Upgrading your stereo and flat screen equipment is never the end of the road for anyone who owns a car, but a journey that lasts forever. The trick isn't always investing more money, but knowing where to invest and what to upgrade to make the most of your car's music system. Here at Top Electronics (HK) Ltd, a specialist car audio manufacturer and supplier, we show you some of the ways to improve the quality of your car's audio, both externally and internally.

 

Finding alternatives

 

You can actually invest in upgrading and getting the latest and greatest gadgets such as audio host receivers, subwoofers and carplay speakers. Generally speaking, the output and performance of stock speakers are usually not as good as aftermarket carplay speakers that are customized to the culture and climate of the vehicle you drive.

Linux CarPlay and Android Auto 9" car multimedia provides clear vocal and instrument reproduction and more powerful bass. If you're on a budget, you can also add an additional subwoofer for deeper bass. It will cost you more in the end, but it will greatly enhance your music listening experience.

 

External upgrades

 

People often connect their cell phones to their car stereos via an auxiliary cable and rely on the phone's less powerful digital-to-analog converter; not surprisingly, this can lead to degraded voice quality. For this reason, it's best to find a host that supports USB connectivity and has a high-quality built-in DAC. These types of audio hosts can read digital data from your device and easily perform the difficult task of accurately converting the data into an audio signal, which is then sent to speakers and amplifiers.

You can opt for the wireless CarPlay Box Ai Box for Factory Screen, which upgrades your factory screen to smart Android 9.0, USB and Type-C plug-and-play, and you can install any of your favorite apps from the Google Play Store.

 

 

Amplifiers, signal processors

 

Factory car audio systems are very simple, and even when they get the job done, they lack the nuances that would please a seasoned music lover. Therefore, if you belong to the elite class of music listeners, your car audio system needs more components. Adding amplifiers, signal processors, and band equalizers can be a bit pricey, but these components do have the potential to take your car audio from ordinary to amazing!

 

Use high-quality music files

 

For the best in-car audio experience, the source of your audio files is just as important as the components of your car audio system. The problem with digital music files is that they are often over-compressed, which results in a loss of audio clarity.

The best approach in this regard is to switch to lower levels of compression or audio files encoded in lossless formats - also known as high-resolution or high-definition audio. Formats such as MP3 and AAC offer traditional sound quality, while other formats such as ALAC, WAV and FLAC offer high-resolution, better sound quality.

As we said at the beginning, enhancing your car audio is not a destination, but a journey. You can take your time to upgrade according to your needs and budget. Drop us a line today to get the quality gear you want!
