The pursuit of car audio can add a sense of pleasure to the driving process. In the process of pursuing a car audio system that suits oneself, there are always many people who are prone to falling into some misconceptions, leading to not being able to feel the correct and good sound in these misconceptions.
Today, let's take a look at the common misconceptions about car audio that are easy to come by
Misconception 1: The more expensive the better, the larger the brand, the better
Many people believe that the more expensive the sound system is, the better it is. The larger the brand, the better it is, so they rarely pay attention to its sound quality and applicability. At this time, it is easy to overlook some brands with higher cost-effectiveness. The brand and price of car audio systems have certain reference value, but they are not the only criteria for evaluating their quality. When choosing to upgrade the car audio system, consider your own situation and make a comprehensive decision.
Misconception 2: The better the performance parameters, the better it is
Some people believe that the better the parameters of equipment such as speakers and amplifiers, such as power, sensitivity, frequency response, etc., the better the product. Actually, it's not the case.
Parameters are only a reference standard for audio equipment and cannot fully represent its sound quality and performance. Because some car enthusiasts believe that parameters are everything, some audio equipment even falsely label parameters to mislead car enthusiasts, ultimately resulting in the sound quality not achieving the desired effect.
So the parameters of audio equipment cannot explain everything, it is a reference value for others to have a basic understanding of the performance of the equipment itself.
Misconception 3: Excessive pursuit of "original sound reproduction"
Some people say that the highest level of audio upgrade is the reproduction of the original sound. The reproduction of the original sound is certainly good, but do not lose yourself in the pursuit process. Invest too much time, energy, and money into it, and the final result may not be the ideal sound quality effect.
In addition, music itself has its own artistic quality, and everyone has a certain difference in their understanding and perception of music. In addition, sound is a very subjective thing, so pursuing the so-called "original sound reproduction" should not be the only criterion for everyone to evaluate a sound system, but follow the inner voice.
Misconception 4: Excessive pursuit of high fidelity
Overly pursuing high fidelity while neglecting the practicality of sound systems is a misconception that many people easily fall into. High fidelity audio systems typically require higher costs and complex configurations, as well as higher requirements for sound sources
Although a high fidelity audio system is good, it needs to be combined with actual situations, and the one that suits oneself is the best. Of course, if there is no budget limit and the ultimate goal is high fidelity audio, then buy it casually.
Misconception 5: Neglecting the impact of sound insulation on sound systems
The interior space environment of the car is complex, and coupled with increased noise during driving, the sound quality of the audio system will be affected by these factors.
So, in order to achieve a purer sound effect, professional sound insulation needs to be done before making the sound system, and the most basic thing is to do four door sound insulation. The four door sound insulation can create a sealed box inside the car, allowing the speakers inside the car to have a good box, thus producing a more perfect sound effect.
Misconception 6: Ignoring the audio source
Some people believe that sound equipment is the most important, as long as the entire set of sound equipment is good enough, no matter which type of music file it is, it can play high-quality sound.
The sound source is the source of music and has a significant impact on the performance of the audio system. If the sound source quality is poor, even with high-end audio systems, high-quality sound cannot be achieved.
So, when purchasing music, it is necessary to have high-resolution music files to ensure high-quality sound sources, so as to achieve the desired effect.
Misconception 7: Neglecting the importance of wires and wiring
In sound systems, wires are like blood vessels, and their importance is self-evident. However, many people overlook the importance of wiring when upgrading car audio systems, believing that as long as the speakers, amplifiers, and other equipment are good, good sound quality can be achieved.
High quality cables paired with good speakers, amplifiers, etc. are essential for achieving true original sound reproduction. Of course, professional and reasonable wiring is also the guarantee of the ultimate ideal sound effect.
Don't ignore seemingly inconspicuous wires and wiring. If you choose low-quality wires and don't have professional wiring, even a good speaker won't produce good sound.
The above are the misconceptions that many people often encounter during the process of upgrading car audio systems. The main goal of car audio modification is to please oneself. As long as it is suitable for oneself, it is the most passionate audio system. Do not blindly believe in so-called things and fall into misunderstandings.
