Tips for Choosing a Car Audio

In the audio field, especially Audio Car (Car Audio), ordinary amplifier also known as power. The use of amplifiers in Car Audio system aims to strengthen the voice signal coming from the main source or the head unit which will then be streamed to the speakers. So the charge amplifier receives a signal from the noise source and process it so that the sound signal has a power that is bigger and stronger so the speaker can make a sound because the maximum intake of energy needed in the issue of sound waves.
 

       Car Audio Amplifier for use, generally known by the type of multi-channel and monoblock. Multi-channel amplifiers are generally used to amplify the output (output) Audio Sound signals in the form of electrical current to the speaker (Tweeter, Midrange, Midbass or Coaxial speakers), while for the type of monoblock, used specifically to strengthen the signal to be channeled to the subwoofer is a very requires a great power (Audio Sound).

Amplifier is also known by some type of amplifier (Audio Sound), the type of class (Class) A, B, AB, D, Hybrid, Tube (Tube) and each type has its own character, the power output is different, namely:
Class A: Having the best quality to produce quality sound, but very wasteful of energy and heat faster. The price for this type are generally priced at a very expensive, generally can be more than 20 million per unit, but even then it depends on the brand.

Class B: No heat and not wasteful of energy, but has the quality to produce a fairly good sound.

Class AB: It is the most widely used by car audio players, because his character is a combination of amplifier class A and B, so it can be more efficient and flexible for use in car audio system and have a better quality of class B.

Class D: This species is most often used to drive a subwoofer and used to the concept of SPL (Sound Pressure Level) because the class D amplifier has the power (Watts) is large, and to endure to below 1 Ohm, so as to produce a more dynamic bass sound and usually it is the kind of class D monoblock amplifier.Hybrid: This type of amplifier is an electronic component using a transistor and tube (tube). The incorporation of these compounds makes this type of amplifier is capable of producing a characteristic sound quality is quite thick with a good tonal accuracy as full tube amplifier, but still can be had at a price that is affordable. Hybrid amplifier types usually have a price ± 4 million-an * (depending on brand)

Tube (Tube): Members of enthusiast car audio amplifier to know more of this type can produce a quality sound with the character of the vowel sounds more natural, thick and stiff / dry, but the amplifier tube type, generally have a very expensive price to have, the price range be above 40 million dollars.

Given the difference in quality, character and components of each type of amplifier, proving that quality amplifier can also determine the character and quality of sound produced in an automobile Sound Audio system. For it before buying a lot of the amplifier should not be considered to be the wrong choice, here are some tips on choosing an amplifier (Audio Cars):

1. Choose amplifier with RMS values ​​(watts) is large and its THD is small.
2. The design and quality materials are also still must be considered.
3. Adjust power / RMS amplifier with speaker needs to be used. Power amplifier must conform to or greater than the required speaker, because if the power is smaller than the needs of the speakers can cause damage to the speakers being used, because of the 'signal clipping'.
4. Select the brand of amplifiers that have a formal guarantee from the relevant brands
5. Find information from various media or ask a trusted car audio installer before purchasing an amplifier.

Finally close the interview with the SO, Johny provide information that should not let an amplifier (Car Audio) not used in quite a long period of time, because it can cause damage electronic components.
