Building car audio, some of the rules of buildong car audio Options

[tommy_boy]

To build a good car audio system, first you want to make a budget, this is the main point of the planning. If you dont have money for components of preference class, you cant buy anything.

The second part of the planning is to draw all the things what you want to give in the car. One member of DLS Sweden team, who won the SQ of EMMA in Budapest, draw all the components in AutoCAD. It takes him over 500 hours. But it look great. Its simply and have the best sound quvality.

Lot of people thinks that car audio is olny give 8 subwoofers in the car, and its over. If you want to build good system, you must have knowledge about acoustic and have lot of practical skills.

The most important rule in building good autohofi system is that: YOU WILL HEAR THE MUSIC, NOT WATCHING. This means, the desing of the system is important, but the funcional side of the project.

If you want to build a good audiosystem, you must use good components of the same class. It absurde to buy Sony headunit for 200 USD and JBL A6000Gti amplifter for 6000 USD. Its nosens. It is only one of the extrems, and its only an example. But if you are buying components you must have everything in one class.

I prefer brands, whitch makes only car audio. I dont want to say that Sony or Kenwood dont have good woofer, but if you look an the catalog of Alpine, Clarion or Audison and Focal - you will see , and hear the difference. But its not a rule. Pioneer is one of the best brand in the car audio segment. their new woofer with max. 5000W is great. and their new headunits Mp-90 are good too, or the Avic-X1 won lot of awards all over the world.

My dream audiosystem:
headunit: Clarion or Alpine
amplifters: Audison (or Ground Zero)
speakers: there are lot of producers, whitch makes great speakers (Focal, DLS, Dynaudio), but I prefer "technical" music and for them are perfect speakers of German producer Ground Zero - Plutonium or Nuclear series.
Subwoofer: there is no question: GZPW 15 XQ. This subwoofer is KILLER!!! It has the best technical data. I think 15", 4500W, Xmax:3" !!! this has great SPL. And If you have 2 or 4 of this kind of woofers in your car, you will win all the SLP drag competitions. And it is cheap!!! In Slovakia you can buy this for 49990 SKK (1800USD). I think it is great price. If you know about better, please write about it. Tanks.
There are many and many other components of the system but Im too tired to write here 2 pages of components. These are the main.



If you want something or want help with chooseing of components, write me. I will help you with anything, If I can.
