• Hello, today we are going to look at audio
  installation. This article is not intended to act
  as a guide, but to merely provide you with a
  simple overview of car audio installation. If you
  are thinking about installing your own car stereo
  system, you can use the information here to
  research further the various areas of car audio
  installation.
•  
• The first thing to do when designing a car audio
  set up is to think of the goal what are you
  trying to achieve? Do you
•  
• Have the right budget for the goal?
• How much time/money are you willing to expend
  trying to achieve that goal?
• Are you willing to modify the cars interior?
• Do you want to play music as loud as possible?
• Do you want your stereo/speakers to play all the
  nuances of the music?
•

• The answers to these questions will make a
  difference to the installation process. For
  example, if you want the stereo system to play
  nuanced sound, then you will need a walled set
  up, separate speakers, an amp, a subwoofer,
  decent speaker wires, sound proofing material,
  and a sub-woofer.
•  
• If you opt for a subwoofer, then youre going to
  have to ensure that you have a lot of space. You
  need space for the speaker itself, but you also
  need extra depth to allow the music to escape
  from the confines of the space around the
  speaker. If you dont give the speaker sufficient
  space, the audio can sound muffled.
•  
• Next, you need to think about how you might want
  to expand the vehicle in the future. Its
  important that you factor in the space needed for
  any future options that you might decide upon.
  For example, if you have a small amp now, but you
  know that in the future you will want to add more
  power to the system, you will need to factor in
  that space to the existing design.

• This also brings us nicely to another point
  before you start modifying your stereo system,
  consider how you feel about the car. You might
  spend a year or two setting up the perfect
  system, but if youre only going to keep the car
  for three years, is there much point in wasting
  your time? It really depends.
•  
• If you have the money, you could just take your
  car to your local car audio shop, e.g. if you
  live in Ilford, you can just take it to your
  local car audio Ilford and have them create the
  system for you. It will only take a few hours
  you might have to leave the car a day or two for
  the top end system. However, thats much quicker
  than you would probably have done it yourself. It
  also means that you dont have to worry so much
  about things like batteries, power outputs,
  speaker planning, and power planning.

• There are many things to think about when
  planning your sound set up, but here are the main
  ones
• The head unit
• The speakers
• The amplifier
• The power planning which of the above need more
  power and where will this power come from?
• The preparation of the car will you create a
  boxed area for the system, are you going to use
  sound treatment (e.g. sound deadening panels,
  etc.), do you need to modify the car?
• The cross over
• While its quite easy to write out a list, the
  doing part is a lot harder. If you would like
