The Stooges and the Family Stone

I’m really big into music. I recently discovered a band that I always shunned – The Stooges. They rock. Hard. I always thought they were more in the punk scene, but little did I know that they actually invented the punk scene with their first albums in the late 60’s.

Anyway, when I put them on my mobile audio, it makes me happy that I have large car audio amplifiers, because I really get my money's worth with the electric guitar solos and drumming bass lines. Some music just has to be listened to really, really loudly.

I’ve also been bumping a lot of Sly and the Family Stone lately. Those guys were the progenitors of rhythm and blues. While James Brown had soul covered, these dudes from San Francisco were taking psychedelic rock and fusing it with soul to bring music into uncharted waters.

For them, I have to turn up the bass. My car audio amplifiers help here, but I couldn’t do it without my car audio woofer. That baby really makes the beat bump.

It doesn’t matter what kind of music you listen to. Sometimes you just want to rock out a little bit. Or a lot. That’s when it helps to have some great car audio.

The History of Car Audio

Car audio is one of those modern conveniences that we often take for granted. Hopping in the car and listening to some tunes is relaxing and fun. But it wasn’t always that way.

It all started back in the 1930’s when the Galvin brothers invented the first commercial car radio. It sold for about $110 which is the equivalent today, to about $1700.

In the 50’s, the seek button was invented using a Town and Country mode. While in town, you could seek for the strongest signals only, and in the country, the sensitivity of the radio allowed you to pick up more distant signals.

The 60’s and 70’s saw the introduction of record players into cars due to higher power voltages. Unfortunately, this players were large and never gained mass popularity. In 1964 Philips invented the cassette tape and the 8 track followed.

In the 80’s home speakers were used in cars, but were ill suited to the extreme temperatures and vibrations of the road. The focus switched to volume and sound quality, with importance placed on the car audio subwoofer, car audio amplifiers, and the car audio speaker.

Today, car audio continues to improve in terms of power and quality. If you want to see what I mean, visit www.PyleAudio.com.

The Importance of Car Audio

Mobile audio is defined by car audio amplifiers, a car audio speaker that can move a full glass of water, and a car audio subwoofer that you can hear for a half mile radius when turned up all the way. Car audio is a modern phenomenon that allows music to become the focus of your driving experience.

And why shouldn’t it be? There’s nothing sweeter than to be cruising to a friend’s house or a party with your favorite tunes pumping in the summertime sun. You sing along and pat the beat on your steering wheel with the palms of your hands. The sun shines and you’ve got your windows down to let the breeze blow in, and pedestrians look at you and some show dismay at how loud your car audio is and some show enthusiasm that you’re enjoying yourself so much, and they wish secretly that they were with you, in the car, head nodding along to your favorite song, and the light changes, and you zoom off and the music dopplers away, and they’re left standing there, walking, without any car audio.

It’s so much better to have mobile audio that allows you to look forward to driving, rather than sitting in your car with a weak stereo that you can’t even crank, or even worse, driving in silence.

Balance Is Crucial To Car Audio

Mobile audio is important. You have probably experienced a car audio speaker that has blown out. The result is ghastly. How can anyone deal with that for any longer, you probably asked yourself, and rightly so.

Of course speakers are important, but that’s not it. Car audio amplifiers are also especially necessary to having top of the line mobile audio. Amps make the sound louder, literally. They modify the tone by emphasizing or de-emphasizing specific frequencies. This makes your speakers able to produce louder tunes, and then it comes down to how capable your speakers are.

A car audio woofer is important too. Bass can lend a lot to many kinds of music and fill out the sound of whatever it is you’re listening to. If you have crazy amps and speakers, but lack a car audio woofer, your sound will be hollow and empty. In other words, you’ll be missing out on your fullest car audio capabilities.
So don’t go all out when it comes to just speakers or amps or a car audio woofer, it’s important to have car audio that’s balanced. If you really want to invest in one of the three aspects, think about the speakers, they allow you to enjoy the quality of your music to the fullest.
