In general, we have something to offer you;)

Any audio system consists of at least three components – a source, an amplifier and a radiator, and they are all equally important.

Radio installation

Recently, more and more new cars are already equipped with standard head units from the factory, but most often they lag behind the universal models of well-known manufacturers in terms of functionality and sound quality. Therefore, many car owners are faced with the need to replace the radio.

Installing a car radio is a relatively simple matter, but it is better to entrust it to professionals so as not to lose the warranty on the car and radio. In addition, almost always installing a radio requires disassembling the panel, and if you don’t know how this is done, you can break something.

There are a large number of audio devices on the market today. When buying a car radio, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Size: there are 1 DIN or 2 DIN.
1 DIN radio tape recorders are simple (with a removable panel) and also come with a pull-out display. 2 DIN radios are equipped with a large display, so they have an extended set of functions: DVD player, navigation, etc.

2. Universal or “standard”. In addition to a design similar to the design of the standard head unit, special radios can have a display larger than 2DIN, up to 10 “.0003

3. Set of external connectors. The radio tape recorder may have a USB connector on the rear or front panel, an AUX connector for connecting an external sound source (for example, an MP3 player) and a memory card connector. The USB connector is for connecting a flash drive. It is most convenient when the connector is located on the rear panel, then an extension cord is connected to the radio and it can be brought into the glove compartment and every time you do not have to take out the USB flash drive. If the radio has a slot for an SD card, then this is also a big plus, since there is no need to remove it every time.

Speaker installation/replacement

The speaker system is an important aspect that needs to be given great attention when building an overall sound stage.

Installing the front and rear speakers in a car takes place in several stages:

1) Removing the door trim
2) The choice of acoustics of a certain size
3) Installation of all acoustic components and its further connection
4) Assembling

Removing the door trim

In most modern cars, when installing acoustics in a regular place, it is necessary to remove the door trim. Under them there are places for mounting certain speakers.

Speaker Size Selection

16.5 cm caliber speakers are available in most vehicles and can be used to achieve a better overall sound. As a rule, such acoustics are installed in combination with spacer rings. They are necessary so that the speaker magnet does not interfere with the side window going up and down.
If you want to install acoustics in the front doors (front acoustics), then the specialists of our installation center recommend installing two-component acoustics, which consists of a speaker, a tweeter and a crossover. If you want to install acoustics in the rear doors (rear acoustics), then in this case it is recommended to install coaxial acoustics. Here, the tweeter is already combined with the woofer. With such an installation in your car, you will get a well-constructed sound stage.

Installation of all acoustic components and its further connection

At this stage, each component of the acoustic system is installed. This is the installation of the acoustics itself and spacer rings, the installation of tweeters and crossovers. Also a very important point is the soundproofing of the doors. It will not only reduce resonance, but also create a closed volume for the speakers. In this case, the sound quality of the installed acoustics in your car will be much better.

Assembly

After installing the acoustics in the car, the specialists of our installation center check its performance. And only after that the casing is attached back.

Subwoofer installation

A subwoofer is an acoustic device designed to reproduce low frequency sounds. If you want to fully experience the realism of the movie that you watch in your car or if you don’t want to miss a single note in your music collection, then you just need to install a subwoofer in your car.
Subwoofers are divided into two types: active and passive. Passive ones do not have a built-in amplifier and they are connected in parallel with the main speakers or to a separate input. When connected in parallel, the overall power and volume of the entire audio system is reduced – this is a minus. An active subwoofer does not have such a disadvantage. The active subwoofer has a built-in low frequency crossover and a built-in power amplifier. Also, subwoofers are frameless and cabinet. Cased ones are often installed in the trunk, and unframed ones can crash into any convenient place.

Subwoofers are divided into four types according to their structure:
closed type with sealed housing (head mounted in a closed housing)
bass-reflex type (there is a special pipe or slots in the case)
bandpass type (the speaker is located inside the cabinet, and the sound comes out through the bass reflex)

Our installation center specialists will help you choose and install the subwoofer in your car correctly.

Amplifier installation

Installing a power amplifier is necessary to reduce distortion at high volumes and improve sound quality. Everyone has encountered a problem when, when the volume of the radio is increased to the maximum, the speakers begin to distort the sound and wheeze. The rated power of the simplest speaker systems is approximately 28-30 W, while the radio has only 18-22 W. It’s the car radio itself. With an increase in the volume of the head unit above 80-85%, it is she who gives distortion. To raise the level of distortion and improve the sound quality of the entire system as a whole, it is necessary to install an additional power amplifier.

Amplifiers are mono and stereo, 2-, 4-, 5-channel, rarely 3- and 6-channel.
Two-channel amplifiers are installed on a pair of speakers: front, rear or subwoofer. The subwoofer in this combination is connected in a bridged connection. The installation of three-channel amplifiers is designed to connect speakers: front, rear and subwoofer. But such amplifiers are rare, since the output to connect the subwoofer is weak, and the subwoofer needs power.
The most popular amplifiers are four-channel. These amplifiers are used to drive a complete speaker system, or a pair of speakers with a subwoofer in a bridged connection. In this case, the power is enough for the speaker system and the subwoofer.
Before installing the amplifier, you must first determine what exactly it will “pump”. If only a speaker system, then it is better to take a higher-class amplifier with additional settings, since acoustics need the quality of the output signal. If you want to connect a speaker system and a subwoofer, it is recommended to use two amplifiers – 4-channel and 2-channel. In this case, we take a four-channel amplifier of high quality, and we take a two-channel amplifier of high power
A monoblock is necessary exclusively for a subwoofer that is capable of operating at high power.
