When
we hear the phrase car audio, we automatically assume that a person
is taking about the sound system in their car or vehicle. The most
common piece of audio equipment used in cars in the radio/CD player
which in generic terms is known as the head unit. This is the item
that is most commonly upgraded and as technology changes and moves
forward this is the part of the cars sound system that also changes.
Up
to a number of years ago most car audio systems were fitted with a
cassette player but this then became a CD player. With technology
ever expanding CD players now also have the capability of playing
MP3, WMA, AAC, and there are even car stereos that are now going to
be equipped with USB slots.
The
majority of cars have a CD player and there are others that also
include the option for a CD changer which can hold multiple disks.
These CD changers can be housed in the car stereos head unit itself
or stored in a separate unit which is normally stored in the trunk.
Some car stereos now even support DVD players and LCD screens which
have been designed to entertain children on long journeys.
Speakers
are also an integral part of the audio system in Cars and these are
generally located in the doors at the front of the Car and over the
trunk in the back of the car. There are a wide range of speakers
available on the markets today and just like the head units,
technological advances also impact on these.
Another
component of the audio system can also include amplifiers and these
are vital if you wish to have a number of speakers in your car.
As
you can see the audio system in your car does not just consist of the
small unit that takes your CDs or plays the radio, and these systems
do in fact have a lot more components to them.
