Myth Busted
For all of us who want the best sound in our cars, we buy the loudest and the most expensive car audio system. But without the ability to properly install them and without the background knowledge about acoustics, then all the money we’ve spent would be terribly wasted and we would be thinking that we should have stuck with the factory unit. But being the fanatics that we are, we have some idea on how to make a car audio sound good.
But there are myths out there when it comes to car audio systems that need to be busted and that’s where the experts comes in. And these experts really know what they are talking about as they work for the Car Audio Magazine. I came across this article and decided to share it with you fellow car audio buffs. It’s quite lengthy so I’m just gonna share with you some of things which I think everyone should know.
One issue I find quite interesting is the thing about subwoofers. I’m sure you’ve also heard somewhere something about the larger the woofer, the slower it is. And here’s what Mark Eldridge of Car Audio gave us something to counter such myths. He said: “One of the most common myths is that the larger the woofer, the “slower” it sounds. What is this? How can a woofer be slow or fast?” Right on, huh?
Garry Springgar, also one of the experts from Car Audio, added: “The reason that whole thing got started was back in home audio there were a bunch of sealed box systems and the boxes were being built too small. That made the sound really boomy and people would blame it on the woofer’s size.” These guys are really good eh?
If you want more information as to where to properly place your tweeters or subwoofers to get the best out of your car audio system, these guys can tell you what to do. I mean, they do this for a living and I wonder how the car audio on these guys’ cars sounds like. I don’t really known but I can guess, and so can you. After all, what would you expect from someone who knows all about car audio? Buying and reading a Car Audio magazine will surely give you an idea just what you can do to your car audio’s performance. As for me, I am left wondering if these guys can turn an awfully cheap car audio system into something that you and I would envy. Hmmm…
