Car Amps & Equalizers
Car Amplifiers, Equalizers and Sound Processors - Do you have a problem with distortion? You may want to add an amplifier
When shopping for car amplifiers, Eq's or Sound Processors there are a few things you must pay close attention to. The power of the subwoofers you want to amplify, and does the stereo you are using have preamp outputs?
Amplifiers:
Most stereos contain built in amplifiers, but they're usually not very powerful 50 watts by 4 speakers in most cases. A dedicated amplifier is needed when you want to create a more powereful sound experience. One of the key features of good amplifiers is that they allow you to increase volume without increasing distortion at the same time.
The whole purpose of an amplifier is to increase the audio signal strength. This strength of an amp is measured by RMS. The RMS of an amp should be matched to the power handling of the speakers, which is different in every car audio system. An optimum ratio to shoot for is an RMS that is somewhere between 75 and 150 percent of the power that the speakers can handle, and overpowering the speakers a little is better than severely underpowering them.
Equalizers:
These devices boost or cut specific frequencies in an audio signal. The most common and simple equalizers are tone controls. They help shape the sound to suit the music, listening environment, and your personal preferences. An Equalizer lets you tune the sound of your car's audio system by giving you tone adjustment not covered by standard treble, midrange and bass controls.
Sound Processors:
These devices divide up the music into bands, and then send that music to particular speakers, such as subwoofers, midranges and tweeters. They can fine-tune each and every speaker in your vehicle individually, based on output level, crossover points and digital delay.
