Building a music system in a car

Installing a music system in a car consists of the following steps: listening and selecting all components, their subsequent installation and configuration. Let's consider each stage in more detail.

Listening and selecting components

When choosing acoustics, you need to determine its size and mounting location. Most often it is installed in the podiums on the door. It is necessary to take into account the size with the installation depth. Often, the internal filling of the door is also necessary to adjust to the acoustic system.

Helpful hints:

Well-proven 2-component speakers. We advise you to choose products of well-known brands.

The amplifier should be made of quality materials, equipped with an additional system from overload and overheating. A good mechanism will give you a quality sound.

The wires are power, acoustic and interconnects. Here for the quality corresponds to its own capacity, inductance.

The condenser. There is an unspoken rule: for 500 watts. the nominal power will be enough 0.5 F. Choose automatic models to avoid making mistakes while connecting the mechanism.

Determine the installation plan in advance:

Head unit — front — subwoofer — 4-channel amplifier. This is the standard option, which is used by 80% of drivers. Such popularity is due to simple setup and installation. Due to the compact arrangement of all components, the systems are economical.

Head unit — front — rear — subwoofer — 5-channel amplifier. It is based on the first version of the installation. There is added a sound of the rear, which is important for passengers sitting behind. It differs by more complicated editing.

Head unit — front — subwoofer — 2-channel amplifier on the front — 2-channel amplifier. Ideal for drivers who prefer a powerful bass.

Head unit — front — subwoofer — 4-channel amplifier on the front — 2-channel amplifier on the sub. This is the most expensive option, but also the best one. So, there is no need for crossover due to channel gain.

For more powerful and high-quality sound, we recommend making noise and vibration isolation of the car.

Installing Music Components

First, you need to transfer the power wires to the cabin from the engine compartment. We carry the plus and minus wire from the battery through the holes in the engine compartment. To prevent short circuits, the wires are additionally "dressed" in a piece of plastic or rubber tube.

Important: The positive wire must be connected through a flask with a fuse. The bulb should be at a distance of up to 30 cm from the battery.

High-frequency speakers are installed on the lining of windscreen pillars. That is, we literally force the speakers to play the reflection: the left plays on the right seat, and the right one — on the left.

We carry out acoustic, inter-unit and power wires to the amplifier. The latter should be located separately from the first two. Perhaps their intersection at an angle of 90 degrees.

Now the final stage of the installation is to connect the wires to the amplifier and connect the subwoofer. About the latter there is one nuance. If the subwoofer is in the finished enclosure, then the owners of the sedan need to install the element with a speaker to the rear seat back, hatchback or estate wagon owners — towards the 5 door.

Setting Up Your Music System

So, the installation work is over. Now you need to adjust the speaker system. There are 3 steps in total:

For a subwoofer on amplifiers, set the filter to the "LPF" position. The frequency varies between 50 and 70 Hz.

For the front channel, put the filter in the "HPF" position with a frequency of 70-90 Hz.

The sensitivity is set as follows: on the amplifier — 0, on the radio, make the volume to a maximum. We increase the sensitivity until distortions appear, we subtract a little and get the ideal parameter.

As you can see, installing an acoustic system is not so difficult.
