Kebakaran Modifikasi Audio

Some of you may feel dissatisfied with the audio system in your car, right? Some even consider the factory audio system in cars to be rather ordinary and lacking the additional features they desire. Do you feel the same way?

Well, this is what drives car owners to modify their audio systems to add features to their car's audio system. However, you also need to be cautious because this can lead to fires caused by audio modifications. What are the causes? Check out the explanation below!

Causes of Car Audio Modification Fires

When choosing a place for car audio modification, make sure you trust it to the best and most reliable modification shop to avoid various bad things, such as fires.

The risk of fire is indeed a major concern when modifying the audio system in a car because it relates to sensitive electrical systems. Therefore, here are some causes of fires during car audio modifications:

1. Inappropriate accessory selection

In every car modification, you will certainly choose additional accessories to enhance the features and quality of your car, including in car audio system modifications.

However, many sell aftermarket products that do not adhere to standards, which can be detrimental to you as a car owner. So, you should not be easily tempted by low prices before knowing the quality.

Therefore, pay attention to the specifications of the audio system accessories that are suitable for your car to avoid negative impacts.

2. Installation errors and types of cables used

The first cause that can trigger audio modification fires is due to installation errors and the types of cables used.

The electrical current in a car only requires 12 volts but can have 50 amperes or more. If the cable size chosen for the power amplifier is incorrect, it can endanger your car.

When the electrical current flows and the cable size is too small, it can heat up quickly until the metal of the cable eventually burns.

3. Not using additional fuses

Another cause of fires during audio modification is not using additional fuses when installing the amplifier. Sometimes many technicians only install it at the battery while not adding one at the amplifier because there is already one.

So before entering the amplifier, there should be another fuse, making it two for safety. The additional fuse is to secure the power and avoid electrical short circuits in your car.

4. Neglecting cable installation

To prevent short circuits and fires in the car during audio modification, technicians must also pay attention to the installation of the cables used.

Sometimes speakers are installed and then directly screwed with a plate, even though this should not be done. This is due to ground looping or some kind of static electricity.

When there is grounding, there will be static, which can result in poor sound quality and even short circuits.

Furthermore, cable installation is also not recommended to use insulation because this only lasts for about a month. So, make sure that the technician uses a heat-shrink tubing for this.
