With the rapid development of automobiles in China, equipping your beloved car with a high-quality car audio system is not an unattainable task. When you hold the steering wheel and enjoy the scenery outside the window and the wonderful music inside the car, the car no longer serves as a means of transportation, but instead becomes a comfortable and enjoyable space for driving. A perfect sound system can bring you a dual enjoyment of hearing and sight. How do you choose a perfect sound system? I often have car owners asking me: How is my configuration? Is it okay in terms of matching and price?
Firstly, we need to identify our own preferences and preferences for music genres. Choose European style speakers for human voices and American style speakers for DJs.
First, clarify what type of music you like to listen to, such as pop songs, DJs, vocals, etc. If you go to a sound shop and the master doesn't ask you what type of music you like, but provides you with a plan, then you can leave. Those are all focused on selling your own products. Just now, when it comes to music genres, it determines which brand of speakers we should choose. Different speakers have different styles:
1. The American sound system belongs to the "power type", with strong force, dynamic and massive, free and unrestrained, distinctive personality, and rugged magnanimity, especially suitable for listening to rock, jazz, and heavy metal percussion music.
2. British voice has a typical European royal lineage, with a soft and sweet tone, a dignified and elegant shape, and is not flashy, most suitable for expressing classical string music and vocal replay. Unfortunately, the performance is slightly inferior in depicting large dynamic explosive scenes and low-frequency volume sensation.
3. The German sound system fully embodies the meticulous, rigorous, and self-discipline spirit of the Germanic nation. The tone is natural, neutral and peaceful, clean and refreshing. Especially with exquisite craftsmanship, it enjoys a reputation in the industry, which is breathtaking. Very suitable for reproducing popular music, classical music, and passionate vocals.
4. The European voices of France, Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Norway, and other countries are permeated with the French wit and romance, the artistic atmosphere of the Italian Renaissance, and the lively and cheerful Nordic people with extremely exquisite traditional handicrafts: the sound is pure and natural, slightly exaggerated in mid to high frequencies, but extremely rich in musical flavor, and has good compatibility.
5. Domestic car audio systems, due to their late start, are mostly car audio projects that were only launched by home audio manufacturers in this century. However, due to relatively low prices, the market share of domestic car audio systems is constantly expanding.
Secondly, clarify the focus of equipment and reserve upgrade space
For general beginner modifications, this configuration plan can be considered: the front sound field uses a set of speakers, and the rear sound field uses coaxial speakers. The sound quality of a set of speakers is definitely better than that of a coaxial speaker. The general modification principle is to prioritize the front sound field, and the back field is only used as an auxiliary. The cost of a coaxial speaker is suitable for a cost-effective set. However, if the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to use a set of speakers for both the front and rear sound fields. However, the quality and price of the front sound field speakers should be one level higher than that of the rear sound field, or it is better to have the same front and rear sound field speakers. This can achieve a balance in the quality of the front and back sound fields.
In addition, the equipment also has options such as a main unit direct push and an additional power amplifier. For beginners, you can choose a main unit direct push with a sensitivity of 90dB speakers, which cannot meet the needs of adding power amplifiers in the later stage. Everyone has different opinions on the issue of subwoofers. Adding a subwoofer is like a staple food for DJ listeners and must be present; For those who don't listen much to DJs, it is a seasoning that can expand the sound field and improve the sound level.
Finally, system optimization and reasonable budget
For modifying the sound system to produce good sound, overall, you get what you pay for. The entire audio system in the car, including the main speakers, amplifiers, cables, and even sound insulation, can affect the sound quality effect. If it is an entry-level modification, it usually starts with the replacement of the speaker, and then goes to the amplifier, host, and wiring to fully utilize the overall effect of the entire system. The four door sound insulation is essential as it ensures no resonance, reduces noise, and forms a closed enclosure indoors, enhancing better sound quality.
