As we continue our series on headlight bulb upgrades, it’s time to discuss electrical interference.

Preventing Hyundai or Kia Vehicle Thefts

Guess what? Thieves steal thousands of cars, trucks and motorcycles every day. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that more than 1 million cars were stolen in 2022. Many of those vehicles are shipped overseas, never to be seen again. Others are taken for joyrides or used as transportation for other crimes.

Headlight Bulb Upgrades: Part 4 – Headlight Bulb Type and Object Illumination

We’ve watched hundreds of videos on YouTube and read dozens of articles on headlight upgrades, yet we’ve never seen anybody discuss how different bulb types light up different colored objects. We aren’t discussing the headlight bulbs’ brightness or the beam pattern. Halogen, HID and LED bulbs output different wavelengths of energy. We see objects when that energy reflects off Read more

Better Car Audio Amplifiers Aren’t Necessarily Louder

If there’s one thing that’s challenging for car audio manufacturers and retailers, it’s explaining the sonic benefits of higher-quality products. Based on our research, many consumers correlate the word “better” with more power production from an amplifier, more power handling from a speaker, or more features from a source unit. While these statements are often accurate, they Read more

Headlight Bulb Upgrades: Part 3: Beam Patterns

We are back with the third article in our series about headlight bulb upgrades.

Car Audio Myth: Larger or More Subwoofers Are Always Louder

There’s a common belief that an audio system with more subwoofers will produce more bass. This statement can be 100% true or completely false. Why might it be false? A subwoofer’s output depends heavily on enclosure design. Let’s look at two examples where the output of one subwoofer is more than two. The Most Bass for Your Dollar If you spend any time searching the countless Read more

The original theory was that adding stuffing made the enclosure seem larger and let the driver play louder at low frequencies. Let’s revisit this test and add several acoustic Read more
