Tips on buying car sound system

This is my suggestions that I learnt from various sources and experience. Before you buy new car sound system, make sure you have done enough research. Let me repeat enough research. This include what sorth of sound you prefer whether it is sound quality (SQ) or sound pressure level (SPL).

If you are crazy about bass and does not care about clarity of the music, then SPL is the best choice. You definetely need to focus on the subs (the bigger the better). That means you need high power amplifier for your subs. Try not to use maximum ability of your amps because it produce too much heat and does not last long. Use strong amps which doesnot use its full capacity so that it stay cools at longer operation.

If you prefer the clarity of the music from every detail, then SQ is for you. SQ is more expensive because you need more higher end headsets, components, SQ subs, separate amps and good quality cables. Again make sure you do enough research and when you have decided, make sure you buy complete set, not one at a time because it wont give you the real potential of each component.

Good sound system will impressed others if you do it right with the right amount of budget

Nissan GTR Spec V

Is it worth waiting for the spec V version of GTR? Spec V has more power and lighter than standard GTR. Only 2 seater and with predicted cost of 12 million yen ( extra B$50k). Only 30 units per month.

How turbo and supercharge works?

First of all, I read somewhere and they said it is impossible to make your car faster by simply installing a new chip. Well it can make it slightly faster but you wont be able to notice it. In order to make it faster, you need the engine to produce more POWER.

In order to burn more fuel, the engine needs more air (oxygen). No point putting in more fuel if the ratio is not right because not all of the fuel injected into the piston will be burnt. This result of wasting petrol and may damage your catalytic converter.

Simply taking air from inside is not enough because hot air does not contain enough oxygen.

There are three ways to increase air supply into your engine:

1. Turbo charge -common in Japanese cars (there is lag because it needs energy from the engine to work)

2. Super charge-common in American cars and useful for drag because there is no lag.

3. Nitro- temporary only

Another method to make your car faster is engine tunning. This means replacing the engine parts, making air easier to flow. However this is only for racing purposes because it makes your engine sound very loud...
