Performance And Looks Of A Car Stereo System

It is very difficult for the car audio fans to decide whether to give importance to looks over performance or vice versa. But keep in mind that this dilemma is only with the amplifiers and stereo as subwoofers usually have a particular look. No doubt, you can choose a good looking car audio system by searching out various interesting audio systems that have varied colors, forms and designs.

 However, all the car audio dealers think that it is necessary to know the performance of the music system rather than looks yet there are many people who purchase the car audio systems by getting attracted from the looks of some car accessories and stereo systems. No doubt, it is true that nobody would like to purchase any product with weird looks, large buttons and little hardly visible letters. This is not only uncomfortable for the eyes but also impractical.

 However, the overall look of the stereo remains the same. Only modifications can be made in color, the display screen aesthetics and the button size or button layout of the system. The main frame is usually of silver or black color with the additional colors on the buttons or the display screen. These colors mostly consist of blue, green and red.

 Although the amplifiers do not show these limitations like the stereos, they are mostly in flat rectangular shape and not made in any unusual or interesting shapes. There are also triangular and tubular amplifiers seen in the market that are attached to the audio system of the car. The amplifier designs can be manipulated easily. Despite of this, manufacturers like to design the older rectangular metal style just because of its popularity.

 Although you can say that the amplifiers are typecast, still there are varied looking models available in the market. Mcintosh is the latest model which is now-a-days carrying attention of many customers due to its good and ostentatious looks. Another German creation, Brax also offers great structure, accurate persona and cold steel. It is a beautiful model which has no angle rounded or wrong because of its precise and perfect design.

 Apart from this there are models that attract you although, they are not slick, ostentatious or smooth. A model named Blast BL-500 has impressed me as it consists of the angles and curves in a soothing lime green color. This model has colorful and smooth angles which carry your attention in any car audio system. Another company Edge which is popular for its eye catching looks and great power promises to prove that amplifiers can also be created beautifully.

 The company has proved this by making a tangy orange color amplifier.
 Therefore, it is not necessary that the car stereo systems should have ugly look as there are many companies that are manufacturing different models with attractive looks and good features. Remember, to always give priority to performance rather than looks as this would only give long lasting results.

The Evolution of Cars

For centuries, cars have proven their importance to the economies of countries around the world. The most practical cars used to be just luxuries for those who can afford, but overtime, they have become a necessity for people who want to travel with comfort, convenience, ease, and speed. Indeed, cars have evolved through time-from the crude models that were used years ago, Performance cars are now being invented year by year to satisfy people's need for speed and endurance.

 The First Car

 Several vehicle designs have been created since 1335, but it was not until 1769 that the first documented self-propelled vehicle was made. This vehicle, designed by Nicholas Joseph Cugnot and assembled by M. Brezin, was powered by a steam engine. While it had the ability to go around town, it required a counterweight at the rear for it not to fall over forward. It was also very heavy and could only be used on flat surfaces. After the successful creation of this very first mobile car, many other inventors tried to create their own steam-powered cars, but failed.

 The Karl Benz Model

 In 1885, another successful automobile model was created. This was designed by Karl Benz, a German designer and car engineer. This time, the car was powered by an internal combustion engine. It had three wheels: one at the front and two at the rear. Like Cugnot's model, Benz's car was heavy and was prone to accidents. Benz continued to improve his invention, though, and was later able to create the very first practical four-wheeled vehicle. Benz equipped his automobiles with a gear shift, a radiator, ignition, accelerator, clutch, and carburetor. He sold his cars to the public and became the largest manufacturer of automobiles in the 1900s.

 The Modern Vehicles

 Since the invention of the first car models, a lot of experiments have been made to better improve the functionality and features of vehicles. These days, we now have what we call the modern vehicles. These vehicles contain rich features that are not only a necessity but provide aesthetic functionality as well. The cars of today, whether they be a Performance car, a sports car, Luxury SUV, sedan, or whatever type, now sport indispensable features, such as the breaks, electrical indicators, seatbelts, air-conditioning units, automatic transmissions, air bags, bumpers, and even car radios. Gone are the days where people have to make-do with vehicles that can take them around town in a speed of 2 miles per hour and which are prone to bumping into walls. The cars of today can run at high speeds, bringing people to their intended destinations in a span of shorter hours.

 The evolution of cars has led to the improvements of many people's way of living. It cannot be denied that these automobiles have made people's lives easier, providing them the means to reach their workplaces faster and to gain better access to important business locations. Basically, cars improve mobility, providing not only economic advantages to businesses but easier living to individuals as well.
