I found myself getting interested in car audio installation when I had to make some changes in the existing audio system in my car.

There were hundreds of things I wanted to know about and the little manual that came along with the new units just did not seem to be able to answer most of my questions.

I found out that most experts in this line are those who have learnt more by research and trial and not by attending some regular training classes.

Yet, there are many people like me who would rather get a formal training in the installation of car audio systems. This quest for knowledge led me to the discovery of such training classes in and around the area where I live.

What can you learn in a training class?

Firstly, when you have made up your mind to start attending classes, it is obvious that the teacher would be someone who has handled a great many car audio installations himself. This is rather important because only he would be in a position to answer most of your questions, even the silly ones.

Secondly, you would learn to install a system under the supervision and guidance of an expert which would definitely make the learning a lot easier. Thirdly, you would be encouraged to do the installations by yourself after a certain number of days.

Lessons taught in a car audio installation class

o The best and the most compatible audio system depending upon the make of the car.

o Tips and tricks to install components

o How to achieve more clarity and power for best audio or video.

o Servicing existing systems

o In-depth knowledge about each and every part used in the system

o Get to know the latest gadgets available and their specifications

Car Audio - How To Install Car Audio

Do you want to save some money by installing a car audio system yourself? To install a car audio system, it is not that hard after all, and you definitely can do it. Doing a car audio installation is a very rewarding experience for you too, as you will get to learn a lot from it. Once you get it installed, you will feel a sense of satisfaction from it. Now go and get your desired system.

What is next after you have bought the system? When you are installing it, you must be very careful as you will not want to damage your expensive system. Most of the audio systems are no-brainers to install. They have shaped sockets and slots which would only fit where it is supposed to be installed. It is advisable for you to follow the instruction manual and proceed methodically.

Before the installation, you have to determine what kind of rig you are going to put into your car first. If you are a beginner in car audio installation, it is advisable for you to start from a simple system. Leave the more complicated stuffs like LCD installation and motorized parts to the professionals.

One of the easiest things to install is the head units. Most head units follow a standard size. For most of the cars, once the factory radio is removed, the aftermarket radio will fit in the hole. However, some cars may have hole which is too big, and in this case, you will need a kit to install it. To get kits required for installation, you can visit any car audio stores in your town.

Basically, there are 2 types of mounting in a car audio installation. The first is the ISO mounting. It is when the radio can be screwed to existing factory radio brackets. Most Japanese cars are ISO mounted. The second type of mounting is the ring mounting. It is when an aftermarket radio comes with a metal ring that gets mounted to the factory radio hole. In many cars, dash and trim rings have to be filed in order to enlarge the radio hole. After you have successfully installed the ring, the radio slides in and is held by snaps. However, if you want to remove it in the future, special tools are required.

Now, let us talk about speakers. Speaker installation is very critical for your car audio system. If the speakers are not installed properly, the sound will not be up to par. In simple system installation, you are most likely to use speakers which fit correctly into a factory location. Just make sure that there are no gaps or holes. One tip to get better sound is to build a wood or fibreglass baffle to reduce holes. But be careful when using power tools around speakers and the warranties usually do not cover holes in speakers. Do check with your car audio seller before any purchase. If your speaker cannot fit into the location, metal need to be cut. It is highly advisable for you to leave this to the professionals to save you some troubles.

Lastly, after you have successfully installed your car stereo, you need to make sure that it can put up with vibrations and other noise sources. There are excellent sound proofing products in the market that can help to decrease the noise tremendously.

car audio: power block gauge question?

i think posted in the wrong section before:

i want to hook up 2 amps to my car. i have subs right now and want to install a 4 channel amp for my interior speakers. i am running 4 awg(gauge) wires all around from battery to cap to amp. if i use a power block, do i have to shrink down the 2 power cables to a 8 awg(gauge) from the block to the amps? or can i just leave it all 4awg(gauage) or do i have to upgrade the battery wire to a 0 or 2 awg(gauge) from the battery to fuse block?

You don't have to shrink down your cables, and you're better off not to as the 8 ga wires may not be able to handle the current draw from your sub amp.

If the combined total amp draw (add up the fuses in your amps to figure it out) exceeds 120 A or so, you should upgrade to a 0 or 2 ga main power wire, otherwise you will be fine with the 4 ga.

Hope that helps.
