Building the Bass: Ways to Improve Your Car Speaker Performance

Whether you're a fan of road trips or just trying to make your morning commute more entertaining, car speaker performance is incredibly important. But that doesn't mean that you have to spend a lot of money on it. There are some tips and tricks that you can use to improve your car speaker performance without a big investment. 

Install Sound Deadening Materials

Sound deadening materials can be placed throughout your vehicle to limit extraneous sounds. If you often find that outside sounds -- such as traffic -- are interfering with your sound quality, this can be a fantastic solution. Sound deadening materials are available in a variety of quality options and can be installed in only part of your car, depending on your needs. They also don't require any special installation.

Buy or Build a Sub Box

A sub box is very simple to make. In fact, one can be made with plywood and carpeting alone. A sub box focuses the sub so that the impact of it is far greater; even purchased sub boxes tend to be fairly affordable. A sub box can also make your subwoofer more attractive.

Upgrade and Attach Your Cables

Loose cabling or poor quality cabling can undoubtedly affect the quality of sound throughout your car. If your car's technology is adequate, then you may need to check whether the cables are properly attached. If they are, you can consider upgrading them -- it will cost far less than trying to replace the technology as a whole.

Make Sure You're Playing the Right Files

Sometimes the error is not with your technology, but instead with your files. Different audio files are generally created to a specific quality. Smaller file sizes usually mean that the file itself isn't going to sound right when played -- it's been compressed too much to have a high enough fidelity. Look for high definition audio files and try your best to find files through reputable sources.
 

Of course, you need to start out with the right technology -- or the best of improvements aren't going to make a difference.
