in good condition. All devices must be able to function according to their respective functions maximally. The signal from the Head Unit must be clear, the Crossover and Amplifier must process the signal with a good response, and the Speaker must be able to produce sound according to its capacity.

So, do you understand how to maximize car audio quality? If you encounter difficulties, consult your trusted workshop immediately.
