    car audio

    Talking about the performance of audio equipment without objective measurements is like describing the taste of food without eating it. Maybe that’s a bit over the top, but the concept is accurate. You’ll hear many folks into high-end audio describe listening experiences that are sweet or emotional.

    Different types of phones on a racetrack

    A while back, we examined the difference in sound quality between wired and wireless Apple CarPlay.

    Many professionals in the car audio industry started their careers as novices installing equipment for themselves or friends in their driveways and garages. That hands-on experience typically led to a job at a local shop and allowed them to learn more about electrical theory, acoustics, physics, and fabrication. Those who have invested time in understanding […]

    January 5, 2025 By BestCarAudio.com Leave a Comment

    Many types of subwoofers, speakers, and other car audio equipment in the back of a car
