Need of Car Stereo AmplifiersDo you listen to music while driving all the time if not mostly? Then adding an amplifier to your car stereo will be the right choice, as it is going to give you way good response than the stock system. Amplifier RequirementsWhen choosing an amplifier, we need to get at least the following information.
1) RMS and PMPO and signal to noise ratio of the circuit.
2) Output impedance
3) Rated voltage and power requirement
4) Frequency response. ConstraintsIf your car Head Unit doesn't have a low level output, your amplifier will need a high level input. This allows you to connect the speaker wires from the radio directly to the amplifier. Select a location where the amplifier will get plenty of air so it won't overheat Car Stereo Amplifiers InstallationInstalling a car audio amplifier yourself is an easy task that not only saves some money but also will give the confid ...

Buy wide screen navigation deviceIf you are a first time user of GPS Navigation devices, then you may consider using The Garmin Nuvi 205W. There are not many options in the 2x5 line. Since you are interested in a simple and yet useful device, this device will fit you well. NUVI 205W is properly loaded with only essential features for the most basic navigations. However there are really good features that will easily make the navigation very simple and effective. The best feature (at least to me) is, a new "Where am I?" option that can be used to locate the amenities near the current location. Feature of excellence"Where Am I?" is a feature can be found in the Tools menu from this Garmin's Navigation Gadget. Basically this utility is useful to find out your current GPS coordinates/elevation. Apart from this, you can also find the nearest address, and the nearest amenities. I use this ...

Car Crossovers for better sound qualityCrossovers are usually used to filter the frequencies that are not required for the specific speaker setup. When you put a car crossover for the tweeter, usually high frequencies only be allowed. And the same time the low frequencies should be filtered. Other wise tweeter may get damaged due to heavy movement of voice coil. Like said for woofers the high frequencies should be filtered and low frequencies only allowed. For mid range speakers the peak high and peak low frequencies are removed. Crossovers are normally comes in two flavours, either passive or active Passive car crossoverPassive crossovers do not need the power for the circuit. Usually for a tweeter, a capacitor range around 4.7 micro farad will be used in series with the tweeter. For Woofers, a capacitor can be run in parallel and coil( inductors ) can be running in series to form. This is to just to have an idea of how this passi ...

Car Capacitors to handle power surgeCar Capacitors or condensers are by nature store electric energy, and dispense when there is a demand. This allows Capacitors used in electronic circuits to filter out distortions in the flow. Larger the capacitance (measured in farads) the larger it can hold the electricity. However the voltage handling capacity also noted before choosing. Failure to do so will lead to damage. The battery in the cars is designed to supply power to all the factory-installed components and accessories. Whenever you add accessories that drain the power like amplifiers, equalizers, active subwoofers, the batteries current supply will not handle the demands. If you feel that the power seems ok on normal conditions, but distorted when there is a heavy bass. It is a clear indication that we can use Car Capacitors to handle the amplifiers power demand up to some extends temporarily. Most of the cases you can see the head light will dim when there is ...

Amplifiers with surround soundWhen the stock stereo systems started get boring, or when you are into the surround sound, there is a need for multiple surround channel amplifiers. Recently 5 channel car amplifiers are being installed into the cars, because of the great sound and the possibility of installing into the cars are becoming easier now a days. Even though the functionality is little more than a stereo with extra sound channels, The important and basic things to note is the Head Unit, amplifiers and the respective speakers. If you are new to this field, you will get confused with various terms like Dolby Pro Logic, Digital surround, DTS, THX. The fact is there are variety of surround formats, because of each company’s proprietary designs and formats.
How to Choose?When choosing which 5 channel car amplifier to get, it is also smart to look into the classes. Check whether the class of the amp that you are getting is compatible with your car. ...

Mono Amplifier As the name says Mono amplifiers are single channel amps. Basically used for low-frequency applications. Since mono amplifiers are stable to 2-ohms, you can connect them safely to two 4-ohm woofers (wired in parallel). Or a DVC Subwoofer as mentioned in my earlier articles In most car applications, a mono amplifier is used to deliver power to a single channel subwoofer. The mono amplifier produces and as well configured to deliver low frequency at a single power signal which is ideally suited to a subwoofer. Since a mono amp is more stable in maintaining electrical current resistance when power demands increase based on impedance, two subwoofers can be wired together to a single mono amp for efficient performance Types of AmplifiersSeveral types of amplifiers available in the market based on the circuits, I am discussing few here these classifications are basically based on the circuits of the transistors used. And this articl ...

DVC SubWoofers for carA subwoofer is a complete woofer typically between 8" and 21" in diameter and contained in a typical enclosure. Basically a subwoofer is used to reproduce a low frequency bass in the range of 20- 120 Hz. Subs are supplement to the main loudspeakers. Subwoofers are mostly made by mounting one or more woofers in a wooden container.
There are two basic categories
1) Active Subwoofer- A subwoofer with inbuilt amplifier
2) Passive Subwoofer- A subwoofer without a inbuilt amplifier Subwoofers comes in various enclosure designs
Bass reflex: With a port or tube in the enclosure
Infinite baffle: very large sealed enclosure
Band pass: is a two chamber enclosure, one is sealed another is with a port Dual voice coil subwoofers or DVC SubwooferAs we have seen, the integral part of a subwoofer is woofer. Normally w ...

Car PC motherboard in Mini ITX form factor Are you looking for a cute little motherboard to fit into the car PC? You are in the right place.
Here I would like to share few details about the usage of Mini-ITX motherboard in the car pc.
This article may not be concentrating on the architecture of the CPU, chipset etc... But I will explain why Mini-ITX is good for a car pc. What is Mini ITX motherboardBasically the Mini-ITX motherboards are based on the FormFactor. The FormFactor of these motherboards are in 170 mm x 170 mm. which is the standard of Mini ITX. That’s the reason these motherboards re called as mini ITX motherboards. Few other FormFactors are Micro ATX, Flex ATX, and PICO ITX If you have worked in embedded you may not feel that it is very small because the embedded motherboards are also very small in nature. But if you are a PC hardware assembler and mostly working in ATX based boards ...

Data Storage options in Car PCThough I built the Car PC and satisfied with the installations, I still feel the entire system is sluggish. The main reason is, I am using a old 800MHZ c3 processor. I am in the process of upgrading the PC hardware including the case. Here I have done few analyses on hard disk part, let’s see how it goes. From my analysis, there are few options for main storage in a car pc SSD IDE drivesEven though the Solid State Disks are the best performers the price of this disks are yet be bit costlier. But one thing to note is the prices of SSD are coming down and should be a good choice in the near future. How ever the total setup is very simpler when compared to the rest PROS: faster boot times
CONS: price Compact Flash cardsThe compact flash cards have the limited write issue. EWF can be used to avoid frequent writes.
Setting up this with IDE requires additional hardware. And setting up EWF nee ...
