Installation Here are other pertinent facts that we think you should know regarding installation of your system. Head UnitThe head unit, the core component, the meat in your audio sandwich, is most often installed in practically the same general location in most models of cars which is under the dash. Almost all modern head units follow a strict standard set by the International Standards Association with regard to their dimensions, so in whatever vehicle, installation would be a breeze in most cases. Some models of head units are different from the others with respect to the manner in which they prefer to be mounted, whether screwed on directly to the car's chassis, slid into a custom sleeve, of snapped into place by restraining devices. Speakers and Amplifiers Of the whole process of putting together a car audio system, the biggest
challenge would be the installation of the speaker and amplifier system.
Depending on your configuration, the amount of money you are willing
to spend and what type of music you will be playing, a number of factors
have to be considered: how many speakers will you be installing, how
large are the speakers you will be installing, and will everyone still
be able to hear after they have left your vehicle. Typically, with the
driver as a reference point, the midrange and tweeters get to be up
front, maintaining the shortest and straightest route to the listener
and thus preserving the audio quality they pump out. The larger woofers
and subs stay at the back where space is at not much of a premium. Most
really huge subwoofers are always mounted inside the trunk since their
output is more of a subsonic thump rather than audible sound and does
not really require a direct to listener route. Most large amplifiers
are also mounted inside the boot almost always with a spare power source,
since the really large amps consume a huge amount of current that they
would drain the conventional car battery, making starting the engine
a problem. Smaller model amplifiers may be mounted within the vehicle
if space, and aesthetics, permit. |
