Sounds All Around

Listening to mono music when used to stereo is a bit like going back to black and white TV. But most people have moved further on from stereo and expect to hear surround sound with cinema effect.

The car is an ideal place to experience surround sound but most cars are not factory fitted to be able to experience this pleasure. Very expensive motors today do have some exceptional sound quality but that should not be too surprising considering how much these cars cost.

In the quarter of a million pounds and more bracket of one famous manufacturer the 2200 watt system with strategically placed speakers numbering 29 produces a quality that surely makes the end of a road journey an anti-climax.

The good news is for an exciting in car sound system to vastly improve the one in your more modestly priced saloon car will not cost too much.

Not too much for one person may be a lot for another but if you decide to upgrade the sounds in your car you should start with a budget in mind. With this figure you should look through the enormous choice of equipment from head units to speakers, amplifiers to screens and all the technical stuff that goes with it all.

The minimum most people expect these days is to be able to plug in any sort of smartphone to listen to their own choice of music. From that point the only limit to the improvements you make will be your budget.

The temptation is to turn your car into a mobile theatre with screens in the back keeping the kids amused and a touch screen in the front to guide you on your journey.

Most factory fitted head units will have an amplifier fitted inside but if you are looking to increase sound quality and volume by fitting replacement or perhaps extra speakers then you will need to look at the assorted amplifiers.

The best car sound systems are those with the perfect marriage between speakers, amps and head unit but if you are in any way uncertain just ask the experts.

No Wires Just Bluetooth

With Bluetooth car kits there are unlimited possibilities to turn your car into a rock hall or opera theatre.

Bluetooth is that wonderful technological leap into a world with fewer wires. It seems to have evolved in Denmark where the name Bluetooth comes from an important historical figure in that Country.

It was the King Harold Bluetooth that brought all the tribes together to create a unified Denmark in the tenth century.

For your entire car sound system upgrades and security products In Car Music should be your first port of call. Here is everything you need to spend weekends changing the factory fitted feeble CD player into a multi-media theatre.

Forty years ago I used to run a business scrapping big old mainframe computers. If two trucks were filled with all the obvious hardware a third truck was needed just for the miles of under floor wiring. Wires have always been a pain in the office when under floor was not possible and wireless or Bluetooth has to be one of the great technological advances of the last fifteen years.

Take a look on this site at something like the Alpine CDE-133BT MP3 Bluetooth iPod and check out the impressive list of features and also note the price of under £200. Now if you are old enough you will remember that with just a tiny fraction of that capability the first car CD players cost about five times that amount.

It is striking that for little money a great deal can be achieved with in-car entertainment. Seven inch touch screens and satellite navigation takes much of the stress out of driving and in-car entertainment for rear seated passengers can keep children amused all the way to the end of a long journey without a single comment along the lines of are we there yet?

New, modern and very expensive cars have sound systems and interface kits fitted as standard but the majority of us car drivers cannot afford to splash out £100,000 on a car. So if yours is a standard saloon or hatchback take a look at spending modestly to improve the sounds.
