Speakers Guarantee is there any?

These days speakers come in a lot of shapes and sizes, but the one thing that gets my attention and makes me hesitant of buying any speakers may it be car or home is the Speakers Guarantee that are given to you.I mean that a lot of the manufacturers  don’t even give you a guarantee on speakers anymore.If you were to buy a sub-woofer and the speaker gets damaged in just a week by means of a manufacturer fault you don’t even get a repair on the speaker. The shop salesman just tells you no guarantee that would be if you were to have the guts to go back for a return.

I mean come on if it breaks in a week i would fight for a new sub-woofer, but on the other hand most people take chances and when they by chance blow a sub or speaker they try and say its a manufacturer fault.And that’s what i think a lot of people do and that’s why i think these policies came into play. You would never actually know if the speaker was damaged due to you or manufacturer at that moment.You still could have done that back in 2000 but now a days you wont even get a second look if you bring in a blown sub. Guarantee’s on speakers have gone well down the past years meaning that no returns are taken in. This may be just what i experienced, but whenever i go and buy speakers the guy at the till always tell me remember no guarantee on speakers.So that’s how i accept it that you don’t get Speakers Guarantee on speakers anymore.

You get a lot of high power car audio system in cars these days, you would have never seen this in the old days maybe because they were not available that time and maybe, because you would get police coming to your door every second or people maybe thought “hey that would not benefit me” , well car audio don’t benefit you accept if you are into competitions. So the fact of the matter is that car audio is becoming very popular and if you don’t have a high power audio system in your car I would recommend getting one because it makes the sound so much more enjoyable, although if you are not that into high power sound systems I would recommend just upgrading your standard sound system to something a bit more powerful (you won’t regret it)

Well I want to come back to sound competitions, these competitions are popular over the world but are most popular in the U.S. because of the high and wide range of availability of products over there I’m not saying that it’s not available anywhere else (obviously) it’s just that prices are quite lower in the US than in the rest of the world. Anyway these competitions exist out of people competing with each other with their car sound systems and these are definitely not ordinary systems they are very high powered I’m talking about in the tens of thousands of watts RMS and there are some that reach high over 150 decibels that is louder than a Boing taking off! Some of these cars or even trucks consist of maybe close to 20 subwoofers … Definitely not going to climb in that car, 20 would maybe fit in kombi but not a car. So what happens is that when these car sound system are played at full load you won’t be able to sit in the car or truck I mean you can but you will be sorry you ever did that, because the sound pressure would be so high that it will and I mean WILL burst your eardrums so I would not recommend getting into one of these sound cars while its playing at full load

There are prizes to be won for the car with the loudest system, sometimes it can be something like an amplifier or a sub while it can also be money though it would not be much, Main reason for these gatherings are for people just to show off their sound and sometimes also their car, truck kombi or whatever it might be, and also just to enjoy the day with family and friends.

 

 

 

Can you use Home Amplifier in a Car?

Well in fact you can it is quite simple really all you have to do is get yourself a inverter those that they ussually use in caravans and also you have to make sure that the wattage of the inverter is high enough to handle the amplifier that you are going to use in the car i have used a ,

i think it was 500 watt inverter but it could not handle the amp because everytime i put it about 3/4 of the volume and it hit that hard bass it would cut out so just make sure the wattage is high enough . It works out cheaper than if you were to buy a car amp and if you have like a spare old amplifier laying around… or new one.

The inverter you could buy at any of the automotive shops that sell accessories for cars.If you want to do something like this just becarefull because that is 220v or 110v running on that inverter ,you could get a nasty shock . I would also only suggest this to people who know how to work with high voltage power and know how the wiring of a car and inverter works and so on.
