It is important to take CD and radio specifications into account when buying a new car, repairing an old car or updating your car's stereo system. According to the Car Stereo website, owners should consider sound options, wiring and the size and shape of specs when working with radios and CD players. Specs will also change as systems become more advanced. Specifically, standard car stereos will often have less-advanced specs than surround-sound systems with added speakers and subwoofers.
Sound Basics
Increasing the number of car speakers will not necessarily improve sound quality. Car Stereo states that automobile systems with too many speakers can experience frequency glitches and system malfunctions. Basic car systems should be equipped with a pair of front speakers with sound adjustment mechanisms which can operate clearly at 60 Hz. To enhance the sound, buy an amplifier with a maximum power rating of 100 watts.
CD Players and Subwoofers
A smooth signal is one of the most important specs to consider when buying a car CD player, according to Car Stereo. Choosing an individual CD player over a cassette tape/CD combination device will also ensure a stronger sound. One of the best ways to boost CD sound output (specifically bass frequencies) is adding subwoofers. Use two 10-inch subwoofers with a maximum sound energy output of 200 watts.
Upgrading Designs
Upgrading car radio and CD systems may mean adding other components. Every subwoofer should be connected to its own amplifier to ensure clear channels, though a single "two-channel amplifier" is an option to power dual subwoofers if you are on a tight budget. Including dual sound equalizers and rear speakers are good options if they are within your budget. All amplifiers should also be equipped with RCA sound technology for crisp, clean sound.
