Understanding Specifications – Car Audio Amplifier Input Sensitivity

The next topic in our look at car audio amplifier specifications is input sensitivity.

In the simplest of terms, the sensitivity specification determines how much voltage is required on the input of the amplifier for it to produce Read more

Why You Should Hire A Car Stereo Professional

As surprising as this is going to sound, hiring a car stereo professional to work on your car or truck isn’t always easy. OxfordDictionaries.com defines a professional as someone who performs an activity “as a main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.” The limitation of that definition is that getting paid doesn’t mean the person performing that task is properly trained.

Understanding Specifications – Car Audio Amplifier Signal-to-Noise Ratio

We’ve touched on the topic of signal-to-noise ratio in car audio amplifiers before. This specification is one of the most important in quantifying the quality of the amplifier you are going to choose for your audio system. While the power ratings are the only way we’ll know how loudly an amp can play, the noise specs give us a look at the design philosophy of the amp. Quite Read more

You Don’t Always Win with a Better Price

When it comes to buying products and services, a better price doesn’t always mean you got a great deal. A while back, I shared quote from Benjamin Franklin on my Facebook page: “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” Keep this in mind as you read the following story. Sometimes I feel foolish for working hard to find the Read more

What Do Better Car Audio Amplifiers Sound Like?

I’ve heard people in the industry say that most amplifiers, operating in their linear range, sound the same. I’ve tested hundreds of amplifiers over the years, and while some were very similar, I can confidently say that I’d never have described two of them as sounding identical. Those of us in the car audio industry want you to have the best-sounding car audio system you Read more

Are High-Efficiency Speakers Better?

If you are an avid car audio enthusiast, it’s likely that you’ve seen photos of or heard systems that use high-efficiency pro audio style speakers. These drivers were designed for PA systems at concerts and can produce impressive output levels with moderate levels of power from an amp. In this article, we are going to look at the benefits and drawbacks of using pro-sound Read more

Vehicle-Specific Audio Upgrades

Did you know that in Europe, there aren’t nearly the number of qualified car audio installers that there are here in North America? In some countries, shops that primarily sell wheels and tires are the most popular choice for purchasing and installing audio system upgrades. Manufacturers that want to provide consumers with premium sound system upgrades have turned to developing Read more

How to Choose a Car Stereo Shop

Though I’ve spent very little time as a sales rep, I’ve been to more than 100 car stereo shops across North America. These visits varied from display board repair adventures and product training for my former employer to DSP tuning and audio integration training over the past few years. I’ve seen some of the fanciest stores in the land and hung out in what would be described as Read more
