Car Amplifiers own hands

Car Audio System can be arbitrary, but at its center is always present such a thing as radio. This can be either factory radio, or acquired by the owner of car. And in each such cassette has its own internal amplifier, but it is too weak. But if you install a car amplifier outside, then he will give a noticeable effect in terms of sound, even the most simple. Car Amplifier needed for those who want a clean, powerful sound on their car. Internal amplifier / recorder can not cope with it, because they are too small. Car amplifier - it is quite another device than the usual home. Differences between them enough. First, it feeds in another and has a different layout. Secondly, it has a different functionality, so it is more likely to be counted among the number of professional equipment. In car amplifiers have several features that can help you manage it. First of all, it is necessary to set the desired mode of operation is for your audio system. You can also configure the amplifier for specific components of the tract, as well as the interior acoustics of your machine. There are, of course, and among those car amplifiers that operate only on the increase in the power of sound. If you choose such a device, then all the appropriate settings should be held in the head unit or an external sound processor. A very important point when choosing a car audio amplifier - the number of channels that it is. There are models with a single channel, or candy bars. There are models that have from five to eight channels. In simple words, the number of channels is equal to the number of possible connection to a system of speakers and subwoofers. However, not all that easy. Most often in car audio amplifiers on the four channels, while not the most expensive. Such an amplifier - ideal for standard configuration audio system. It allows you to connect the four speakers and a subwoofer. That is, it works on three channels, while the fourth is free. Why so? Because the channels of amplifiers are coupled, ie, one channel can be connected to two columns. For the subwoofer channel is designed for maximum power, he is working in bridge mode. The subwoofer requires much more power than conventional speakers. With the help of a "bridge" can be a significant increase in power up to four times. The better the amp, the greater the gain. With the help of a multichannel amplifier you can connect all the speakers with their hands, that you have. But here, too, has its own nuances. On some cars installed a system with multiple amplifiers - one-or two-channel. And this system works much better than the one where all the speakers are connected to one amplifier. In a system with multiple amplifiers to connect them to the following principle. The best amp to run on the front speakers and the rest - for the rear speakers. The most powerful amplifier should be connected separately to the subwoofer. Some particularly scrupulous comrades are doing very sophisticated scheme, adjusted to a certain calculation. Obtained by this excellent sound, but also the cost of such a system would be quite large. Such systems are made from several single-channel amps, but this does not mean that each amplifier is connected to its own column. Calculating the number of amplifiers will be made of how many heads used in columns. For example, if a system has two three-front speakers and a subwoofer, then it will need to install seven amplifiers. Three for each speaker and one subwoofer. In addition to the cost and complexity of such systems is another significant negative - they are very bulky. And not every car will fit such a complex system, so they are not widespread. Yes, and what should be at the same power consumption! Nowadays you can find enough good quality two-channel amplifiers, which will be better than two single-channel. Yet for the subwoofer is better to install their own, separate single-channel amplifier. Single-channel amplifier has more power, which is perfect for the bass range. Special amplifier for the subwoofer has some room to adjust the bass, besides, they can work with a small load. Option with candy bars are much better bridge circuit connection. Car audio system typically includes several speakers (heads), as well as crossovers. Crossover - a special unit that deals with the distribution of frequencies between the speakers. This is a very important element. For example, the average signal, called Twitter may simply burn out if you fall on the high column, bypassing the crossover. Crossover on the standard audio system rather reliably hidden in the construction. But in those systems that are more expensive and better, the crossover is on the mind in a special case. He not only fulfilled its obligation to direct the distribution of frequencies, but also has additional functions to adjust the sound. And it gives a very good result. True, the standard automotive systems typically do not have one of its major components - enclosures for its elements. Usually, instead of a shell speakers and subwoofer, as well as other elements of the system, just put on their regular places in the doors, shelves, racks or torpedo. In this case, the manufacturer auto practically does not care about where this system will be placed, leaving the possibility to come up with it to someone who will install it by hand. And here the quality of sound depends on the person. The same system installed with their hands in various ways, can produce either very good or very bad sound. The most basic version of a car audio system with their own hands - just put all the components to where it is by design cars. Manufacturer reserves established under the elements of space systems that have a certain size and are designed for certain speakers and other components. Columns that match these places easy to find. But there may be a slight snag. They may well stand up in size, but not in depth, their magnetic system may stumble upon an obstacle in the form of a restrictor (eg, side glass doors). If you encounter this problem, it is better to choose a special slim-dynamics, rather thin on depth. You can put the speakers through special spacers wide diameter, it is not too expensive. Ideal option, of course, will also install on the door of special shumovibroizolyatsionnyh materials. Likely Setup wizard always offer you this service. Do not give up, it does not hit hard on the pocket, but the sound will be much higher quality. Shumovibroizolyatsionnymi upholstery materials - this is very important to create audio. It must be carried out in all the places where it is assumed the speakers. Doors or shelves - not the best basis for a speaker, they'll give her a bad effect, which can make amends with insulation. In the regular places you can put a fairly simple sound system. If you want something more serious, then you definitely need a special podium for speakers. Podiums determined on the basis of acoustic features interior and space. Podium can be rotated so that the sound was distributed optimally with respect to all listeners. This setup is also more reliable than usual. If in your salon does not fit conceived by the master system, then it can be slightly adjusted. To do this, be acquired and used audio processor that has many opportunities for tincture of sound. If the distinguished design car audio, they can be divided into two types - coax and component. Coaxial systems differ in that they all represent the dynamics of a single structure. In this high-frequency transmitter is located on the central axis of the low-and mid-range emitters. Component audio system is a set of heads, unrelated. This system allows you to experiment, and the sound quality on it is a much higher. The wizard can always "play" with the location of the columns to find the most suitable option. The most high-quality and expensive system of well-known companies are always just component. Coax is rare, and then disassembled. Car audio systems can have different number of bands. Most often, the bands in the system as much as it has radiators. But not always. There are some systems, when one band is working with several emitters. The most common system - two-way. They include high-head, low-frequency and midrange head. Highest in the class are three-lane component audio systems. Most necessary to our ear frequency - medium, and such systems are provided for mid-range head. This provides a much better sound quality, as it has detailed specialization. In addition, the wizard will place the column system in the most optimal variant, which will further enhance the effect. The lowest class are multiband coaxial audio. However, there is no reason to buy a system with more than three bands. Their large number of messages does not affect the sound quality. This is just a marketing ploy to "trick" the buyer and make him pay more. Four-, five-and six-lane coaxial system are the lowest in quality of sound. Good sound system, of course, presupposes a subwoofer. This is the same column, but having a larger size and reproducing bass sound elements. For subwoofers in cars are always allocated a special place in his path. The fact that low frequency in a car interior are reproduced in a special way. The subwoofer needs more power than the speakers. Moreover, the subwoofers are rarely installed somewhere inside the cavity of a car, although there are such cases. However, this option is not very effective, but there are special subwoofers, which suggest just such a setting. However, it is much more common and best option is to manufacture a special case under the subwoofer. Make such housing from MDF board or plywood. The subwoofer is very rare in the passive frequency separation, which is available in the crossover of other systems. The subwoofer is working on a different principle. Usually occurs at low frequency filtering with the use of crossover or audio processor. Subwoofer in the car is designed not only to enhance the bass frequencies. Its direct purpose - to stifle the noise of the street. After all, low-frequency noise in the most, so the street noise can seriously interfere with listening to music. The main front speakers, which are located in the doors, are not powerful enough to cope with such a noise. They may not have strong bass, because they can not make larger sizes, or they simply do not fit onto their seats. Also for conventional speakers is not possible to use those systems to improve the quality of bass that can be used for home audio systems. In particular, we will not be able to use reflex. Tone control is not suitable for use in the car. Raising the bass in the conventional car speakers can only lead to what you get hoarse inarticulate sound, and later their inevitable breakdown. That's why a good car audio system is impossible to imagine without a subwoofer. The subwoofer uses hundreds of watts, with which perekrikivaet noise of the city, reports the peak signals at low frequencies. Bass sound in a special spreads through the cabin car. Since the salon - it is a small enclosed space, it is quite difficult in terms of acoustics. Air, which is available in the cabin, is a solid barrier that prevents the spread of vibration Woofer. Thus it turns out that the subwoofer should not only be well-basit in the cabin, but also to develop such power sound waves, which "breaks through" the obstacles in the form of air. This is called a compression method for obtaining the bass. For example, a convertible subwoofer should be even more powerful as an air barrier they have so much more. For audio convertibles usually involves two subwoofers. Moreover, it is not about some super-dolbyaschey the ears audio system, but the most ordinary, which provides good sound quality at a moderate level. If your goal is to create a super-powerful audio system for participation, such as special events for the volume, then here you will need to use hundreds or thousands of watts. It is best to use the car subwoofers. This low-frequency head, which has its own enclosure and subwoofer amplifier. Moreover, the larger the size of such low-frequency head, the better - the volume increase significantly. True, but the volume, subwoofer gives no growth as a bass. And for them there are many criteria - depth, purity, density, etc. All of this active subwoofer system, usually not available. There are, of course, and among them are very good options, but finding them is problematic. Passive subwoofers in appearance similar to the active. The only difference is that there is a low-frequency head and body, but no amplifier. If you find a good external amp motor with your hands, you can create a really good sounding bass. In addition to selecting the best amplifier for a passive subwoofer, to improve its sound better prepare to order a special box. With its production must take into account dimensions of the car, the size of the subwoofer. The enclosure must be as strong and weighty. Of course, such a scheme does not come cheap, and require much effort. But the result is fantastic. This subwoofer is perfectly fit in the trunk road and will enjoy an excellent quality bass. There are some subs that are designed to bezkorpusnyh car amplifiers with their hands. Very good to have them on the back shelf, if you have the body sedan. The trunk is full, and extra money to spend on making the body do not. At first glance, this is a very good option. But in our market are very small selection of models of subwoofers, suggesting the possibility bezkorpusnoy installation. They are difficult to place, they are quite fragile, hard to set up and have a lower efficiency than with a subwoofer enclosures. Of course, a good car amplifiers with their hands can be in any car, even for very little money. True, do it yourself pretty hard if you are certainly not the master of the installation. But them's the need to address. Oddly, but in our country there is an excellent school installation of audio systems, so that the quality can not worry - our masters know their business. In our country even has its own national team for installation, which takes part in major international competitions in automobile sound and always surprising. In our country, often invite experts in the installation of other countries, but they probably do not come to teach our kids, and come to learn for yourself. Of course, nobody argues that in our country in every cabin you will deliver guaranteed quality audio. Good masters are not everywhere. So, before you apply to a particular master, look at his portfolio, to assess the work that he performed before. Usually in large salons have showrooms, which displays the best works of the masters. A serious sound system usually starts with quad amplifiers junior. Such amplifiers can be connected to the main unit even without the line outputs, but directly to the unit, for example. You can make a system with multiple amps, but expose them for show it is not necessary. All this can be nice to hide. To make a good front system, it is better to choose three-power high-class.
