Front Speakers, Front Stage

Car-Audio-Staging

Customized car audio systems provide the best audio experience. For example, high-end front and rear speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers form the core of the car audio system. In addition, there are also digital signal processors, sound dampeners, and power cabling that contribute to the fidelity of the audio quality. Every aspect of the sound’s tailored to your vehicle.

Center Stage

Building up the audio system begins with the area referred to as the front stage. This is where most of the sound will be exiting the speakers, so the placement of the custom build is critically important for obtaining the best audio experience. The typical audio setup consists of a tweeter, a midrange speaker, and a woofer for the bass frequencies. However, the placement of each speaker might vary slightly, and this depends on the various materials and shapes of paneling within the vehicle’s interior.

Here’s just one example of a build for a high-end audio installation:

  • Custom build included SUB 10WM, 3.5M midrange speakers, TBM tweeters, and 8WM mid-bass driver.

Rear Speakers, Rear Fill

The front stage area is where the mid-range speaker and tweeter provide the core of the sound coming towards the listener in the front seats. However, there is also the back of the vehicle to consider. This is where professional audio designers use rear fill. This is based on active crossover technology, which typically uses a coaxial for the rear fill.

Rear speakers play sound reflected off the interior of the car. Active crossovers divide the audio signal’s frequency spectrum into high, middle, and low shelves.

Audio tuning modifies these bands, comparable to using a parametric equalizer in software. This allows the technician to program the sound range and frequency bandwidths to improve the musical genre projected to be most popular in that car. The speaker crossover may be in the cabinet circuitry or before the first pre-amp.

Subwoofers

subwoofersFocal subwoofers provide efficient control over the quality of the bass-end frequency range.

Tuning a Car Audio System, Overview

HELIX-DSP-ULTRA

The concept of tuning a car audio system might seem a little strange at first; after all, most people associate tuning with musical instruments but not audio equipment. This is an interesting use of the term, and there is certainly some justification for doing so. Adjusting the car’s settings improves the music being played.

Some individuals retune the system if the target frequency range changes drastically. However, bass, mid, and high-frequency dials produce sound profiles. This is like utilizing a graphic equalizer’s high-pass or low-pass filter. Moreover, adjust the frequency range knobs until the audio comes through the speakers without noise and distortion.

  • The treble controls adjust the high-frequency range, which determines the brightness. Untuned systems may muffle and obscure frequencies.
  • The listener’s bass preferences must be adjusted. For example, some people want to have a booming sound on the low-frequency end while others might prefer this range to be clean and undistorted.
  • Class D amplifiers: The choice of a Class D amplifier with full range in mono is one of the many optional enhancements that the vehicle customization process might include. The amplifier is a major component in any car audio system, and class D amplifiers offer an amazing amount of power considering their relatively small size. Car audio-friendly design expands installation options.
