Equip yourself with a car radio
Today your music is stored most of the time on your smartphone. Streaming, digital album, it is now possible to listen to it directly from the car radio. How? ‘Or’ What? Thanks to several solutions:
A Bluetooth car radio:
As at home, this type of car radio allows you to wirelessly stream the music of your smartphone. Practical, they also allow you to take your calls as a hands-free kit.
A car radio with an Auxiliary or USB port:
It is compatible with more devices these car radios allow you to connect a walkman with a cable jack or a USB port and to diffuse your music.
Install an audio kit in your car
As with the sound of your hi-fi system or your TV with a home theater, the audio installation in your car is composed of several elements. Together, they bring you a sound reproduction at the top for your travels. For your car audio kit, you need:
A car amplifier:
It is placed in your trunk and connected to your car stereo, it amplifies the sound signal. This gives you better sound clarity, more precise specialization, and greater power at high volume. The amplifiers operate in channels. For example, a 5-channel amplifier can support 4 speakers (front or rear) and a subwoofer.
Car speakers: some speakers directly integrate the different speakers needed to broadcast music for a minimum footprint. Other models, called “separate channel kit” opt for a function specific to each speaker to obtain a more accurate sound quality and better specialization. The choice of the number of speakers to install will depend on your current configuration and your desires. If you often travel to 2, opt for a 2-speaker front installation. If you carry passengers in the rear, the installation of two additional rear speakers is essential for them to also enjoy the best audio quality. Before you start, take care of the diameter of the speakers so that they fit into your cabin.
A subwoofer:
It is also placed in the trunk or under one of the seats, it gives more depth to your music, developing the entire range of bass.
A tailor-made playlist for the trip
Now that your car is fully equipped in audio system, what about the music selection? Today, the main streaming music services offer themed playlists on the trip: road trip, song to sing on the road, trip to several. There is something for everyone. Our advice: prepare a selection before your departure by downloading via Wi-Fi your music to avoid consuming your mobile plan.
