Cars have always been a natural target for thieves, as they can be smoothly sold at a good price. Today, car thefts are rising at an alarming rate, and it is said that a car is stolen every 20 seconds. In order to curtail the rising trend in car thefts, alarm companies are making highly improved and new alarm systems for cars. They are proving to be very handy and effective and are recommended by most car dealers.
Remote start car alarms (remote car starters) are the latest improvement and have amazing high tech features. These systems are outfitted with the latest technology of antiscan and antigrab. The multiple programmable features of the remote start car alarms, makes them very practical for car users. These alarms are also operational in cold weather. The exclusively designed remote is set with a LCD display that provides the user with a car/alarm status.
The remote start works in all automatic, manual and diesel cars. The anti-carjacking feature makes this alarm system highly reliable. These alarms provide maximum security to a car because of the built in vibrating sensors that are fitted in the door, boot, and bonnet. They also have a silent arm, disarm and alert feature. They provide, additional optional features like total closure and remote boot release, and come with smart LED indicators, backlights and automatically activated interior lighting. The remotes are very user friendly, as they have an inbuilt query function, real-time clock and an alarm clock.
Car Audio & Video Components:
Car audio and video components have been increasing in cars recently due to the vast technology in car electronics to provide a high level of comfort and luxury. Every car (especially new) is equipped with 6 speakers and a head unit with CD/DVD player and GPS navigation system. Some car fans even upgrade their sound system with after the market subwoofer and amplifier for better sound quality. I.ll explain the main components of any car audio system below:
- Car speakers: Car speakers actually reproduce the sound from electrical energy. Basically, there are two types of speaker "systems" that exist.
1. "Coaxial", "three way", "full-range", etc. These speaker systems are designed to fit into the factory speaker located in your vehicle. They are often called a "speaker", but have more than one speaker, and will also contain a crossover.
2. "Components", "Seperates" These speaker systems basically take everything from the above speaker system, and break it up into parts.
- Car subwoofers: Car Subwoofers are loudspeakers made to generate the lowest frequencies, or bass end of the audible sound range. Car Subwoofers range from 4 inches in diameter all the way up to 36" meant for highly specialized scientific purposes. Subwoofer cones must move in and out with the longest possible extension because sound waves get longer as they get lower in frequency.
- Car navigation systems: Car navigation systems is an inexpensive upgrade to any vehicle. Aftermarket navigation systems use the newest technology and mapping software to get you from point .A. to point .B. without error. GPS navigation systems come with different types including Portable GPS and In Dash Navigation systems which usually include a Touch-Screen Monitor.
- Car amplifiers: Car amplifiers are devices that take a small audio signal from a pre-amp, some power from your battery, and pass it on as a big audio signal to drive speakers. Audio amplifier power is measured in watts. The higher the watts, the more power the amplifier has. How much power you need depends on what you want out of your system. Car Amplifiers comes with different types such as Class D Amplifiers and Multi-channel Amplifiers. Other car audio and video resources: Marine Audio.
More Car Audio Info
Alright! You want to go on a drive and want to listen to some wonderful quality music. Don't carry your home audio along. Simply install a good car audio system and you can enjoy wonderful music in the comfortable seat of your automobile.
Did you know car audio came in the 1930s from the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in the form of the Motorola model 5T71? Motorola -- "motor" for motion and "ola" for sound!
I'll throw some light on car audio history. At first, the audio systems from the home and professional markets were simply installed in vehicles.
However, they were not well suited to the variable temperature and shocks of an automobile. Today, advances in acoustic technology mean that even a tiny speaker can produce loud enough sound for your pleasure.
So now that I have you interested, let's see companies that manufacture these sets. Fierce competition exists in the market. In fact car audio competitions started in the early 1980s in a quest to find the loudest and/or most outrageous installations. But I prefer the focus on sound quality. There are some major players few of which are:
%u2022 Kenwood Car Audio
%u2022 Subwoofer Box
Car audio systems can cost anywhere from $100 to an upper limit%u2026well how much cash do you have to spare? A good system though should cost anywhere between $400-$1000. You can of course decide as per your budget.
You can either install your customized car audio or settle for pre-installed company sets. I would go for custom being a music lover! What with all those car subwoofers, car amps, car tweeters and more. I can get loud and clear sound! So go ahead enjoy your drive!
