Car audio system may not really affect your transportation system very much. Neither it has anything to do with your car’s speed nor with the safety but still you love to switch it on during your drive. Some even cannot imagine driving a car without music. A good car audio system adds smoothness to your journey and makes it joyful.

Not satisfied with your car’s audio system? Wondering about how to increase your car’s audio system? Searching for answers? Here are few tips on how to maximize your car audio system.

1. Replace your car’s speaker

You can change the sound quality of the system by setting up a set of good quality speakers. It will bring an overall clarity in the sound system. You will be able to hear more stretched bass. Replacing your speakers will give you highest beat for your money and you can experience a new clarity which, I am sure, you would have never heard before.

2. Select a lower level of compression for your music files

You can compress more number of music files and keep them without distorting the sound quality while snooping through your ear buds. But when you compress the files, you definitely lose some low and high frequency information that makes the music out of the ordinary.

So I would advise you to go for a slight compression rather than staying with the default mode. If the bit rate will be high, the music will definitely sound better.

3. Use Dynamat or another sound deadening material

Dynamat creates a stable stage for your vehicle’s speaker. It increases the sound quality in two ways – first of all, it reduces the rattles and vibrations made by the thin metal present in the door panel of your car. Secondly, it deadens the interior blare level in the car which is generated when your car runs fast. It enables you to enjoy the music with more details without stressing your amps.

4. Your crossover can really improve the sound of your system

In many dash boards, now you can get frequency filters that control the outputs. For removing the bass from full volume, use high pass filters. They can help you get clear volume. Connect them to receiver`s power. The associated sound may be strong but you will hear a sound from your back it is the bass sound. You can adjust the bass up and down with you music just by changing the cross over points of the filters with low pass.

5. Use high-quality cables for your amplifiers

The supply of power to your amplifiers mainly decides how your amplifier will work. When you raise the volume, the amplifier demands high electricity. The electricity flow to your amplifier through the cable and, if there is some problem with your cable then your amplifier will never work properly. So for well functioning of your amplifier, you need to use high quality cables that can provide the amplifier required amount of charge mainly in peak point. The receiver and amplifiers must be connected by high quality cables for better flow of signals. So for getting the best quality sound, the use of high quality cables is must. Good quality cables have noise separating capacity, i.e. it can separate the noise produced in the electrical network from the original sound.

6. Add an amplifier

You may think that your stereo can snuff out 200 watts, and that is more than enough of power. But if you use a separate amplifier, you can feel the difference in the quality of the sound the amplifier can create. It provides more spotless power than any vehicle stereo. The music will sound louder and better. A separate amplifier is crucial to create more sounds in your car.

7. Add a signal processor or an equalizer

To maximize the sound quality of your car’s music system, you can add an equalizer or a signal processor. Plastic and glass surfaces reflect sound like wild, while seat covers, carpets and other porous materials infuse it up. You can find noteworthy crests in frequency response in most of the car interiors after including poorly placed speakers. These make your music bang in the shrill or bass in the higher frequencies which may even cause ear fatigue.

Use of signal processor or equalizer can destroy these peaks. You will find multiple options in an outboard equalizer to adjust the frequency responses which can clear up the high peaks in your stereo system. A parametric equalizer lets you to change the width and center-point of each EQ band. The sound processors on the other hand can increase bass response thus eliminating the frequency response peaks.

So what are you waiting for? Use the aforementioned tips and experience crystal clear high sounds in the car. Enjoy.
