Understanding Subwoofer Quality – Inexpensive Woofer

Our first subject in this series of articles about understanding subwoofer quality is a low-cost 10-inch driver from a local electronics parts store. This manufacturer markets this transducer as a “full range” speaker that “looks and sounds great” and not a subwoofer. We’ll start by measuring the Thiele/Small parameters of the driver, then break it in to see if things change Read more

Listen Up! Please Stop Talking About Wattage Ratings

If we could send just one message to car audio enthusiasts, it would be to stop talking about wattage ratings. These numbers are irrelevant and often misleading in the context of quality, performance and value. Leave the reference to watts out if you want to sound intelligent when discussing car audio upgrades. What Are Watts? The SI Unit watt is used to measure power. One Read more

The Art & Science of Custom Subwoofer Enclosures in Cars

What is a custom car audio subwoofer enclosure? Does it need to be wrapped in leather or vinyl? Should it be made with fiberglass? Does it need acrylic windows? Is LED lighting a necessity? The short answer is no to all of these questions. Let’s delve into what makes a subwoofer enclosure custom and why it’s the best way to upgrade the bass in your car audio system. Subwoofer Read more

Car Audio Crossover Slopes, Alignments and Summing

Car audio upgrades are much more complex than setting up speakers in your living room. They are, unless all you have in the system is a set of coaxial speakers in your doors. Your installer has to consider crossover slopes and alignments if you have front and rear speakers and a subwoofer. They must also understand how the settings interact at the crossover frequency. Let’s 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

Understanding Subwoofer Quality – Setting the Stage

Last year, we published a series of articles that compared several 6.5-inch woofers. Those articles were intended to show the linearity and distortion differences between entry-level products and those with features that improve performance and sound quality. The results were exactly as we expected: The better drivers played louder with less distortion. We figured it was about Read more

2023 Ford Raptor R. Trail Beast and Street Beast

The 2023 Ford Raptor R is a certified beast. The specifications are incredible. The 5.2-liter supercharged V8 is pilfered from the Mustang GT500, cranking out 700 horsepower and 640 lb.-ft. of torque. And it sounds incredible. That was the first thing I was nervous about, living in a community within close proximity to my neighbors. I know how rowdy the Mustang can be, and I Read more
