  • Top Down Sound, Part 4: Equalizing the audio system in a convertible

    Jeff and I meet at the Crutchfield Research Bay for the final system tuneup. In the last installment , we set the crossover points and adjusted the gain structure in the Sebring's system.

  • Top Down Sound, Part 3: Tuning up the audio system in a convertible

    In Part 2 , we ripped my Sebring apart to install a high-performance audio system. Since then, I've been playing lots of music over my system in the last two weeks, and I spend a little time in my garage every night making adjustments. I've got the crossover points and gain controls set so that...

  • My Top 10 Car Audio Myths

    1) I don't need a subwoofer because I never listen to loud music, just classical and jazz. Subwoofers go great with heavy metal, rap, and other types of high-impact music, but they're not just for people who like to turn it up. In fact, a well-tuned subwoofer adds depth and richness to any type of music...

  • Car Stereos: RMS vs. Peak Power

    It's always made sense to use RMS power ratings, and not peak power ratings, when shopping for car stereos. That’s because the RMS rating is a more accurate measure of a receiver's "real-world" power, especially when compared to an outboard amplifier. Anyone who's added an amp to their car system can...

  • My perfect in-dash receiver

    Over the years I've had a lot of different car stereos. But each time I'm ready to get a new one, it's harder to choose. There are plenty of good models out there, and they all do a good job on the basics. Where it gets hard is finding a model that has the right combination of "extras" — things like...
