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.
