Tip #6: Add a signal processor or an equalizer. The interior of a car presents some serious problems when it comes to sound quality. Glass and plastic surfaces reflect sound like crazy, while carpet, seat covers, and other absorbent materials soak it up. Add poorly-placed speakers to the mix, and you wind up with significant frequency response peaks in most car interiors. These peaks make your music boomy in the bass or shrill in the upper frequencies, causing ear fatigue. AudioControls EQL trunk-mount 2-channel equalizer AudioControls EQL equalizer features 13 bands of equalization, and its level matching controls get maximum voltage to your amps. Most car receivers give you treble, midrange, and bass controls — useful for global fixes but not for zeroing in on problem areas. Youll need an equalizer to kill these peaks, whether its built into your receiver or in a processor mounted in your dash or near your amplifiers. An outboard equalizer gives you multiple points for adjusting frequency response, so you can iron out those peaks in your system. A parametric equalizer allows you to vary the centerpoint and width of each EQ band, so you can really zero in on a problem area. Sound processors help you eliminate frequency response peaks and increase bass response, and some even include a microphone for analyzing your cars acoustics.
