My car audio system is broken. About an year ago, first the cassette player stopped working. Actually, there was no mechanical problem (I could play/rewind/ff the cassette) but when the cassette played, no other sound except the noise hum could be heard. At that time, the AM/FM radio was still working. However, even that went down that path about six months ago. Now I hear nothing but the noisy BRRR when I turn on either the radio or the cassette player. What could have gone wrong? Any easy fix that I could do myself to solve this problem.

I want to upgrade my sounds on my new car but know absolutely nothing about it. Where can I learn about the physics about car audio so I can make a good choice on what to buy?

I am about to buy a car audio system. ( my first) and was wondering if i needed to break it in before i could turn it up real loud, and how long, if so. If you have a website to help me with this, please send it to me, or post it. Thanks.

I’m getting a new audio CD system for my car. Has anyone ever used bestbuy or Circuit City to install? If so, was the installation professional and adequate? If not where would be the best place to go to have it done professionally?

Cindy asked:


I’m trying to get a better car audio system than my previous, but I can’t remember whether to get 2 ohms or 4- Also, do you know what 2 or 4 ohms can handle in terms of watts from an amplifier…without starting a fire in my trunk….

MystWlker asked:


Car audio system – 2 550 watt amplifiers, 2 10 subs, 2 250 watt 6x9s, 1 .5 farad capacitor, upgraded battery and alternator. After installing the capacitor according to the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, I find that the car battery is draining while parked with the system turned off. The amps are powering off, the only apparent cause is the recently added capacitor. After removing the cap from the system, the battery drain appears to have stopped. Is this normal for a capacitor to drain the battery under these conditions, or could it be malfunctioning?
