Although this is common technology, the new and latest craze is to have a DVD player or entertainment system in your car. Now like any type of technology there are the small cheap systems and the large fully packed expensive systems. In this new craze what ever type of car DVD player you get, I can tell you that you will be in a movie viewer?s paradise. How to Buy a DVD Player 1. Make sure you know what range of car DVD players you can afford. Not every person is going to be able to afford or want the top of the range high end systems. Work out what price you can afford and than work out after that what in that price range you want. Don?t do it the other way round and buy something you can not afford. 2. Buy one that is not going to out date easy. Although I said only spend what you can afford, try to get a system that is going to be in the past and of no use in the future. 3. Make sure that you take test DVDs and CDs with you. Like ordinary DVD and CD player there are different formats that can be played on them, some of the different formats are DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-RW and more. Make sure that you take a DVD and CD disc that you have created at home so that you can test to see if the player you are buying is going to play them. 4. Make sure that you install a car DVD player in the right spot. Before you go ahead and have a DVD player installed in your car, make sure that you inspect it to find out where the best position is put it. Getting an expert opinion can be helpful too. 5. Getting a good quality antenna is also a recommended additive if you want to be able to watch television on the player. Diversity antennas or dual-antennas are specially designed for this and will give you crystal clear television while you are on the road. 6. If you have a small budget buying an all-in-one DVD player is a great choice. These units are simple to use and are very portable. An all-in-one in one unit normally comes with the DVD player, speakers and screen all in one unit. 7. However if you have quite a large budget and are going for a component system you will be looking at have multiple screens and most of the components will be separate. These component systems normally have the sound component played directly into the car stereo and the option to use headphones. You will also see that most of these systems will have screens in the back of seat headrests and ones that pop up out of the dashboard. These systems are quite complex so I recommend that if you get one you shop around and get an expert option. 8. Lastly make sure that the electronics of your car are going to be able to handle a DVD player or systems. You will need a professional to determine this for you.

Car audio systems are one of the most wanted luxury items today. And many of us try to look for the cheapest options available. Any product is marketed through a chain of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and customers. You can get wholesale rates if the retailer is skipped. But in most cases, car audio systems are supplied only through retailers. Getting car audio systems at discounted prices is convenient with online shopping, auctions, dealer discounts and used products. But authentic car audio systems on wholesale basis can be tricky to find. There are online wholesale clubs which provide people with information on wholesale deals but the authenticity of products can be questionable. A lot of effort and research is required to locate wholesale sources for car audio systems. Some wholesalers sell new audio systems, some market secondhand systems and a few also auction for bulk deals. Some manufacturers with wholesale units also set up their own retail outlets. This way the customer gets a lower price and the manufacturer enjoys higher profits, as everything is done in-house. Price is certainly a factor to consider, but source is as important. It is better to verify the source from the manufacturer. Unauthorized dealers may not give a full warranty. Many reputable car audio manufacturers do not allow Internet sales. Nonetheless, we find all brands and models, which may just be gray market items. The seller might not even know that serial numbers have been tampered with, which makes the manufacturer?s warranty void. Such problems are hard to deal with and trace back if needed. Do an Internet search on wholesale car audio systems, and hundreds of sites appear claiming to be wholesalers. But most reviews say that the prices are at par with retail. So if you think that you have found a good wholesale deal, beware and check it out before making your final payment.

I've heard the question asked many times before, 'Do I really need a crossover?' Without wasting any time I quickly answer, 'Yes you do'. Whether it's a passive crossover or an active crossover, your car audio system will never sound good without a crossover. I want to make myself very clear here, so before you get confused let's talk about what a car audio crossover is and why you need one. A crossover is a filtering device which limits the frequencies that reach a speaker. It splits a music signal into separate frequency ranges and sends them to speakers that are designed to best reproduce each frequency range. For instance, only high frequencies would be sent to your tweeters, midrange to your mid range speakers, and lows to your subwoofer. The passive crossover is very common. It's basically a capacitor or coil installed on the speaker leads between amplifier and speaker that stops certain frequencies from reaching a speaker. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to install. But for your car stereo system to perform better and be efficient, you need an active crossover, also referred to as an electronic crossover. It is installed between your head unit or equalizer and your amplifiers. Your electronic crossover sends the proper frequency ranges to each amplifier. Some people run three separate amps: one for bass, one for mids and the other for highs. Active crossovers are almost infinitely adjustable. You can vary the crossover points and adjust the level of separate speakers to achieve the best overall sound in your vehicle. If you're serious about sound you must have a car audio crossover. Otherwise your system will sound terrible. Oh what a mess it will be when your subwoofer and mid-range speakers duplicate many of the same frequencies! How about when your mid-range speaker attempts to put out high notes that your tweeters are supposed to handle. Can you bear such grief? I can't. And this is just the beginning of your sorrow and pain. Since low frequencies are being sent to your tweeters there will be distortion. As a result of this distortion your tweeters will be destroyed. Loud bass will eventually destroy your mid-range speakers as well. Now you've got to start from scratch and buy a new set of speakers, all because you started on the wrong footing.

Mobile Video Prices are coming down big time and it makes sense to score your self a new complete system for your car or SUV. The competition is getting hot and now is the time to grab one. Many people who have these video systems no longer complain when they are in the back seat stuck in traffic. Kids are actually a joy to travel with and all these systems are available and installable and some as low as $499 plus installation. Have you considered a new Mobile Video System for your car? There are about ten very well known brand names and of course some pretty convincing looking Chinese knock-off or pirated patented products slipping into the market as well. You have sent the seat head rest models and many of these require such little amount or installation that you can be in and out in around an hour or so? I see people lined up to install these at radio shops and having been in the aftermarket auto business on the auto detailing side for some 20 plus years, I wonder why more people are not lined up? Perhaps it is a trade off with folks as the fuel prices keep going up and seem to be cutting into their expensive taste for toys and accessories. Yet, with the prices coming down, that does not make sense either and I assume people just do not know; so, I thought I might tell you personally. Consider all this in 2006.
