How to pick up columns to car radio

The car is not intended for high-quality sound reproduction. Due to the asymmetric position of the driver with respect to the speakers, the sound of left speakers reaches the ear much faster than all other speakers. The insanity of the cabin instead of absorbing the sound, reflects it, extraneous noises also make their changes. Selection of columns for car radio - the task is complex, referring to which it is serious.

The main role in choosing columns is played by the power of the radio. It is important not maximum, but nominal power. Manufacturers indicate power in the documentation for the radio or on its body. The rated power of the speakers should be no less, and even better 2-3 times the nominal power of one channel amplifier magnetic. A power reserve will appear, which will not give the sound to distort, and the speakers will not be out of order.

In the documents or on the Magnitol housing, the numbers of permissible load resistance should be indicated. The selection of speakers for this parameter facilitates that most stores offer only two versions of speakers with dynamic head resistance - 4 or 8 ohms. Reducing the resistance is achieved by setting the speakers in parallel to each other.

Sensitivity of speakers gives them more loud sound. This parameter should not be underestimated, because The difference of this indicator is only 3 dB perceived by rumor as a double difference in volume. For example, 93 dB sensitivity speakers play 2 times louder than 90 dB speakers.

You need to determine the place of installation of the columns (the trunk panel, the entry of the doors). Due to this, you can decide on their size, quantity and manufacturer. Not always, the sound quality depends on the number of installed speakers in the car.

The larger the diameter of the columns, the lower frequencies they can reproduce, avoiding distortion. This is important if a subwoofer is not installed. The usual 4-5 inch (10-13 cm) speakers are not enough for good sound. Dynamics by 6-6.5 inches are not suitable for standard holes, so they will have to increase.

Companies that have long been engaged in the production of columns support the quality of their high-level products ("Alpine", "Prology", "Pioneer"). The choice of color and design of the speakers depends on the overall design of the car.

The price of speakers must correspond to the price of the radio. It makes no sense to buy expensive speakers to cheap radio. The columns will not be fully disclosed to the end with non-compliant equipment resources.

Selecting the appropriate acoustics into the car, you should know that truly high-quality sound can be achieved only by the agreed combination of all elements.
