The factory installed audio systems in
modern cars are generally very good although for the real aficionados they can
always be improved upon, except in the most luxurious cars where it would be
hard to improve on the one fitted.
Some of these top of the range cars have
over two thousand watt systems with twenty speakers built in and the sound is
probably better than anything we lesser mortals could achieve at home given a
few thousand pounds to spend on attempting it.
There are stores up and down the country
like the London one of In Car Music that have a thriving business selling
everything to do with car entertainment. The busiest part of the business at
the moment is the selling of interface kits for iPod and iPhones as well as USB
ports, Bluetooth and rear seat LED displays.

Perhaps because the car can be an excellent
surround sound system it is not too surprising that some younger people can
become almost obsessed with trying to achieve the perfect sound.
The results can usually be heard before
they are seen by the rest of us. In some cases it seems that the whole of the
back half of the car is stuffed with car speakers big and small.
These are usually a mix of base, woofers
and tweeters with some huge amplifier sitting beneath the lot.
On the internet you can see photos of the
boots of cars where the different speakers are arranged and locked together to
create almost a new art form. Perhaps a
new word should be found for this audio sculpturing.
When so much is spent on the speakers you
can bet that a similarly large amount of cash has been spent on the head unit
and amplifier. What you will not easily see is the extra dampening that has
been used to line the whole of the inside of the car.
This is to create near perfect acoustics as
this is essential to compliment the increase in quality systems.
