Car Audio Speakers Should Be Installed Properly

I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve seen car audio speakers installed improperly in the doors, dash or rear deck of a car or truck. Many amateur car audio enthusiasts don’t understand that unlike home audio and Bluetooth speakers that come in an enclosure, the way that raw speakers are mounted in your vehicle plays a huge role in what they’ll sound like.

We’ve talked about audio component and speaker distortion a great deal. The reason for this is that distortion is one of the critical factors in quantifying the quality of an audio system.

What Do You Get with a Cheap Car Radio?

Buying a new car radio has been challenging for most of 2021 and so far in 2022.

BestCarAudio.com’s Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer Buyers Guide

Shallow-mount car audio subwoofers were introduced more than a decade ago to allow installers to add great bass where space was limited. The first thin subwoofers were optimized for mounting depth, but many still required a large enclosure for good low-frequency output.

Car Audio Myths: You Can’t Mix and Match Different Brands

There’s a strange car audio myth that claims you can’t mix different brands of source units, speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers and signal processors in the same audio system. While it might be fun for a distributor, sales representative or employee at a car audio retailer to do a one-brand build, chances are you’ll want to pick and choose from the different brands at the store Read more

HD Radio Upgrades Give AM and FM Clearer Sound

HD Radio is a broadcast technology that adds digitally encoded information to an analog AM or FM station.
