  • Top Down Sound, Part 2: Installing an audio system in a convertible

    The big day has arrived. In the first installment , we planned out the system for my convertible. Now we'll take a long look at the installation process.

  • Re: Bass Boost Problems

I have only seen a few models that offer a bass boost on the actual amplifier, and on those models when you plugged in the bass knob the control on the amplifier didn't work. Also, double check and make sure this isn't the gain control which is on...

  • Tech Terms Demystified: Relating Gain to Level and Volume

    Gain, Level, Volume...aren't they the same thing? Everybody knows a volume control makes your music louder (or quieter), so why do there seem to be so many different ways to describe it? If you're used to dubbing, or if making mixtape cassettes was your thing, you may remember "level" has something to...

    Adding a 4-channel amp to your car stereo system — two channels to run the front speakers and two channels to run the rear speakers — not only raises the sound level, but also greatly increases the sound quality of your music. This is how I'd tune it up: Before turning on your system, make sure your...

  • Re: Over powering VS. Under powering

    Amplifiers have gain controls because preamp output voltages are not always the same between head units. Using the gain to make up for the lack in voltage that your premamps provide (to make this answer short) allows you specify what 'volume', if you will, and wattage output the amplifier sends to the...
