Victor Epand asked:
Subwoofers are an essential part of car audio system equipment. It enhances the quality of the songs and plays the otherwise inaudible low sound frequencies. A subwoofer is similar to a regular loudspeaker, but generally amplifies sound frequencies, which range between 60 to 150 Hz.
Cars usually come attached with small speakers, which do not produce low frequencies. So it is often beneficial to use a separate speaker for listening to low frequency sounds. Subwoofers come in different sizes and thus they can perform optimally according to the surroundings.
Buying a subwoofer
When buying subwoofers, one should have a detailed knowledge about subwoofers and sound systems. It is not advisable to have a blasting effect of sound in your car. Car audio system must have amplifiers, woofers and subwoofers to get the right kind of sound effects inside the car. As subwoofers are available in different sizes, one should also know what the right size is for his car. Common sizes available are 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch. The larger the subwoofer, the lower the frequency it will produce. The right size will produce the right effect. One should also decide how many subwoofers to buy. Generally people buy one or two subwoofers for their car stereo system. One is adequate for those who listen to classical, rock, or country, while two are more suited for those who like listening to rap, pop or techno.
Different features of a subwoofer
Subwoofers have the same basic parts as all other speakers. These parts include:
- Basket: It is the metal frame that holds all the components of a subwoofer together. The basket’s firmness and resistance to resonance help determine the subwoofer’s sound quality.
- Box Volume: Box volume listed with each component of subwoofer indicates the recommended interior volume in cubic feet that an enclosure should have to get the best output from the subwoofer.
- Damping Factor: It is the ability of an amplifier to control the electrical current of a subwoofer.
- Dual Voice Coil: While typical speaker drivers have one voice coil, dual voice coil subwoofers have dual voice coil. Parallel wiring or dual coil is provided for maximum amplifier output.
- Frequency Range: Frequency range is the range of sounds from lowest to highest that the subwoofer is capable of reproducing. The actual range can vary depending upon the type of box, crossover point, and the vehicle the subwoofer is installed in.
- Polarity: In order to get the polarity right, the positive speaker terminal must be wired to the positive amplifier terminal, and the negative speaker terminal should be wired to the negative amplifier terminal.
- Peak Power: It is the amount of power the subwoofer can handle as a brief burst during a musical peak.

Then add a specially designed 09-class engine from the world’s greatest high-performance model engine manufacturer; SIRIO, and the performance is simply dynamic! The Inferno’s design has been scaled down so the original structure and shape are reproduced and the Mini-Inferno loses none of its World Championship winning build quality. This machine gives you that irrepressible feeling of GP power like no other. The factory-built chassis is available in this Readyset package including radio system, NiMh receiver battery and starter box. All you need to do is add fuel and batteries for the ultimate GP off-road experience!
Features:
* Features the same high-tech mechanics of the 7-time consecutive World Champion 1/8 Inferno. * Maximum speeds of more than 42km/H achieved with gear ratio optimized for the awesome power of the SIRIO 09 engine! * Key components such as the aluminum main chassis have been reinforced to harness the power of the SIRIO engine. * Readyset comes fitted with the PERFEX KT-3 radio system for stable and responsive control. * Some optional parts from the electric version of the Mini-Inferno can also be installed.
Includes:
* Kyosho Half 8 Mini Inferno 09 * Readyset (Contents below)

The Road to a Better Car Audio System

Lei San asked:
You are now considering purchasing new speakers for your car and there are a number of things that should be thought about in order that you make the best choice possible. Don’t forget that when you go out to buy speakers, you ought to at least have a clear idea of what you plan to buy. Keep in mind too that bigger speakers do not necessarily mean better.
By studying your would-be purchases, you get to avoid paying for perks which you won’t need anyway. The top-caliber car audio speakers that you can get for your ride will always be pricey, but fortunately these are really top-caliber. However, when you make up your mind to get yourself big boom boxes then at least strive for a maximum experience by investing on a good brand name.
When mulling over car stereo speakers, choose from either component or full range speakers, each with its own hits and misses. Full range speakers are the best option if you want to replace the speakers that came with the car; by full range, we mean it must have a tweeter and woofer, and even better if there is a midrange or super tweeter. These styles of speakers also come in a varying range of sizes and prices.
On the other hand, a component speaker set is also good if you need heftier car speakers to install. The plus point with component speakers is that these give you unbeatable value-for-money sound quality as seen in their cutting edge design with each component has been specifically designed to complement each other. Sizable speakers can definitely be members of any component system as long as you make sure that you have all the necessary components for their installation.
The consensus about component systems is that these are hard to beat, and people hunting for an honest to goodness car audio system for their car will not be disappointed. This sound system is not only about greater depth of sound but also a much pulse-racing, head-drumming realistic one as well. The top-notch materials engineering that have been used has led to the remarkable dynamics and rich sound.
But eventually, which leads which anyway? When it comes to which has the upper hand, it depends of course on your car audio needs and on your point of view. It’s really far more complicated than just thinking of a blanket application; brawny and brutish speakers in your car does not automatically mean having the best sound out there. You are bound to see anyway that there are even a wide and bewildering array of speakers there are now available. Don’t fret or get confused however. Stay focused on putting your money on a quality car audio system.
In any case, whatever you end up bringing home at the end of the day will be determined by your budget and your own taste and whether you think you are better off with a do-it-yourself, or an out of the box system. Unsurprisingly, most of the premier brands are still pricey, but the perk is that they do come with a guarantee and service on parts comes smoothly.
