Is the original car audio the best? Please avoid these 4 terrible misconceptions.
Many car owners think the original car audio system is the best. They do not need to upgrade or modify their car audio but there are many flaws in this idea.
There are 4 main misunderstandings:
Misunderstanding 1: The original car audio system is more professional
Car manufacturers take cost control under the huge pressure of market competition for a very long time. Audio systems are not the main role in car manufacturers’ minds which is an open secret in the car industry, and that’s why professional car audio manufacturers are a need in the market.
A general audio system should include a head unit, an amplifier, and a speaker, but many car manufacturers do not provide an amplifier. It means the head unit provides power to the speaker directly. It is a big concern as the head unit does not exceed 20W usually and affects the quality of music.
Many original car speakers were equipped with component speakers but lack a frequency divider which is used to classify the different sound frequencies. Different sound frequencies are expressed by different speaker units, such as high frequency is expressed by the tweeter unit, the intermediate frequency is expressed by the mid-range speaker unit, and the low frequency is expressed by the woofer unit.
Mixed sound frequency reduces the quality of sound. That’s why most of the original car audio gave out a blurred sound.
In addition, tweeters are often absent in the original car audio system. Even though high-end car brands such as BMW.
Misunderstanding 2: The original car audio products are more quality assurance
Many people have the psychological effect of the “original complex”. They think the quality of the original car audio system should be the best but it is not the case. The defective collocation and the quality of the original car speaker are poor. The speaker watts and sensitivity are both relatively low.
On the other hand, the raw material quality of important parts such as shock basins and voice coils is not good enough. The effective watts of the original car speaker generally do not exceed 15W, but many car manufacturers say 50W (About this tricky saying, please refer to “Secrets of Speakers (Series 1)“)
The size and material of the speaker magic steel are also evidence of the low quality. In short, car manufacturers do not care about the quality of the car audio system to reduce the cost. How could the original car audio systems have excellent sound performance?
Misunderstanding 3: The car audio system of a high-end car must also be high-end
The car audio system of a high-end car should be high-end too. It seems very reasonable and in line with the laws of the market economy, but it is just wishful thinking.
Based on the above two points, high-end cars also cannot avoid the problem of incomplete audio devices. We just need to know the qualified car audio configuration and create a car audio system that truly meets your requirements.
Misunderstanding 4: car audio modification will cause safety hazards
Many car owners like high-quality music, but they worry that sound modification will cause safety hazards. Which is reasonable and safety is always the most important thing.
Professional car audio modifications are redesigned independent cables with strict protection measures, which will not change or affect the original car cable system. In addition, the cable of the audio system will use high-quality products that are better than the original one. So professional car audio modification will not bring any safety hazards.
Combined with the above 4 misunderstandings, you should understand that “the original car audio system is the best” is a beautiful mistake. The modified car audio system will be more suitable for your needs and it will be the best car audio system in the world.
