You must have often wondered about the thunderous sound coming from another car beside yours when stopped on a signal, must have made comparisons over your audio system. Well, the rumbling timbre of the sound is because of the car audio subwoofers. Now the right frequency of the audio system is very necessary and if the stereo lacks it then time and again you feel like throwing your stereo system away.

A subwoofer is an extremely significant component of a stereo system. It is a kind of a loudspeaker including a bass to detect the least audible frequencies and the high quality of the sound. Usually a subwoofer is utilized in home theaters but it makes the experience of having it installed in a car just the same.

Subwoofers. The bass. The loudness. The glory. The most obnoxious component in your system, and also, one of the most necessary.

If you’ve read my article about speakers, you’re up to speed. If you haven’t (and don’t know anything about speakers or subwoofers), read it here.

Car Audio

Subwoofers reproduce the lowest frequencies of the audio spectrum, AKA bass. They are essential to both SQ and SPL systems, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look now…

For SQ systems: Effectively reproduce the lowest frequencies making the music sound full and powerful. Instruments that play lower frequencies such as organs, drums and synthesizers will sound more realistic and powerful with a subwoofer installed.

Car Audio Wiring

A significant part of your entire car audio system consists of just wires. There are all kinds of cables and wires involved in installing a car audio system. You have power wires, speaker wires, amplifier cables, power capacitors, and what not. It is always better to be equipped with at least the basics before you go in for car audio installation.

The power wire is an important part of the amplifier installation. Select the proper gauge and fusing. A proper gauge prevents the amplifier from being choked off by the size limitations of the wire. Choose power wires with lots of strands, so that they are easier to install and don’t break while passing through the numerous corners of the car. The jacket of the wire should be of a material, which can resist chemicals like oil and battery acids, which can wreak havoc on substandard wires.

Car Audio Capacitor 101

A car audio capacitor makes a great accessory in your car audio system. It will ensure that your speakers are getting enough power at all times, especially during stress conditions where all the needed power puts a strain on your car’s battery. If your lights dim when you use your car audio system, this is because your amplifier will draw more power than your car’s electrical system can handle.

A capacitor will fix this problem because its sole duty is to keep a reserve of power. Your car’s voltage will never drop while your system is playing as long as you have a capacitor. An example of this is if your system hits a really low bass note, you will notice that your lights will dim because your amplifier is drawing more power that it normally does – your car’s battery cannot handle the increased stress.
