Many of the audio stream of interest by lovers of modification, among others, SQ (Sound Quality), SQL (Sound Quality Loud), SPL (Sound Pressure Level), and ICE (In Car Entertainment). As the price of the car TV player and multimedia device that increasingly cheap, seems to flow back ICE epidemic. Certainly with a complete multimedia service, in-vehicle SO’mers can watch television shows, movies through DVD facilities, or hear a song collection of past-source downloud MP3, iPod or mobile phone.

However, the ICE system is the actual implementation of advanced technology on a standard audio system, which consists of three main parts. The standard audio system in a series of ICE is a head unit, monitor, processor, amplifier, a number of speakers and some other auxiliary audio devices, such as a subwoofer and capacitor banks. In the ICE system installation, a number of high-tech devices are used, to add energy and power, so the entertainment facility that can incarnate. Here’s an important point in the system of the ICE / Multimedia.

Head Unit
Popular design for the main audio device, which may reflect a combination of a DVD player, radio, communication equipment, and other functions. In short ICE system will not run if you do not have this device. At the head unit is also usually a number of functions can be ordered to work. Ranging from audio-visual function, memory store, to regulate flow of sound, all controlled from these tools. Simply put, the brain from the head unit is an audio system which is usually located in dashboard.

In general there are head unit on auto blank skip (wave seeker, CD tracks, or other programs), automatic volume control (volume panel), auto store the radio (radio frequency storage), balance control (balance control volume), and others.

Monitor
Done any additional monitoring devices, there are many types of monitors that can be found in workshops SO’mers audio, ranging from Headrest monitors, monitor the Visor, and roof monitors to the application of plasma TV in the cabin. During accordance the need, it could serve the needs of the device.

Processor
Is a device that serves as a bridge between the head unit with other functions, especially the speakers. Processor provides convenience to create an audio system in accordance with the wishes. As an example for setting up between left and right speakers so that the accuracy of voice usually be appropriate, this is where the role of the processor. Sound signal, the frequency of the waves, the distribution channel, to spread the sound made by these tools. In the market has found many digital processors with a myriad of features.

Amplifier
typically power amplifiers for ICE, in lieu of using power between 2500 – 5000 watts depending on the quality of power itself. If you want to save the number of amplifiers, now available many of the channel amplifiers with more, such as five-channel amplifier. So that support personnel a more complete and cost efficient driver amplifier. While for other options such as subwoofer can choose mono block amplifier, capable of providing stability to power with a large watt subwoofer.

Speakers
Speaker in accordance with its meaning meant as a loudspeaker. However, in an audio system, there are several types of speakers who threaded to produce quality sound. As if to represent the sound is produced, the speaker also consists of a kind midrange, mid bass and tweeters.

To backstop the car theater system, speaker drivers usually added, the center speaker which is mounted on the front, while the rear surround speakers were also added. Schematic speakers should be adjusted to 5.1-sound system and front speakers: left, right and center and rear speakers: left and right and subwoofer-.

Subwoofer
Many are not satisfied with the provided ear systems automotive factory. Therefore, do not little modification to the vehicle audio and video systems to gain maximum satisfaction. One of the many modified is the subwoofer. It aims to make music that is produced can provide an ideal bass sound quality.
However, the required accuracy in choosing a subwoofer that will be used. Because, every subwoofer has its own character. Therefore, it would be better if the test is conducted prior to the subwoofer to express the capabilities and weaknesses, testing can be done in the workshop subwoofer audio. And select a subwoofer that is suitable for the ICE system with a general measure between 10-12 inches.

Capacitor bank
Serves to stabilize the electrical system in the car so as not to drop. Usually for audio ICE, the use of capacitor banks, with a capacity of 1 to 2.5 farads. But the size of capacitor banks depends on the quality of each.

Ice Installation Tips
To make room spelled out a car into the family room is easy-easy to hard. Moreover, the limited space and the presence of car seats that could impede the flow of sound that comes out of speakers. Here are some tips for the installation of the ICE system.

1. Places to restructure audio devices
Usually to put some audio in the car cabin, made box for subwoofer and speakers in advance, for packaging (leather) is usually adjusted to the character and color of the car cabin interior. Materials for the manufacture of any box set, had to use wood MDF (Medium Density fiberboard) measuring 15 mm.

2. Designing a good cable connection
After making the box, the next step is to connect the cable, between the component cable with the other one should be careful. For, one in link cause short circuiting and fires. Therefore should be regulated as neat as possible to avoid dangerous things. Then the installations of audio devices were carried out. Subwoofer is in accordance with the desired character was planted in a box that was created earlier. Then the speakers, power-power supporter and a subwoofer and an appropriate capacitor bank were also installed in the car cabin concerned.

Talk cable, preferably wrapped with wires and hoses fuel hose spiral the workshop can be found in audio, this is for the safety of the cable itself or in the car audio system. Not to miss if you want to secure use fuse / fuse in the power of the battery cable connections to the amplifier. In addition to the speakers is good cable connection using tin solder, so solid and the sound became constant.

3. Select the expert of installers
Alert and be careful in choosing an audio workshop, Pick fitter who has a very good reputation, can search through the forum reference, websites, and magazines. And, most importantly the price of installation must be adjusted to So’mers pocket. Qualified installers typically provide a free consultation prior to the consumer to install an audio system
