click on the Car Audio tab above. Below the specific topics you'll see a link for Crutchfield's First Time Car Audio Buyer. It's a great starting point. After reading that you'll probably know more than the clerk at the store that sells the stuff. You'll definitely have more correct information. |

Oh yeah, then start reading the discussions under the topics that were above that link. Try 'amplifiers' and 'speakers' first. Don't get snowed. Old fashioned stereo was 2 channel and powered by a 2 channel amplifier. So gues what 3 or 4 channel is? Adding another channel usually a bass or subwoofer channel to make 3 or in the case of surround sound (4 speakers) making 5 channels. The passes high or low are generally referring to where the sound will crossover to the bass or tweeter. But note how in the Crutchfield piece they point out a lack of industry standards. |
