SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE-WHEN SMALLER IS BETTER

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:29:34 -0400

SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE-WHEN SMALLER IS BETTER To have a really good auto audio system, it is not important to have a huge, larger than life set up. It's more important to have a subwoofer enclosure that is sized appropriately for the car, truck, van or SUV into which you are installing the system. The ideal mobile audio system is not necessarily the loudest or the most expensive, just as a complete mobile audio system is not simply a stereo and a set of speakers. By incorporating additional components, your daily drive time can become the favorite part of your day. A properly customized and designed mobile audio system will add richness and depth to your favorite music and enhance your listening experience. Once the choice of the ideal audio system is made, your next decision is to examine the size of your subwoofer enclosure. Some people think that having an awesome mobile audio system means having huge, bulky boxes of equipment that replace the back seat. However, the opposite of that is true. To have a really good auto audio system, it is not important to have a huge, larger than life set up. **End Summary** Topics: subwoofer box]]> subwoofer enclosure]]> subwoofer enclosures]]> subwoofer boxes]]> dual subwoofer enclosure]]> speaker box]]> sub woofer box]]> custom subwoofer enc]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner and president of SuperCrewSound Inc. and has been specializing in Custom Subwoofer Boxes since 2004.

Knowing Your Car Audio Equipment

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:46:02 -0400

If you are a music lover, when you pop in a CD or fire up your MP3 player in your car, your dream is to be able to feel like you are sitting right in front of the artist playing the music that you love. So whether you like the elegant massaging of piano keys or the powerful guitar riffs, accurate reproduction is the key to making that dream come true. If you canâ€™t sense the pretty sounds of the saxophone in your stomach or feel that intense beat of the electric drum in your chest, then you must invest in your audio system to put you back in the front row. By incorporating car audio equipment components such as subwoofers and amplifiers to your mobile audio system, the time you spend on the road can become your favorite part of the day. The properly customized selection of car audio equipment will add quality, volume, and depth to your music and greatly enhance your listening and driving experience.

Selecting the Correct Size for Your Subwoofer Box

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:19:50 -0400

When it comes to your vehicle's sub woofer box, bigger is not always better. But you do not want one that is too small either. What do you do? Why is proper sizing of the sub woofer box important? The main reason is because proper sizing allows for proper placement in your vehicle. Proper placement means that you and your passengers will all enjoy the same high quality sound from your stereo whether sitting in the front, back or on the left or right. You can buy a pre-fab sub woofer box, or have one custom made. The cost to have a sub woofer box custom made is not as much as you might think. If you have made a solid investment in stereo equipment for your car or truck, the cost of a custom sub woofer box is well worth it. Otherwise, the money you have invested in stereo equipment might as well be tossed around in your car - like the sound from an improperly sized subwoofer box will distribute sound. Buying a pre-made sub woofer box is fine, too, as long as you get the right size for your vehicle. **End Summary** Topics: subwoofer box]]> subwoofer enclosure]]> subwoofer enclosures]]> subwoofer boxes]]> dual subwoofer enclosure]]> speaker box]]> sub woofer box]]> custom subwoofer enc]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner and president of SuperCrewSound Inc. and has been specializing in Custom Subwoofer Boxes since 2004.

What Are Subwoofer Boxes For?

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:48:10 -0400

You just spent several hundred dollars vamping up the sound system for your vehicle. However, when someone mentioned that you should buy subwoofer enclosures, you knew that you had just what you needed and that it wouldnâ€™t cost another dime. Glad you saved the box, you set your speakers into the speaker boxes they came in and carefully close the lid. While most people would never dream of doing this, many do decide to scrimp on speaker boxes, figuring they can build their own. While it's certainly possible, most people don't have the tools, materials and know-how to make speaker boxes that will serve their purpose without yelling "homemade." Here are some things to consider about custom, professional speaker boxes. You can have the most awesome sound system in the world, but kill the effects by muffling. Speaker boxes should be a way to protect your equipment, but should never interfere with the flow of sound. Many speaker boxes do just that. While sound will travel around wood, carpeting and other coverings, the best quality sound has nothing interrupting the natural flow. **End Summary** Topics: ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner and president of SuperCrewSound Inc. and has been specializing in Custom Subwoofer Boxes since 2004.

Subwoofer Enclosures

When it comes to loud pounding bass the big secret is that the quality of your speaker box is more important than the quality of your sub woofers. With your vehicle's sub woofer box, bigger is not always better. However, you do not want your subwoofer box to be too small either. Why is proper sizing of the sub woofer box so important? Because proper sizing allows for proper placement in your vehicle, proper placement means that you and your passengers will all enjoy the same high quality sound from your stereo whether sitting in the front, back or on the left or right. Subwoofer enclosures allow you to upgrade your car stereo system without detracting from the appearance of your car or truck. Many people have great ideas about upgrading or even building a custom stereo system, but think they'll have to sacrifice looks to get the sound. You can buy a pre-made sub woofer box or have one custom made. The cost to have a sub woofer box custom made is not as much as you might think. **End Summary** Topics: subwoofer box]]> subwoofer enclosure]]> subwoofer enclosures]]> subwoofer boxes]]> dual subwoofer enclosure]]> speaker box]]> sub woofer box]]> custom subwoofer enc]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner and president of SuperCrewSound Inc. and has been specializing in Custom Subwoofer Boxes since 2004.

Bass up your BMW with a Fiberglass Speaker Box

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Letâ€'s face it; if youâ€'re driving a BMW 3 series, BMW 7 series, or any kind of BMW at all, then youâ€'re driving one of the finest automobiles on the market. The ride is smooth, the acceleration quick, and overall itâ€'s a comfortable top of the line car. Even the stock sound system that comes with a BWM is pretty nice. Unfortunately, the system does not come with one of the most vital parts of good sound, which is a sub woofer. Sub woofers are meant to give depth and complete the spectrum of sound in a stereo. The BMW product line has a wide variety of sub woofers, car amplifiers, and custom speaker boxes to choose from for your car. Custom speaker boxes are specifically designed to fit your model of BMW. Therefore, youâ€'ll be able to install your car amplifier and sub woofer without taking up too much space, and without tearing up your interior. Instead, custom speaker boxes will blend with the interior of your BMW so that it looks like part of the original car. **End Summary** Topics: BMW subwoofer enclosures]]> custom speaker boxes]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner of SuperCrewSound.com, one of the leading online retailers of fiberglass BMW subwoofer enclosures and other car audio components.

Make your Mazda Sing with Enclosed Subwoofers

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Whether youâ€'re a fan of rock music, rap, country, blues, or even classical, the stereo system in your Mazda is a vital part of your listening experience. By owning a Mazda3, Mazda5 or even Mazda RX-8 you get the benefit of having a decent stock system built into the car. However, only by adding a subwoofer will you truly receive the best sound possible in your Mazda. Even the Bose stock system that comes with the MX-5 Miata lacks the low end that many be desired when it comes to the listening experience. A subwoofer will give depth and complete sound to the system, thus allowing you to hear things that you wouldnâ€'t have before. There are many top of the line subwoofers and amplifiers to choose from that will give you the bass you need in your car stereo system.

Sub Box for your Scion

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Coming onto the scene in 2003, the Scion is a new breed in automobile put out by the Toyota Motor Corporation. The main goal of the company is to appeal to those of Generation Y, but you donâ€'t have to be a youngster to enjoy the benefits of the vehicle. Scion has put out three different models including the Scion XB, Scion TC, and Scion XD. Whichever model appeals to you, audio manufacturers have the perfect addition to your new car. Sub enclosures will give you the low end sound you need while driving your Scion. Though the Scion is a great car overall, the stereo speakers might be lacking. The stereo speakers in the Scion are simply meant to be an overall good system, not a deep rich one. They will not put out a deep low end, or even a nice clear high end, but will get the job done if you want middle of the line sound. Thatâ€'s why a sub woofer and sub box for your Scion will get you the best sound possible for your listening enjoyment in the car. **End Summary** Topics: sub enclosures]]> sub boxes for Scion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner of SuperCrewSound.com, one of the leading online retailers of sub enclosures and sub boxes for Scion vehicles.

The fact is that whether you are driving a Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda Element, Honda S2000, or any type of Honda for that matter, youâ€'re going to be driving it for a while. Hondaâ€'s engines are known to last forever, and if you take care of your Honda well then it might even last longer than you. Since youâ€'ll be driving that Honda Accord or Honda Civic of yours for a while, you might as well invest a little into the interior of the car. Regrettably, the sound systems in Hondaâ€'s do not quite match up to the quality of the engine. Sure, the system will last long, but it wonâ€'t give you the bass that you want for listening to your favorite tunes while rolling down the road. Car subwoofers are a great addition to any type of Honda, and the perfect solution to getting great bass.

Deck out your Dodge with Custom Subwoofer Enclosures

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Big booming sound unfortunately does not quite describe the stock stereo system on a Dodge Ram, Dodge Dakota, or Dodge SUV. Although the sound system might be a decent one, or even good when splurging for the premium stock system, the manufacturer leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to big and booming sound. Buying a good amplifier and sub woofer for your new truck can give you the big bass sound that you want when rolling down the road. When picking up a sub woofer and amp itâ€'s also important to purchase a high quality subwoofer box to hold them. Custom subwoofer enclosures will greatly improve the performance of the sub woofer by preventing the out of phase sound waves from the rear combining with the in phase sound waves from the front. Therefore, youâ€'ll be getting a nice clean big bass sound while still being able to hear quality high and middle notes. Whether youâ€'re listening to hip hop, rock, R & B, blues, country, or classical music, a top of the line sub woofer, amplifier, and truck subwoofer box will greatly increase the listening experience in your Dodge Ram, Dodge Dakota, or Dodge SUV. **End Summary** Topics: Dodge subwoofer boxes]]> custom subwoofer enclosures]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mark Markham is the owner of SuperCrewSound.com, one of the leading online retailers of Dodge subwoofer boxes and other car audio components.

That new truck smell is a pleasing scent that goes along well with the comfortable seats and the feel of a nice big truck. You hear the purr of the engine and turn up some of your favorite tunes in the premium stock system that came with your new kicking Chevy. However, there is something slightly off, something missing.

Thereâ€'s nothing quite like having the perfect sound system to go with your Ford F-250 or Ford Expedition. Having the right tunes to ride with is only half the battle.
