Car Audio Competition

Though I do not claim to know much about car audio competition, I am quite impressed by my brother in law’s car. His previous car had an unbelievable sound system, but unfortunately had a chance meeting with another car and that didn’t end too well. His new Mazda 6 is becoming a high end car stereo.

Through days of tuning the system he can now reproduce audio frequencies from about 15Hz through 22,000Hz. The typical range of human hearing is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. When you go below 20Hz you are able to feel the sound, rather than hear it. Having the stereo reproduce above 20,000Hz gives greater harmonics and sound presence.

I won’t be able to attend the audio competition he is attending Saturday, but hopefully he comes home with a gigantic trophy.
