5 CAR AUDIO MYTHS

Updated: Mar 13, 2023

When you are in the market for a new car audio system, it is important to get all of the facts straight. There are a number of car audio myths out there that can push you towards making some bad decisions in your car stereo set-up. San Diego Car Stereo has heard and seen it all when it comes to car audio, and we outline some of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to car audio below with five car audio myths. If you are interested in learning more about car audio installation, contact San Diego Car Stereo today by calling (858) 434-5751.


1. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET GOOD AUDIO FROM CAR DOOR SPEAKERS

The small size of door speakers has led some to conclude that it is impossible to get high-quality sound from the pint-sized speakers nestled comfortably into your car doors. However, if you invest in premium speakers from one of the leading brands in car audio and have an expert flawlessly install the speakers, you can expect rich and loud sound.


2. AN AMPLIFIER DOESN’T REALLY ADD ANYTHING TO MY CAR STEREO

Just because you cannot actually hear audio coming from an amplifier does not mean it is not incredibly important to your car stereo system. An amplifier provides the power needed for your entire speaker system to work properly, and if you do not invest in a good amplifier it is impossible to get the sound quality you seek. An amplifier helps you crank up the volume without distorting the sound quality.


3. I ONLY NEED A SUBWOOFER IF I LISTEN TO RAP OR HEAVY METAL

When it comes to subwoofers, one of the most common myths is that the bass produced by a subwoofer is only helpful if you primarily listen to rap, heavy metal, or other high-impact genres at an ear-melting volume. This could not be farther from the truth. While you may be able to hear the boom of the bass more clearly when listening to hip hop or metal, a subwoofer adds depth and a different dimension to your music. A subwoofer is a must for any music fan, regardless of what type of music you listen to.


4. I CAN’T FIT A SUBWOOFER INTO MY CAR

Subwoofers can be quite large, and many people fear that their car has no room for a hulking sub. However, there are a number of amazing subwoofers that come in small and compact packages. On top of that, a car audio installation expert can build a custom subwoofer box to comfortably install a subwoofer into any car or truck.


5. 4-WAY SPEAKERS ARE WAY BETTER THAN 2-WAY SPEAKERS

In general, 4-way speakers offer better sound quality than 2-way speakers, but that is not always the case. Speakers are just one part of the larger car stereo system ecosystem, and 2-way speakers can give you amazing car audio when surrounded by a high-quality subwoofer, amplifier, and receiver.
