Positioning the speakers – I have seen many, many audio installations that have invested a lot of money but were far below results possibilities purchased equipment. To get the most out of your system and even to get what you want without having to buy expensive equipment you should give lots and lots of attention to positioning the speakers-with particular attention to some basic rules.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
First, I learned that experience is best to spend your money on, expensive speakers for the “front” of the car, not the back. Think and you want all the quality and dynamic front, right? How many concerts have you been where you sat with his back to the scene? And more, because they are close, you have the bonus of more volume and less consumption.

The human ear is able to locate the position in space of sound sources, such as a speaker. This is accomplished by a simple calculation of the brain: the time difference between sound reception by one ear and the other. So to get a balanced sound and effective “surround” speakers need to be at equal distance from the ear, that is equidistant.

This is why so many modified cars have speakers, tuned in angle, installed in places around the foot, the best place for their location in front to ensure equi-distance. Speakers factory installed in these places do nothing than to lavish sound to his feet, so to avoid this will require their placement in front but angled so that you direct the sound to the interior compartment.

Where can if desired separated components as mid range sites (circles) and high to be tied with, their fitting remote location will trick the brain and sounds will not be precise and “surround the” affected. The best thing would be to mount a tweeter and a woofer to 6 inches apart, coaxial speakers mounted woofer and tweeter in the middle is the ideal solution.

BAS! Everyone loves bass. Bass is not directed, that you can mount a subwoofer about anywhere and have the same result. In fact why find a particular mounted subwoofer can be placed anywhere: fixed the floor behind the seats, in the trunk behind the rear seat, anywhere and all are heard, what counts is to be positioned head up.

Location of the speakers (top and oriented face to the front doors), a pair of speakers MB Quart 5.25-inch (2-way coaxial) related to a amplifier and a 12-inch subwoofer connected to amplifier sounds simple but will ensure that you wont make a fool out of yourself. The efficiency of a car audio system is the final link on the installation of sound: Price of output – the car speakers. Alpine ensure that the signal emitted by the central unit of the audio system reach the ears of the container intact and undisturbed.

Parrot launches new range of music control systems made for iPod

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Parrot - the wireless mobile telephone accessories company, not the bird – has recently launched a new range of iPod-enabled music control systems for your car. The MKi series features 2 microphones, speech synthesis (text to speech) and USB mp3, and works with iPods and iPhones. The three new models are the MKi9000, MKi9100 and MKi9200. Each comes with an independent RF remote control.

Only the basic model, the MKi9000, doesn’t have a screen – the other two feature a blue OLED 2 lines display (9100) and a color TFT 2.4’ dot matrix (9200). The screens of the latter two models are detachable for improved security. All of them feature spoken called ID, with the two more advanced models also displaying it.

Grom USB car interface streams music from a flash drive

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Nowadays you’ve got many ways of streaming music in your car, be it with an FM transmitter or a car tape adapter. The inconvenience is obvious: you need an mp3 player (with a working battery… as many of us have found out, iPods do tend to die during long trips).

GROM USB MP3 Car Interface

The GROM USB MP3 Car Interface eliminates that problem: it connects any flash drive directly to the car stereo. Unfortunately, right now you can only use it if you own an Audi, BMW or Volkswagen. But there’s good news for Acura, Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes, Škoda, and Toyota owners: a version for their cars is planned for this month, so be on the lookout.

Woman’s voice inside your trunk will scare potential victims away

Monday, May 12th, 2008

If you’re after a quirky gadget for your car and you don’t mind that you’ll scare people, Our Lady of the Trunk should be yours. When wired to your brake light, this slightly disturbing speaker will let people know when you are backing up. In a woman’s voice. 100dB worth of it.

Since anyone who hears a lady’s voice coming out of the trunk will be scared to death, you can rest assured that they’ll run off, safely out of your way.

Car casette MP3 player blends new tech with the old

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

If you have a new car, chances are it came equipped with an MP3 player. But if you own an older vehicle, you might still have a casette player. If that is the case and you don’t want to connect an iPod or similar player, you can simply get a memory card and the Car Cassette MP3 Player.

This unique player can read SD cards and, if one isn’t enough for all the music you need, you can simply get more and swap them. You charge it via USB and, when you’re out of the car you can just get your headphones and use it as a stand alone MP3 player.

Retro VW van plays records

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

If you don’t know what to buy for your VW fan friend, you can skip all the modern licensed products this time and go for something old-fashioned and original.

Soundwagon Portable Record Player

Originally launched in the ‘70, the Soundwagon Portable Record Player has been reborn. This retro licensed VW van is actually a record player: if placed on a vinyl, it moves along at 33 1/3 speed and uses its speakers to render the music.

While it can be pretty impressive for people who weren’t around in the golden days of records, the downside is there isn’t a 45 RPM model and, of course, the sound isn’t nowhere near perfect.

Of course, it probably won’t ever be used to play records, but make sure the recipient at least has one 33 1/3 record to show it off to curious guests.

You can get it for $89 at Turntable Lab.

Do you need speakers for your bike? Check out the View Gate VMP-300

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Speakers on a motocycle don’t make much sense… But perhaps you want to listen to music while standing still. If you feel this is the accessory your bike was missing, check out the View Gate VMP-300 Motorbike Speakers. They have a 25W output, have built-in 15W amplifiers and are powered by 12V DC. They come a handy attachment kit for quick mounting and they’re 81×90×101 mm in size.

They can be connected to any music player with a standard connection – but it would have to be pretty sturdy to stand the bike trip. They are available for about $100.

Motorcycle Engine USB Hub: Start the noise!

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I never thought I would ever ride a motorcycle, but last year I tried my luck and fell in love with it. Nevertheless, I don’t ride a motorcycle during winter, but I sometimes miss the noise. Not anymore, with the Motorcycle Engine USB Hub.
