A Guide To Choosing The Right DC Audio Parts
The right DC Audio parts are a welcome addition to your entertainment system. If you need to improve the quality of your car speakers, adding a DC Audio subwoofer and amplifier enhances your audio output. Numerous DC Audio parts are available on eBay, and this guide will help you make the right purchasing decision.
What types of DC Audio parts are available?There are several DC Audio parts you can purchase, which can be categorized based on their function as well as specifications. These include:
- Subwoofers - Subwoofers specialize in producing low bass frequencies. DC Audio subwoofers are available at different levels depending on your power needs: Level 1 (rated at 300 continuous watts); Level 2 (rated at 600 W); Level 3 (900 W); Level 4 (1400 W); and Level 5 (3000 W). Higher levels mean your speaker can achieve a more powerful sound.
- Amplifiers - You may need to amplify the audio signal coming from your speaker or subwoofer to a suitable level. Amplifiers produce the wattage needed to drive your subwoofer or speaker. Your choice of amplifier specifications is directly affected by the power ratings of your subwoofers.
You may have subwoofers and need amplifiers to improve their sound quality. In order to match them, you will need to pay attention to their wattage ratings. If you have more than one subwoofer and need to connect them to an amplifier, ensure that all subwoofers have the same impedance rating (given in ohms) in order for the power to distribute evenly. If they have different ratings, get a separate amplifier for each subwoofer. On the other hand, you may have an amplifier and need to get subwoofers that match it. Make sure that the amplifier's power rating (given as Watts RMS at 4 ohms or 2 ohms) matches the cumulative impedance (the sum of the impedance of each subwoofer) it needs to drive.
How do you choose the right DC Audio subwoofer?You may want to improve the quality of the audio with a subwoofer. These are the important factors you need to pay attention to:
- Wattage - A high wattage does not denote a louder audio output, it is simply the limit of volume you can reach. You may choose a lower subwoofer wattage for a regular room and a higher one for subwoofers in a larger room.
- Size - The size of subwoofer can range from 8 to 18 inches depending on the quality of sound you desire as well as the setting. If you are looking for a speaker for your car, choose a size that fits its installation measurements.
