The sound systems fitted in automobiles can be described by the term of car-audio. Little difference there is in the stock car audio system which refers to one that was specified by the manufacturer when the car is built. On the other side custom car audio installations can involve everything from the upgrade of the radio to a full customization of a car based around its audio equipments like car stereos and CD changers.
Most commonly used audio equipment is the radio/tape player/CD player/DVD Player which is generically described as a Head unit. Recent developments in head unit technology have been the addition of CD players with MP3, WMA, AAC, and USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support.
CD players/ CD recorders have become standard inclusions in most modern vehicles, with the option to add a CD changer, which holds multiple CDs either in the main unit or in the trunk or console. The most common types of CD changers are External Cartridge, Internal Cartridge and Carousel CD changers.
Stereophonic sound is commonly referred to as stereo and it is the reproduction of sound wherein two or more independent audio channels are used to create the same effect as hearing natural sound heard from different directions, same as that heard in natural hearing. Car audio stereos usually employ 2-channel sound recording and sound reproduction using data for more than one speaker at the same time.
During the mono radio era, the speaker was usually located in the middle of the dashboard. But with the arrival of the new technology in sound system that is the car audio speakers, they are now put in doors and rear parcel shelves in modern cars. Another kind of this stereo system is the stereo CD changers which is good for large drivers.
Amplifiers are there to provide the power for the speakers, and they are rated in watts of power that they provide. Any good system of good car audio speakers requires high-quality amplifiers, and also needs speakers able to handle all of the power that the amplifiers are putting out, or else the amplifiers are largely being wasted.
Car audio stereos have become standard inclusions in most modern vehicles, with the option to choose from a variety of car stereo cd changers, which hold multiple CDs either in the main unit or in the trunk or console. Most common types are External Cartridge, Internal Cartridge and Carousel CD changers. They typically use two channels, each providing data for several speakers. As with natural hearing, sound appears to come from various directions. A good car audio speaker system must have an amplifier. Be sure that the total handling capacity of the car audio speakers connected to the amplifier is greater than the power amplifier.
